Thank you for accommodating a split week allowing us a short break on the Island and in between work

Thank you for accommodating a split week allowing us a short break on the Island and in between work commitments, very flexible. Our stay was more than comfortable, lovely little cottage that seemed bigger on the inside than it looked from the outside. Lovely big kitchen.

Stayed here for a week. Got back today!! The garden is a magical dreamland!! We watched red squirrels every night play in the big oaks over our heads. Ate BBQ and drank local beer. Would absolutely recommend this property. Added bonus of air conditioning!!!! Which we didnt see advertised. Go here its lush

Fine living

Excellent accom. too big for us really .You could easily get 2 couples and their dogs in there.It is very handy for Shanklin beach,We basically lived in the conservatory which was excellent .We had several very hot days but the air conditioning is the best we have ever had outside of America

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the conservatory and that the air conditioning kept you cool during the hot days. It sounds like the property worked well, even if it was a bit large for your group!

Long Stay

Lovely old cottage close to Shanklin, We stayed for 6 weeks and it felt like home. Peaceful and quiet, surrounded by trees. Four minute drive to Shanklin town centre and the Old Village. Broadband could be stronger, there were dead areas in the cottage and same with cell phone
