The Old Signal House - a cottage that sleeps 9 guests in 4 bedrooms

We came over as a group of friends to visit the Isle of Wight, although I would say the property is definitely aimed at family holidays. The instructions to get into the property were clear and simple and communication on the build up to our holiday was great. The property is really special, it was clean and we had plenty of fresh linen. The games room is a great addition and we really enjoyed having a few games of pool, and made use of the board games left for us! The kitchen was also really well stocked with equipment for preparing dinners at home, which definitely saved us a great deal of money being able to prepare breakfast and our own meals some days. The scenery and view is spectacular and there is very little noise/ light pollution which made getting to sleep great, helped by really comfy beds! There was ample parking which is great as the property is secluded, although there are public transport links on the 6 bus route. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Such a beautiful place to spend time with people we love. Our dogs thought they were in heaven as they had a whole field to romp in. We would come here again.

On the plus size this is a truely unique location and the people that converted this space from a dull 1970s BT building to a cool house should be applauded. It's a perfect getaway location and you're truely isolated (in a good way) but with lots of great walks and places to explore. We really enjoyed all the smuggling past nearby. Things which could be improved - this clearly was a labour of love which needs reinventing. You can feel it's all a bit tired - equipment that no longer functions, stuff to do which is worn out or unusable (dvds, music, wii) should just not be there because you get excited about laying 'that old game' or listening to 'that old album' and find it doesn't work. There is 1 TV and 1 radio and neither of them work very well. We spent a lot of time in awe at the potential of this amazing building with another injection of capital and love and we wish the owners the best. In conclusion - perfect for walks, reading books or as a base station for a big family. Don't expect luxury.Oh and when the TV, Wii, Radio and DVD player didn't work, we messaged the owner and got no reply. It's not clear who you should contact if there is a problem during your stay - infact the folder full of information is woefully out of date and half of it was specifically for a previous guest.

we enjoyed our stay here as much as the first time and will look to go again .Warm, well appointed and ideal location for all the family. Everything you could want is here

The location and the size of the property are excellent and can not be faulted. What really let's it down though is the standard of cleanliness, dusty skirting boards, build up of dust and fur under sofas, kitchen cupboard doors needs a good scrub. We didn't let it effect our stay as the house was just a place to sleep and have the occasional evening meal. Beds are ok, again showing signs of wear and pillows need replacing. Overall we still had a great time and would still recommend to people.

In great need of TLC outside and in. Needs a Deep Clean. House looks very sad. Under sheets stained.

This well equipped cottage has plenty of room for everyone to all be together (mealtimes) or have their own space (outdoor seating & access to the Coastal Path). What an amazing collection of books throughout the property. The younger members could walk to Blackgang Chine while the older guests enjoyed time to relax indoors and outdoors - we all loved the Games Room! Fresh bread (and much more) is available from Norris's in Niton and there are plenty of places to choose for eating out. Everyone agreed this was one of the few cottages where a large multi generational party could comfortably stay for 2 weeks. Thank you.

Lovely location, with some great walks, very hilly and beautiful scenery The property was cosy ,but definitely needs an up grade as its very tired

The house is in an amazing setting within a meadow with a short walk to the beautiful views on the coast path. The house was well equipped with everything you need and had loads of space for our family trip. Good location within a short drive to lots of nice beaches. Would recommend.

We were 4 couples each with our own bathroom which was perfect. Lovely open space to eat and be together. We all have grown up children but all agreed what a lovely place it would be to bring children, we described the house as robust, needing TLC but we thought it added to its charm. No need to worry about precious items. We walked into the village via the coastal path to both pubs which were fab. The mattress in the master bedroom was way too soft for us and oved to a smaller room. There is a fab drying room perfect for drying your wet items. It was so tranquil, the Wi-Fi was good and good mobile reception. If you cycle the roads were perfect and the cyclist had a lovely time.
