Enchanted Manor

The room was magical. The breakfast was amazing! And Peta (the owner/host) was exceptional. We will be back again!!!

This was not the sort of place I would normally stay. I know the isle of wight well and had passed it many times in its previous incarnation as a themed hotel We are also not vegetarian I was enticed by the hotel's position; the rooms; the sea views and the mentioned wildlife! What we got was a very special place with such warm hosts who accepted you as you were and what you brought to the party We had great advice re the nearby off the grid beaches, we loved the nearby Castlehaven cafe for eating. The badgers came to play and the breakfasts were very unusual but lovely and thoughtfully presented The sun stayed out for the whole of the bank holiday weekend which was icing on the cake! Very special

A magical, healing retreat – more family than business Our stay at The Enchanted Manor was simply incredible. This family-run retreat feels more family-centred than business-like, and that’s exactly what makes it so special. We came needing rest and healing — and left feeling lighter, restored, and inspired. Peta and her family were warm, wise, and wonderful hosts. We enjoyed some truly meaningful, personal conversations that offered fresh ways to handle life’s stresses — as well as plenty of good laughs. Yet we were always left to our own space and could come and go as we pleased. We were attending the nearby festival, returning as late as 3am, and it was never an issue. The whole place remained peaceful and quiet, with guests naturally respectful of the tranquil atmosphere. Breakfasts were delicious, relaxed, and made unforgettable by the sight of red squirrels feeding just outside the window. Our suite was spacious, with two bathrooms, a lounge, and the most comfortable bed we’ve ever slept in (confirmed by our sleep watches!). Peta’s niece was a delight — encouraging us to try a wide range of teas and coffees at no extra charge — and Kevin was wonderful to chat with. Every guest was made to feel welcome, whether they preferred to keep to themselves or engage in heartfelt conversations. No one felt like “just another booking.” Peta’s vision of creating something magical for guests has truly come to life. It’s a labour of love, and while it may not make the biggest profits in today’s economy, the joy, peace, and renewal it brings to people is priceless. We’d return in a heartbeat — and we’d happily pay double for the level of soul-soothing care and beauty we experienced here. Sarah & Phil ❤️

We stayed here over the Easter weekend and wow what an idyllic place and part of the island. It was very easy to get to and not too long a drive from Fishbourne. We arrived and parked in the car park with plenty of space to access the manor. We met Peta at the door and her aura was so calm and welcoming. She actually takes out time to greet and welcome you, she was very kind In explaining the Manor, services, rooms and local offerings. She took us on a delightful tour of the Manor and showed us our room which had a combined bathroom with a bath and shower. Unfortunately I was suffering from bad health and we enquired about changing our room and Peta was so kind in understanding and accommodating us. She offered us the enchantment room, which had a separate washroom and a lounge area. Wow, such luxury the rooms are spacious and in keeping with the enchantment atmosphere. There was an upgrade charge which I fully understood and was delighted to pay for them to accommodate our budget. The rooms are cleaned and topped up daily with filtered water and milk if needed. We had the pleasure of meeting Kevin, Alex the host who loves singing and Montana the delightful chef. This is a family owned recently purchased venture and will no doubt be improved and enhanced with the bright ideas that they have. Regrettably the property had been neglected by the previous owners not that one would be able to spot that. The name and themes are all in keeping with the Manor name. Peta was very well informed and a great calming personality she told us about the red squirrels and we were able to see several over our stay. The highlight was being able to see the badgers that would visit every evening around 8.30 each day. What a splendour to see up to three of them visiting in one day and enjoy the nuts that were put out for them. I have attached photos of the things that we enjoyed. There is a dvd room for those that are interested and a large breakfast room. I understand that they are thinking of offering meals in the near future, I am sure that they can only improve and expand the business into new offerings and I wish them all the best.

This is a fantastic bed and breakfast retreat. The surroundings are amazing, the trees and plants, the wildlife with squirrels and badgers at your door, restful garden area, the lovely little village it is set in, the dark skies and closeness to the sea, beautiful coast and scenery help you just relax. So peaceful. It’s also close to so many areas you want to visit on the Island. But what makes it really special is the lovely family who run it. Peta, Kevin, Alex and Montana really care that you have the best experience possible. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, ours was a suite, with everything you need. The food and service are exceptional. Absolutely delicious breakfasts ( we worked our way through all the choices and had our favourites twice!) As others have said, it’s exemplary and other establishments could really learn from the way things are done here. We will return Thank you

We had a great 2 night stay with Peta Alex and Montana. The room was fantastic with a very comfortable four poster bed, a separate sitting area and a bath and shower. The welcome from PETA was lovely. We felt right at home. Breakfast quality was first rate with the scrambled egg option excellent.It was great to see the red squirrels whilst we enjoyed our breakfast. The house decor was fascinating and contributes to the enchantment of the manor . Perfectly placed to visit everywhere on the island but quiet enough to enjoy walks along secluded footpaths. Excellent place
