The house was amzing! Plenty of space for a very large extended family stay. The outdoor/indoor with fireplace area was beautiful. Spa clean and easy to use. Kitchen had everything needed. Loved the pair of white ducks that were always around. We had a great time. Thanks
The property well and truly catered for a large family group celebration. Everyone had privacy and room to spread out for down time. The outdoor fire, bar area and spa was a huge hit. The host communicated promptly and was flexible with my requests which was greatly appreciated.
We had a fantastic stay. The property had plenty of space and is in a short drive to Cowes and the GP circuit which was beneficial for us. We would definitely stay again!
We had a very relaxing stay. Kids loved the pool & trampoline & watching the wildlife around the lake. Location was great - only a couple of minutes from Cowes.
Great house set up for our group of family and friends. Was clean and what it showed. Sam the property manager was wonderful to deal with! Great place and stay , we will all be back!!!
Perfect resort style home for one or more families or group of friends. Comfortable beds. Activities to keep our teens entertained the whole time and the parents. Great home for entertaining. My favourite spot was sitting in the room by the lake in front of the fire, ideal place to relax. Highly recommend.
Nice and Roomy , Good zones to chill out if you want some privacy , younger children loved the fishing as the adults taught them ,great secure section for dogs to roam around , nice relaxed atmosphere well priced for what the owners are offering .
Great location, lots of space, and more than enough beds. Super clean, an amazing spot for fur babies, maximum relaxation and people that like to fish.
The property was clean and spacious. Perfect for our family of 19 to celebrate Dad's 80th birthday.Plenty of activities to do, great spaces for relaxing, eating and cooking.Close proximity to the town centre. Beautiful home and beautiful place.Thank you
Everything was amazing. Our entire group enjoyed which includes children and adults all ages and so did our dogs.
Will definitely revisit.
Thanks Sam and Andy!
MR1 is a beautiful, spacious property in a serene setting. Five siblings and their spouses spent an enjoyable and relaxing family time from Friday to Monday at this property.
A few improvements to some of the amenities could make the customer experience even greater.
We stayed in this property a year ago before my sister died. We returned to mark her 1st year anniversary. It is beautiful and was just what our family needed. The whole process is easy and I highly recommend this property. Our 2 year old grandson adores playing in the yard, partiuclarly the trampoline and cubby house. Having breakfast in the sun room overlooking the pond is heaven.
