Tollgate Cottages Bed and Breakfast

This was a fabulous find. Mark our host was super, offering a friendly welcome with tea & biscuits. Access to a beautiful garden is a bonus as the rooms in the private annex are very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Two sofas & free netflix make for a proper seating area to relax in the evening after busy days sightseeing. The property is set in a rural location so you can expect some agricultural activity in the distance, and a bit of road noise BUT this is not intrusive. A special note of thanks too for the bed linen which was crisp cotton on lightweight duvets entirely appropriate to the heat we were experiencing that week. Breakfast was excellent, served in the annex, and we had the use of a microwave and fridge, with cold water on arrival. There was an excellent selection of cereals plus cooked breakfast on offer & orange juice & toast. The bathroom was spotless with plenty of large towels. Night sensor lights were positioned discretely so as to minimise disruption and provide safe access to the bathroom in the middle of the night. This is a really well thought out accommodation with a highly experienced B&B provider. Freshwater and the surrounding area is a gem. Forget Cowes! There is so much to see and experience in this quarter especially if you like beautiful scenery, great pubs, country houses of historical interest, good food and long walks.

Excellent breakfast with plenty of choices for all. Exceptionally clean throughout and lovely garden to relax in.

We were satisfied with the facilities so no complaints from us

the self contained element and having the use of the garden

nothing!!

Excellent choice for breakfast. Lovely fruit. Beautifully presented.

mark was very friendly and welcoming.

Excellent breakfast - plenty of choice. The accommodation was more like a cottage than a B&B. The owner was very friendly and had a lot of local knowledge.

Nothing.

Mark was very welcoming on arrival. The location was idyllic with very nice views from both bedrooms. Mark was very knowledgeable of the island and the area and recommended places to eat and also left contact numbers for takeaways and restaurants. A nice touch was having access to Netflix and Amazon prime video whilst staying. The breakfast in the morning was amazing and he had gone above and beyond preparing the table and serving the food, everything was on offer and it was no problem at all for him. We are very grateful for having the opportunity to stay there and with a demanding 5 year old he made our stay relaxing and comfortable. Highly recommended anyone staying on the island to book here if possible, a great experience!

Lovely place to stay, clean, nice gardens, easy parking and would definitely recommend and will come back again. The breakfast was amazing Mark was a great host. Thanks Chris & Claire

The house is clean and comfortable. The downstairs living and dining area makes the stay feel like home from home. Breakfast is great. The host is very nice and helpful.

Excellent breakfasts. Friendly & welcoming hosts. Would highly recommend.

Clean and bright. Loved having the separate living space downstairs for the evenings after the little one has gone to bed and you still have the convenience of breakfast being made. Mark is a lovely host who is always happy to help. He kindly gave us plates and cutlery to have dinner in the house as we struggled with restaurant bookings during half term.

Some extra balcony window coverings in the bedrooms as it’s so bright early in the morning but that is only a small niggle and probably slightly personal preference.

Very warm welcome from Mark. Great accommodation and we were left wanting for nothing. Will definitely visit again.

Heerlijk ontbijt en vriendelijke en behulpzame host.
