Lovely place in a beautiful location. That was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Including the electric charging for car just behind the accomodation. Hope to return again in the future.
Great location, quiet , wonderful views. Very comfortable accommodation with all mod cons. Ample parking. Thanks to Marina for all communications -excellent service. Would hope to revisit next year .
Bungalow was spotlessly clean, decorated nicely and had everything you need for self catering. Beds were very comfortable.Location is super with countryside views and yet nearby access to beach.We would certainly book again.
The property is in a lovely location, within easy reach of Yarmouth and The Needles.Marina is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this property.
Really enjoyed our stay but our party size was reduced by one and we had to leave one day early due to a family issue. One improvement would be to include bed linen and towels. Thanks.
Our stay at this bungalow was simply outstanding. It was clean and comfortable. It was offering a beautiful view and provided a perfect escape from the everyday hustle.

So very pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your review. It is a special place.
We were delighted to stay in this chalet. It was clean and well equipped. Powerful shower and a comfortable bed. Situated in a quiet part of the park, with lovely views. We would definitely return to this chalet if it is available when we return to the Isle.
Bungalow is in a great area for walking, with views of the Needles and sunsets from the back. Well equipped - even has an air fryer. We found it a comfortable place to relax after a day out and about.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for leaving the bungalow so beautifully clean and tidy. Hope to see you back again one day.
A lovely Easter break, the property was exactly as described and perfect for me and my daughter. The site has a crazy golf and playground and lots of space for kids to play. The views were great and we would stay again.
Property was clean on arrival, check in was easy. Property is located in the country side, on the cliff looking out over a beautiful bay (albeit view from property is inland). Beautiful sunsets from site, and dark skies for star gazers. Generally located on the quieter side of the island
We enjoyed our holiday only downside it was a bit remote and had to use the car to go anywhere. The brochure said it was within walking distance to the beach but that wasn’t possible with towels , buckets and spades and picnic

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. The bungalow is normally within walking distance of the beach but unfortunately the steps going down to the beach from the slip way, were damaged and we are awaiting the council to replace them, hopefully will be very soon. You can go down the actual cliff but difficult whilst carrying beach stuff! Yes, I appreciate that you do need a car to visit all the islands attractions, luckily, being an island, nothing is too far away. Although many guests love to just stay in West Wight and enjoy the stunning scenery. I hope you will come back again and enjoy all our beautiful island has to offer. With best wishes
An amazing property with absolutely everything you could possibly need, a complete home from home experience. It was in a perfect location for coastal walks, secluded beaches and evening sunsets. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Marina for this wonderful experience.

You are very welcome. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay. I know I’m biased but it really is a beautiful island.
We were very pleased with our stay. Though the property is part of the Linstone Chine resort it is actually a few hundred yards from the main resort area and hence offers more privacy and better views. It was very clean and perfect for our requirements. The location is perfect with great walks literally from the doorstep. We used the bus service rather than the car as you can get to anywhere on the island via Newport.
The position of the bungalow on the Wight coast path and certainly the fine dry weather made our trip perfect for the task of reccying walks in the area. Thank you
Home from home highly recommend accommodation.. Host go out their way to ensure a comfortable stay. Accommodation is ideal with breath takings views/scenery, there are a couple of excellent costal walks on the doorstep. Location has easy access for many amenities and excellent restaurants. Recommendation Horse and Groom approx 5 miles on the the A3054
Excellent communication from the host you will not be disappointed with this accommodation.

Overall good experience
Brilliant serene location - especially if you are going there through Yarmouth Ferry. Value for money considering it's size, although general hygiene at the property could be improved. Host was excellent in prompt communication.
Please note, the online listing for sea at 50 meters away could be mis-leading - as most of the travellers would expect a beach with access which is not true.

Sorry to hear you considered the general hygiene of the property lacking, as I do the cleaning myself and always make sure that every surface is thoroughly cleaned and of course disinfected, to make Covid safe. I have never had any complaints regarding lack of cleanliness, in fact quite the opposite, most guests say how clean it is.
Clean, comfortable, well equipped, no screaming children or barking dogs.. Good views when it was not raining or foggy. Poor lighting in the seating area- had to use torches to read by and bathroom could do with a shaving mirror
Unlikely to return as poor approach road bad for car suspension and old bones

Thank you for your feedback, it’s appreciated. The light in the lounge area was on a dimmer switch, we have now replaced that to make it brighter. I’m sorry you found the speed humps in the road uncomfortable but I’m afraid they are necessary. The road has recently been completely relaid, as the potholes in the old road, were becoming impassable. The road is also used by walkers, many with children and so for safety’s sake, the speed of vehicles needs to be kept at a safe level. I do hope it didn’t affect the enjoyment of your stay too much. Once again, thank you for your comments.
