We spent a lovely three days at Holly Cottage in July. The location was beautiful and peaceful, the cottage itself was very comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches from the hosts, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. Would definitely recommend.

Holly Cottages is in an idyllic setting on a very peaceful and quiet country lane but still just out
Holly Cottages is in an idyllic setting on a very peaceful and quiet country lane but still just outside Godshill. The owners have furnished it with everything you need for a comfortable stay, comfy bed, good shower, nice sofas, good kitchen. It is very dog friendly and we were all made to feel very welcome. I only marked it down as the garden is safe but small. There is use of a lovely paddock which has a pond and a stream and our dog loved running there.
