Stayed here earlier on in the year.the people who run it are very friendly and very welcoming.the rooms are first class and the facilities too.Grant is an excellent cook and makes the finest eggs benedict I have ever tasted. Location of the cottage is pretty central and the pub in the village called the foresters cooks tremendous food

From the moment we arrived - in the dark and quite late - we felt at home. The rooms each have their private 'patio' and we were blessed with three fine warm days. There is everything in the room you might ever want, Breakfast became the highlight with the best eggs benedict I've had outside the US. I cannot recommend it too highly - it is worth every penny of the amount over and above usual rate,

Gail and Grant are the perfect hosts. Providing sumptious accommodation, the like of which we have never seen in a B & B before. The breakfasts are delicious and an unforgetable experience, served in the elegant conservatory. Their willingness to advise on the area and their "nothing is too much trouble" approach makes for a truly relaxing and memorable experience.

After enjoying a 4 day break at Koala Cottage in 2009, we decided to return to Godshill for Cowes week at the beginning of August in 2010 but this time we stayed for 7 nights! We again received a friendly welcome from Gail and Grant who are the most helpful hosts you could wish to find for whom nothing is too much trouble. The little touches such as fresh milk left in your fridge daily to make drinks are really appreciated.
Our accommodation was a deluxe, spacious suite with comfortable beds, Sky TV, CD/DVD player, radio and fridge. The huge ensuite bathroom has a Victorian roll top bath and separate shower unit and there are plenty of fluffy white towels and robes that are so comfortable. Complimentary toiletries are also provided.
We were greeted upon arrival to find a welcoming picnic hamper complete with wine, cheeses, biscuits, pie, fruit and chocolates - ideal for our visits to the pop concerts at Osbourne House over the weekend.
The breakfasts are delicious and plentiful, ranging from traditional country-cooked locally sourced English breakfasts to smoked salmon and scrambled eggs or freshly caught haddock that Grant collected from Ventnor especially for us!
There are local restaurants, pubs and tea gardens all within waliking distance - the Taverners pub provides excellent, well-priced meals and the Essex restaurant is also worth a visit.
Koala Cottage is highly recommended for couples looking for either a 3 or 4 night break or like us, stay for the whole week.
