Being on the Bembridge Trail, the cottage is perfect for walkers of all ages, and an excellent bike path is just yards away - borrow from our wide selection of bikes! A Welcome Hamper will greet you when you arrive, with a selection of Isle of Wight produce, and home-made goodies! The Brew House is perfect for families of all ages, with a wide selection of toys, games and books. It is also an ideal cottage for couples. There is a private courtyard with teak table and chairs, perfect for al fresco dining. The wood-burning stove in the inglenook fireplace makes for cosy evenings in the autumn and winter. A well-equipped kitchen makes self-catering a pleasure.

The main bedroom has a king-size double bed. Linens are all new and of excellent quality and beds will be made up for you on arrival. Your electricity is powered by the Isle of Wight sunshine, as we have a good solar installation here for the whole house. There is plenty of information in The Brew House of the many, many attractions and activities on the Isle of Wight, and we are usually around too, to give ideas and recommendations. We also have a selection of bikes and wetsuits that we are happy for you to borrow.

We have a selection of outdoor ride-on toys for small people! Parking is easy and safe, and there is space for 2 cars.

The Isle of Wight region

The Isle of Wight is the ideal choice for a holiday "away from it all", in one of the sunniest spots in Britain. The beaches and countryside are simply beautiful, and The Brew House sits right in the middle of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is a series of fabulous walking trails, and we are actually on the Bembridge Trail, one half of the famous annual "Walk the Wight". This 26-mile walk attracts over 10,000 walkers and is part of the May "Isle of Wight Walking Festival", the other walking festival being in September. We are also just a few hundred metres away from one of the best cycle paths on the Island.
As well as many, many tourist attractions, all within easy reach, the Island was home for many years to Queen Victoria, and Osborne House is an absolute must, the house and the gardens both being outstanding.
The famous Garlic Farm is just a short walk across the fields from The Brew House, and as well as an excellent farm shop, this also has one of the very best cafés on the Island - a real treat.
Another highlight for many of our guests has been Chessell Pottery Barns, where you can paint your own Bridgewater pottery, as well as many of the Pottery Café's own designs. This is also the home of the official Best Cream Tea on the Island!

The Newchurch area

Knighton is a tiny hamlet, a real rural retreat and the perfect location for walkers and cyclists at any time of the year.
The famous Garlic Farm is just a short walk across the fields from The Brew House, and as well as an excellent farm shop, this also has one of the very best cafés on the Island - a real treat.

“Beautiful cottage in lovely location!” We have just returned from a wonderful stay at The Brew House, we had such a lovely time we can't wait to return. The family who own the Brew House were ever so friendly and made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. On arrival we were greeted with a wonderful array of local foods to try including some delicious home made cakes! The cottage is very private but Ali was always on hand if we needed any advice about local attractions and where to find free parking. Ali, David & James were wonderful hosts and we felt very at home in the cottage - in fact our children didn't want to leave! The cottage really does feel like a 'home from home', extremely clean, cosy and very pretty. We stayed with our two young children and the cottage was very child friendly. The kitchen is modern and has everything you could possibly need. We found it very easy to cook and make up packed lunches every day. There is a lovely courtyard attached to the cottage which is private and a real sun trap, it was lovely for out children to be able to play outside. The cottage is in a fantastic location, lots of walks to do and very near to lots of the local attractions and beaches. We easily filled our week with things to do and still feel we didn't manage to see everything, we would love to return to the Brew House, it's such a beautiful cottage owned by a really lovely family who made every effort to make sure our stay was fantastic. Thank you Ali, David & James for making our holiday so special!

“Lovely cottage and great location” Ali and David were great. There was an array of local treats waiting to welcome us, Including a wonderful homemade lemon cake. The cottage is perfect for a young family and we settled in immediately. There were toys, DVDs, books and a number of lovely touches that really made the cottage a home from home. The cottage is in a perfect location for exploring the island, everything very accessible.

“Very nice cottage in the Countryside within easy reach of the rest of the island.” We are a family of four and we stayed at the Brewhouse for a week in late October and had a fantastic time. The cottage is nestled in the countryside in a lovely location just outside of Newchurch. It is very welcoming, clean, in excellent condition and very cosy. Everything you could think of was provided in terms of towels, bedding, cleaning products, kitchen utensils etc etc. There was also a welcome pack including a selection of local produce and a home baked Chocolate cake! The children were very impressed with that. Ali welcomed us as we arrived and nothing was too much trouble. There is plenty of info within the cottage including guide books, maps, visitors book, menus etc all providing a wealth of information about what to explore on the island. The cottage is in an ideal location from which to explore the rest of the island with most of the coastal towns within a 20 minute drive, the longest trip was to the Needles which took about 45 mins. There are pedal bikes provided for adults / older children and the islands cycle path network is literally 5 minutes cycling down the road. Something to bear in mind, the cottage is very old and the staircase to the bathroom / bedrooms is quite narrow, very steep and with low headroom. There is plenty to see and do here, there are no negatives!!

“Exceptional holiday cottage!” From the moment you arrive at this beautiful cottage on the Isle of Wight you will be captivated. Ali (the owner) gives you a very warm welcome and provides delicious home made preserves and cake for your arrival! You immediately feel very at home and soon settle into visiting the many places to see and things to do on the island. The Garlic Farm is within walking distance & well worth a visit. They also have an excellent restaurant for lunch. The island is wonderful for walking, cycling, sailing and there are many lovely quaint shops and restaurants. Looking forward to our next visit!

“A wonderful cosy family friendly holiday cottage” We arrived in a huge storm and were met by a smiling and friendly Ali. Waiting for us in the beautiful cottage was everything we needed for our 14 month daughter and ourselves, including a selection of local island produce. The cottage is perfectly situated for all attractions on the island the furthest was 40 minutes away to the needles. The bed was extremely comfortable and our daughter slept soundly in the lovely second room with many children's toy of all types. We have already recommended this cottage and the crisps family to all our family and friends and will be going back.

“Great cottage, great location, great hosts!” The Brew House is a lovely 2 bedroom cottage in the heart of the Isle of Wight countryside within easy reach of all of the islands many attractions. The owners, Ali and David are very welcoming and provide a few little extras such as milk, eggs, homemade marmalade / jam and even a delicious freshly cooked chocolate cake that was a huge hit with us all - especially our 4 year old son! The cottage is extremely well equipped with all the expected comforts of home along with a few unexpected ones - HD TV with free view and PVR, and free wi-fi to name but 2. There are books, DVD's and a selection of board games and jigsaws in case the weather is bad, and in the smaller bedroom there are a large number of toys to keep younger ones entertained which means you don't have to transport the entire contents of the kids toy chest from home to your holiday cottage! One point to note is that the stairs are fairly steep so bear that in mind though stair gates are available if required to protect young ones. Ali and David are on hand to deal with any queries that should arise or suggest places to visit, but otherwise keep out of your way and do not intrude on your holiday. We have a 4yr old son so the IOW has many places to keep kids of that age busy and entertained. A must is Blackgang Chine (the roller coaster and water slides were massive hits) and provides a full days enjoyment. The Needles is also worth a visit, have a ride on the chair lift and go for a boat ride out to the lighthouse and back. Compton Bay, Freshwater Bay and Bembridge have nice beaches that are good for swimming / paddling and sand castle building. The Garlic Farm (across the fields from the cottage) is worth a visit if for no other reason than to eat in their excellent cafe. Not the cheapest but well worth it as the food is fantastic. We had a great week on the IOW and the Brew House proved to be a great and comfortable 'home from home' and a great base for our explorations! Highly reccommended cottage and would certainly not hesitate to stay again if we return to the IOW. Thanks Ali and David!

“A wonderful, memorable honeymoon” Our holiday experience began as soon as we enquired about the property - Ali was very friendly and bent over backwards to accommodate our timings and needs. The cottage is small and very homely- perfect for a couple or family, with the twin bedroom accessible only through the main bedroom so very safe for small children. As cooks we were very impressed with the kitchen, which is well equipped and a useful size, and with the introductory hamper of delicious Isle of Wight products. The remote location and the fact that Ali and David offer free bike borrowing made it perfect for cycling and evening walks, with very little traffic and easy access to cycle trails and footpaths, which are well maintained and reasonably well signposted - maps and trail guides are provided in the cottage, along with very useful information on the many local attractions and eating places. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend the Brew House for a relaxing getaway holiday with no hassle.

“A restful break - just when we needed it.” This was our second holiday at the Brew House. Unlike our visit in 2011 we enjoyed good weather throughout our fortnight's stay, which enabled us to leave the car behind at the cottage and stretch our legs on the numerous footpaths passing nearby. The Brew House had been extensively redecorated over the winter and was even more comfortable and pleasant this year than last. Once again we received a warm welcome from Ali, James and David - generous and friendly hosts. Ali's provision of fresh produce from the vegetable garden was much appreciated. Overall, a peaceful and relaxing fortnight in this delightful part of England.

“A lovely cottage with a warm welcome set in the heart of the country” The cottage is very pretty with comfy furnishings and a very efficient log burner. We were given a warm welcome from the family and we were left a wonderful array of Island provisions, some of which were home made and all delicious. There were very thoughtful extra touches including flowers in every room. There were plenty of leaflets about places to visit and extremely helpful advice from the owners including lending all four of us(my husband, two grown up daughters and myself) bicycles. Nothing was too much trouble. With a car you can easily reach any part of the island and there is a well known Garlic Farm minutes away which is well worth a visit. If you want to eat there do reserve in advance. The Pointer Inn again in Newchurch offers excellent food but again book in advance.

“A warm and friendly welcome reflecting the whole stay” We felt like we were at home with friends. David and Ali got the balance of friendly and helpful whilst allowing for privacy just right. The cottage was very clean and cosy and full of children's toys and games as well as books and magazines for adults. Beyond the well equiped cottage, we were offered the use of all the equipment we could need on the island, from wetsuits to wellies. We would highly recommend visiting the island in general and this cottage in particular.

“Relaxing in Comfort” The Brew House was a marvellous find. We wanted some time to recharge our batteries and visit new places as we did not know the Island. Such a warm welcome and, as has been said before, what more could you want than milk and wine in the fridge together with local and home-made goodies from our hosts. Nothing is too much trouble and we so enjoyed relaxing in the very comfortable accommodation. A true home from home. The cottage is very well located as you can reach any destination and return to the calm of The Brew House. It is the best equipped self-catering we have every stayed in and we would recommend it to anyone.

“excellent - great hosts, super place (and ideal weather)” We had a wonderful time. Beautiful location and an unparalled welcome from Ali, James and David. Particularly great for our young pre-schoolers who loved running round the property and playing on the ride-on toys. Very comfortable. We really enjoyed our week.

“Ideal place from which to explore the Isle of Wight” We had the most wonderful week in the Brew House at Knighton Farm House. It is a very comfortable, well equipped house full of history and character. It is perfectly located to be near enough to Ryde for amenities (Tesco is 15 mins drive away), but set in the most beautiful countryside. As such, it is the ideal place from which to explore the Isle of Wight. The Cripps family couldn't be more helpful or kind. And their knowledge of the island is vast so they were able to point us in the right direction for lots of fascinating places. The Isle of Wight is perfect for families with young kids: beaches (we enjoyed Ventnor), Castles (Carrisbrook was a hit), dinosaur footprints, steam railways, and much more besides. Don't miss out on a wonderful holiday!
