Another great stay

My 8th stay here, great as always. Was surprised how cool the upstairs and the front room stayed in the heat, which was really helpful

Great location

Great property for accommodating 4 adults and 3 dogs, as lots of space downstairs. Only a short walk to the beach, which we enjoyed every evening to walk our dogs. Beds were very comfortable and a bonus of having 2 showers/toilets. All in all, had a lovely stay and would definitely return. Just one small suggestion, a hairdryer would be a useful addition for guests.

Brooks Close

The house at Brooks Close is perfect for what i need, great with a couple of dogs as i take my own covers for everything. The downstairs wet room works really well when you've been for a swim in the sea and the kitchen has everything needed if I wanted to eat at home. Location wise it couldn't be better, 3 minute walk to the beach and about the same to the local shop. Whilst the house is a little tired, it works well for me and the price reflects its state.

A great place to stay

Brooks Close is a great place to stay in Bembridge. The house is 2 mins from the beach, its dog friendly and is well set up to support dogs enjoying the beach. The beds all have good mattresses on then so are comfortable. The conservatory is great for most of the time, but the living room stays wonderfully cool in hot weather.

Lovely Stay

Property has almost all you need for a comfy holiday. Particularly liked the extra shower/loo facilities. Great location for walks on Bembridge beaches. Would prefer not to bring our own linen & towels. Needs a smart tv. Could live without the pond.

Another fantastic stay at brooks close

Had the most wonderful family holiday at brooks close. Everything you need for a perfect relaxing break. The house well equipped, clean and tidy. This is brilliant value for money and in superb location. We loved walking down to the beach and going swimming if tide in or crabbing at low tide. Cooked some nice meals in the large kitchen . Enjoyed relaxing in garden. Plenty of room for children to have their own space on holiday too. Can't wait to book again.

Property is in need of updating. Single beds not appropriate for elderly people they are to low to the floor. Kitchen ceiling appears to be in need of urgent attention. Crockery & glasses not clean. Still enjoyed our time at this location.

Bembridge House

The house is way too out dated. Needs a complete modernisation. Single beds way too low and uncomfortable. Crockery and cutlery not upto a good standard. Blind in smaller bedroom held up with a peg, not good enough!!! Washing machine bearings have gone so noisey

Disappointed

The location of the house was OK in a quiet cul-de-sac but the inside of the house and furnishings really needed a lot of upgrading. It was nice to have all the facilities of a modern home and that did make life easier. However, having mainly no carpets, just light rugs on the floorboards is a terrible hazard, especially to older people or children, as these rugs had nothing to prevent them from slipping. Floorboards downstairs and paintwork everywhere were definitely in need of attention - very scuffed and the double duvet looked as though it had never been washed. Altogether not good value for money. Took the guilt off an otherwise lovely short break.

Perfect holiday home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house is within ten minutes walk of the sea, there is a decent supermarket over the road.for any shopping and a pub a short walk away. We had occasion to contact Island Holiday Homes about a minor problem and they were extremely helpful. We booked for next year before we left.

Excellent location but needs some TLC

This property is in an excellent location within the lovely village of Bembridge. Walking distance to two beaches, one with rock pools and one more sandy. Both with cafes for drinks and ice cream. The property is a good size and has one parking space and a grassy area to the side of the house which seems to be another option. The property itself wasn't as clean as I would have expected it to be given that we are still within the pandemic. Unfortunately, there were also no cleaning materials left to assist with this apart from a sanitiser spray. We were in the property for two weeks so purchased our own cleaning materials to clean the bath, sinks etc. A hoover was available but smelt horrific when used so we gave up. There was no broom so we had to use the dustpan. Along the same lines the kitchen was ill equipped for a family of 3 let alone if there were more of you staying. The tiny frying pans could barely hold one chicken breast so when trying to cook we ended up using two pans. Perhaps they aren't expecting people to cook when on holiday but we wanted to and found it very difficult. Take your own equipment if you like to cook. No measuring jug, no measuring spoons, scales etc. It needs repairs, a lick of paint, floorboards repaired, the hole in the kickboard repaired, the garden needs to be cut back and grass cut before people stay. We lost toy cars in the grass it was that long. We had to cut back the plants so we could use the washing line. The airer is broken so trying to dry clothes on a wet day is almost impossible (but you can use doors, chairs etc as we had to). Lots of the plug sockets don't work or are unreliable. The door doesn't automatically lock so if you close the door you must also lock it with the key. If not someone can open it from outside. You have to lock it from inside the house. With only one key if someone goes out and you stay at home you have to make sure you are listening out to let them in as otherwise you have to get them to lock you in the house so they can take the key which is a fire risk. I appreciate that they don't want to be spending money on keys and we actually thought the key safe was a really good idea but in practice we found it problematic. It would be useful to have two keys or have the door lock when closing. While on holiday we called the people we rented through and they were very helpful and sent someone over quickly. We got new scissors and a blind was repaired (not completely its still held together with a peg) but initially it was completely broken so I guess that's a win. If you can get this at a reasonable price per week and don't expect too much than it’s a great find as I'm sure some of these items will be resolved.

Property in great location, but sadly needs some tlc

The house is in a great location & has a spacious living area for the 4 of us staying. The house needs lots of small repairs, and would benefit from a lick of paint in all rooms... a small amount of time & money would make this property perfect Some examples are : the skirting falling off in bathroom, mould on shower curtains, mould in washing machine, kitchen blind filthy, had the inconvenience of having to run upstairs to turn boiler on and off every time we wanted hot water for the sink.

Christmas 2019

4 Brooks Close is in an excellent location. We have visited it before and have found the accommodation basic but satisfactory. This time we found the property neglected and unwelcoming- junk mail and dirty laundry were piled in the hallway. Despite being a Christmas visit - the Christmas tree was still in its box! The house was stale as if it hadn’t been aired in some time. As repeat customers we were disappointed.

perfect holiday accomadtion for family, brilliant holiday, highly recommended

This was our first time at 4 Brooks close and we intend to return again. a true holiday getaway with plenty of space for family to relax and have fun. the garden was a great to sunbath in or to play in. Little pond and beautiful established trees and plants in flower to enjoy. Barbeque and seating provided in garden too. This was a true holiday home from home with a few games and books and table tennis set for the family to enjoy. bedrooms were great my little lad particulary enjoyed it in the loft room. conservatory was great, kitchen well equipped so able to cook a full meal no problem at all. down stairs shower was great and bath upstairs perfect for a nice relax. Location was great as we love to go crabbing on bembridge beach and look at the RNLI boathouse. Crab and lobster pub great for a meal isle of wight has so many attractions and beautiful beaches its never a dull moment. the Jay miller circus at wootonbridge was an amazing family night out. great holiday cottage

Could Do Better

Excellent location. Could we suggest the owners put up a blind to cover the large window in the downstairs shower room. The house could do with a little TLC and a good clean. The kitchen was really well equipped. The mattresses and pillows need replacing and we were disappointed to find after booking that towels and bedding were not provided. This is not to say that, despite the above, that we did not enjoy spending time in the house.
