Koala Cottage

Impossible not to give this place 5 stars. Beautiful, clean and well equipped rooms, Shona and Amanda are the loveliest hosts you could possibly ask for and nothing is too much trouble. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious, as were the evening cocktails! The location is fab, quiet but with a few really good amenities within a stones throw away, including a couple of pubs, restaurants, and gift shops (make sure you check out the lovely teddy bear shop across the road!). Absolutely wonderful and we will definitely be returning, thank you for a fabulous stay.

This is a delightful B&B run by hardworking Amanda and Shona. They ensure you have everything you need from the moment you arrive. The bedroom was extremely well equipped and we slept very well. The room has air conditioning and it had a silent setting which kept the temperature perfect. There is parking and an EV charger which took the stress out of traveling with an electric car. The village is beautiful with lots of restaurants within walking distance. Public transport is very good on the island.

Impossible to give this anything other than 5 star. Superb accommodation in an immaculately presented room with as much tasty breakfast as you could ever want. Shona and Amanda were excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble. If we could give 6 stars we would; thank you!

Very friendly welkome by Amanda and Shona. The room and bathroom were very clean, large and equiped with airco. Breakfast is freshly cooked and everything is possible. The owners gave substraat tips for restaurants and hotspots at the Island. We have had a great stay.

If you’re looking for a lovely stay in a small quintessential English Village (complete with thatched cottages nearby) on the Isle of Wight, then you’ve found the right place! We arrived in Southampton from a cruise and took a 30 minute catamaran trip over to the island. The cottage is located about 25 minutes from the port. Shona and Amanda make you feel like family and the three very spacious, well designed rooms allow you space, comfort, and many extra amenities that a standard bed and breakfast forget. The rooms are spotless, breakfasts delicious and the tiki bar in the back (weather permitting) is an extra touch. The pictures on their website are real photos and not altered. Godshill is a small village connected to towns via bus or taxi (need to arrange in advance), but has a few quality restaurants and pubs within walking distance, a cafe and bakery, some shops, a model village, thatched cottages and the ‘church on the hill’…and the donuts! You’ll have to ask about them! Thank you Shona and Amanda for an enjoyable and memorable visit!

We had the best weekend at Koala Cottage! The room was amazing and we really enjoyed the quirky touch of having a record player in the room. We're actually planning on buying one ourselves now. Shona and Amanda were such wonderful hosts and made the most delicious breakfasts, thank you :) We can't recommend this place enough!
