Crab Cottage Reviews

Crab Cottage was just perfect for the 3 of us. Beautifully situated and cottage decorated thoughtfully too. Warm feel with lots of homely touches. Good quality quilts, pillows, bed linen and towels provided. Owners were on hand to answer any questions or queries and were very responsive and friendly. I only have positives about the accommodation but having drawers in the bedrooms would have been helpful as no where to keep items anything, other than hanging in wardrobes. I understand this was possibly to maximise space but locating drawer units inside the wardrobes would have been very helpful. Emailed Sykes a couple of weeks before we started our break away to ask a question, I never had a reply!
Damian
Great location. Could do with some hooks on the doors as struggled with drying towels and no drawers in any of the bedrooms. Only minor points. Overall we had a fantastic stay.
Had a great holiday crab cottage was fantastic highly recommended best part of the holiday was coming back too the hot tub. .
Stephen
Lovely cottage, on arrival the friendly owner came up and introduced himself, we had a lovely surprise on the table for us some chocolates and a bottle of prosecco, the cottage was very clean and had all the essential items that we needed, the hot tub was amazing, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again, perfect family holiday, thank you so much again for letting us stay!

Couldnt fault the owners they were on hand and very helpful in increasing the hot tub temperature Crab cottage was lovely and upon arrival was quite clean apart from 6 inches of dust on all the skirting boards otherwise a lovely stay
Superb situation for aces to beach with younger children. A well designed cottage enabling 4 adults and two children to explore the whole island.
Nicholas
A great stay at Crab Cottage overall. Owners very responsive. Some extra storagehooksshelves in the bedrooms would be useful. In the kitchen, we were a little short of bowls and small plates so had to keep washing them up. Some saltpepper would also have been appreciated. The folder of information about the appliances was not very user friendly. Eg. We would like to have known all the symbols on the cooker!

Natalie
Crab Cottage was absolutely fantastic. The hosts are super welcoming and helpful. The cottage facilities were great. It has a well stocked kitchen, very comfortable lounge and bedrooms. The hottub is fantastic, and in a great little garden perfect for barbecues. The village of Bembridge is lovely, lots of nice little shops and restaurants, and Crab Cottage is within in a short walk to the beach. I would definitely recommend a stay here
Sharon
Fabulous property, fabulous location, loved the flowers and treats on arrival. The hot tub was amazing at the end of each day. Will definitely return.
We absolutely loved our five night stay in Crab Cottage. We have stayed in several selfcatering properties over the years and I can genuinely say that this is the nicest property we have ever stayed in! We are two retired couples. We appreciated that there were two bathrooms, with wonderful showers. The beds were comfortable. There was plenty of space for us. The Wifi was excellent. The owner's gift items were also much appreciated. Everything, including the location just two minutes' walk from the Bembridge coast and a very nice pub, was superb.
This was a really enjoyable holiday in an attractive and very well furnished property. Everything is provided to make a really comfortable stay. The property is in an excellent location with the beach and pub just a short walk away and shops nearby as well.
Amazing cottage and location, me and my family loved it. Karla the owner was wonderful too..
Veronica
Crab Cottage is a great holiday location. Its proximity to the beaches, not to mention the local pub and shops, was a big plus, and we found so much to do in the immediate locality we almost regretted hiring a car. The cottage itself was comfortable, very clean and well appointed. Theres only one however, which is to point out a lack of storage for clothes etc in the bedrooms. But dont let that put you off. Its a great choice!
The house is ideally situated for lovely coastal walks, has a lovely pub restaurant within walking distance and despite its closeness there is no noise. The house is well equipped and is extremely clean. One minor thing to be aware of is that whilst 2 out of the 3 bedrooms have wardrobes in them there are no cupboard draws in the bedrooms. Perhaps some portable hanging shelves could be placed in the wardrobes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house and the area of Bembridge is wonderful we hope to return soon
Jeffery
A pint of milk, tea sugar and a packet of biscuits would be greatly appreciated, as with other holiday lets. The house was extremely clean and a few toys were enjoyed by our 3 year old grandson. Would have loved a some garden furniture to sit comfortably reading a book or hopefully take in the rays. However having been to Bembridge for 40 years, this house is our list for the future. Thank you house owner
Stephen
This is more of a home than holiday accommodation, we were mostly very comfortable. This is a home with style, I particularly loved the kitchen and bathrooms love that ensuite shower!. Unfortunately, the master bed was a bit too low, which was ok with me, but too low for my husband. This is why I couldn't give full Mark's for comfort, sorry... If it's possible to push the single beds together, this cottage is somewhere we would love to stay again in. The area is very close to the sea and there are lots of footpaths, but there are a lot of houses in the area, and a very busy pub at the end of the road, so it can get a little busy with cars, but it's not at all noisy.
Amanda
Fantastic service from start to finish. Crab Cottage was beautiful and exceeded all expectations. Will definitely be using you again and looking forward to coming back next year. Thank you!!!!
Timothy
Crab Cottage was a beautiful place to stay, in a fantastic location close to the beach. And not far from Bembridge village. We also enjoyed the hot tub. We really enjoyed walks along the beach, such pretty shoreline. Cottage was modern, well designed, nice & light and very clean. We had a relaxing stay.
There was a lack of storage in the bedrooms, some drawers or shelves would of been useful and some hooks on doors or somewhere to hang the towels. Was disappointed by the cleanliness of the cups, cooking utensils and barbecue too. The garden furniture also could do with either maintained or being replaced.
Crab Cottage is a beautiful property, fully equipped for a lovely relaxing holiday. The owners were very welcoming on our arrival. Bembridge is a lovely friendly village. The beach and Crab and Lobster pub are located at the end of the road. We would definitely recommend Crab Cottage and can't wait to stay here again.
A lovely cottage right by the seaside. The place was so welcoming and had all mod cons, especially liked the fancy fridge! The shower was great and the place was spotless. The interior design is beautiful and the local touches of artwork were appreciated. We hope to return soon.
Excellent cottage, Great owners who will go out their way to make you stay a very special one. Definitely recommenced 100. Can't wait to return and stay again!
Had a fantastic week at Crab cottage, a real home from home.
Really enjoyed our holiday at this property, extremely well furnished, with high quality fixtures and fittings. Also very spacious and comfortable with lots of extra facilities.Situated in a very good location.
Crab Cottage provides very good well located accommodation. It's Ideal for exploring Bembridge and its surrounds which just happens to be our favourite place on the IoW.
Excellent cottage, excellent location!
Hannah
The cottage was absolutely amazing. All the facilities were as listed apart from we took our own BBQ and it turned out there was one there already. The only quibble was the front bedroom bed creaked a lot, and I mean a lot every little movement in the night and everyone was awake. Would recommend a new mattress.
Peter J
It was nice to be greeted by the owner who was a very friendly gentleman. Also in the house were beautiful fresh roses and a large box of chocolates The house is very tastefully furnished and everything you need. Plenty of room for a family or in our case with 2 friends. We all thoroughly enjoyed the week and would definitely be returning and recommending to other family and friends. Thank you for a memorable week.
Caroline
Crab Cottage is a newly built house and everything is sparkling new and spotless. Facilities are good and location great. The addition of the hot tub is a little extra luxury. We had a super week.
