Pet-friendly summary
Rosemary is one of the glamping units at Buttercup Barn Retreats, near Wootton Bridge on the Isle of Wight, and it works best as a quiet base for a short break with a small dog. It is compact and set in peaceful grounds, with a hot tub and parking right by the unit, which takes most of the awkwardness out of arriving with a dog and luggage in one trip.
The pet terms are short: one dog per booking. Nothing is published about a fee, a size limit or restricted breeds, so if you are travelling with a large dog it is worth settling that with the owners before you book rather than assuming. Anyone travelling with two dogs will need a different unit.
The dog-related feedback is limited, but it is consistent about what the place is for: the quiet is the selling point. Owners of small dogs have found the setting calm and the position handy for getting around the island, with easy parking at the door.
Two honest caveats. The unit is small, and guests have said they would want more space on a longer stay, which is worth weighing if your dog needs somewhere to settle out of the way. Cleanliness has also drawn a serious complaint: dog hair and a nail clipping left on the floor, along with thick dust and unwashed crockery. That sits against several stays that praised the place, but for anyone whose dog sheds - or anyone who would rather not arrive after a dog they have never met - it is the thing to check on arrival and raise straight away.
Rosemary suits couples with one small, settled dog who want a short, low-effort island break with a hot tub, rather than a base for a week.
