We enjoyed our stay: lots of room for 3 families, loved the outdoor spa and fantastic location close to the beach. A little dissapointed the gas log fire heater was out of order on arrival but overall we had a great stay.
We had a wonderful stay, 4 families, 8 adults and 6 kids! Plenty of space for everyone! Close to the beach and main strip! Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for having us!
Our family enjoyed the layout of this property and loved the spa.
The upstairs accommodation was popular with the children and we all enjoyed the outdoor space.
A great location as the beach is just around the corner and Cowes in easy walking distance.
The only negative was the lack of wine and champagne glasses!

We are so pleased that you and your family had such a wonderful stay Ian, and that you all enjoyed the home and outdoor space, loved the spa and found the location to be great. We are surprised and disappointed that there weren't wine and champagne glasses, for you to celebrate such a momentous occasion, but we'll speak to the owners and address that immediately. It was a pleasure to have you stay with us and we hope to see you again soon. Andrew
Spa was great, linen not supplied, except as extra,30 per bed was a bit expensive considering cost of stay, all else good, glimpse of water from upstairs only, didn't use fireplace, cheers and thanks, apologies for fence. Graham
