Location was perfect, peaceful and relaxing. The apartment was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable, with everything we needed for a great stay.Our host Ally was incredibly helpful and welcoming and making sure we felt right at home. She not only bought us the cheaper ferry tickets but also managed to change the timings of our trip at a very short notice on our request.she also provided us with a variety of breakfast items.It really made a difference to our trip.We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway on the Isle of Wight!

About the host

Hosted by Ally McCabe

Host profile image
Ex primary school teacher.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the Isle of Wight when I used to come every year with one of my schools. We still meet up when they come over.

What makes this property unique

Sunny patio garden, close to the beach and high street but in a quiet area. Discounted ferry, usually at least 25% off standard car ferry price with Wightlink depending on time of year and which service used. Parking at the property. Please note that I live in the main house and a family member lives in the flat over my kitchen. He is mostly out at work but needs access through the patio garden.
