Downedge - a house that sleeps 13 guests in 6 bedrooms

This beautiful old house was the perfect place for 3 families to gather. The garden and games room provided lots of entertainment. The kitchen was a great hub for everyone to gather and had so much equipment and dishes etc. Having a separate lounge and another dining room was great for the kids to be able to play board games and chill out. The fireplace in the other lounge was lovely on a spring evening when the temperature dropped. The house was very cosy and the beds were very comfortable. The house is old so some of the decoration was a tired and the house a bit dusty. We had lots of ladybirds also staying! However this didn't impact out stay and we would have loved to know a little about the people in the old photos and olympic badges around the house! Google maps needs updating with the location as it wasn't easy to find. Or maybe provide a 'what three words' to help navigation.

Our multi-generational family group enjoyed having plenty of space inside and outside the property. The large kitchen table was brilliant for family meals. The house was well equipped with everything we needed to accommodate, entertain and cater for everyone.

Beautiful old house. Spacious. Very well equipped kitchen. very well equipped games room.. mattresses and pillows lumpy. Dirty in some areas.

We had a wonderful holiday with three generations celebrating a special birthday. The house was very comfortable offering plenty of space for all the family. The huge garden was lovely and as we were blessed with good weather we took full advantage of being outside. A few points to note: the property was not easy to find when we first arrived. It would be helpful to mention the cream wall at the entrance. The stair carpet was very worn. The coffee making machine was very slow and noisy. However we had a very enjoyable time and would recommend Downedge as a lovely holiday house.

This is the fourth time I have stayed at Downedge over the years. It’s a great size house in a great location and well equipped. I really noticed this time that it needs some TLC and a deep clean. There were lots of cobwebs and dust. The stair carpets are very frayed and there were lots of leak stains on the ceiling. We didn’t use the front room as the sofas are very uncomfortable.

Downedge house suited are needs perfectly. Lovely grounds and facilities. Enjoyed a game of croquet, table tennis and darts. Good for walks to coast and view point. Great local pub with superb food (Yarbridge inn).

Beautiful property in a lovely location. Even though the weather was poor this did not distract from a fantastic stay.

A fabulous period home nestled in Brading, East access to several walks, including Brading Downs, Culver and the beaches at Yaverland and Sandown. The house is a fabulous size, and perfect for a family getaway.the

This is our second stay at Downedge because it has the capacity for our extended family. We love the big and fully equipped kitchen plenty of room around the large table. The garden is amazing and love the garden furniture. We now own an electric car and it would be perfect if we could charge overnight on a charger on the property as the electric charging points on the Isle of Wight are few and far between.

Downedge is a comfortable house which feels more like a home than a holiday rental house. Large bed rooms, plenty of downstairs rooms if you need them and a huge garden with lots of space for children. The kitchen is one of its main attractions. Large, bright and really well equipped with good quality stuff.
