Great location, good facilities

We enjoyed our stay, good facilities & central location, can walk to beach & shops. Due to peak season we couldn't check in until 4pm. Appreciated the supplied dog blankets! Outdoor area is great. The decking, spa & floorboards need some maintenance/updating in parts though though

Wonderful stay

This place was amazing. The hot tub was on and ready to go when we arrived. My family and I enjoyed out stay and the information provided about local places to eat and things to do. The house is beautiful and there was plenty of room for us. Will certainly be back again.

The Deck is awesome!

Great location, walk to everything on Cowes. The spaces were ideal for our group, with both the spa, bar and outdoor entertaining areas getting a solid workout. The host was easy to deal with and check in was easy. Do make sure you recycle according to the notice in the cork board in the kitchen. Everything was great, and we would stay here again.

Family getaway to celebrate a 70th

I had checked day before about check-in and advised I’d receive details 30mins prior to check-in time. I did not receive this and had to contact. Apparently a glitch in the software not telling the manager we were coming. On arrival the house hadn’t been cleaned from previous people and we had to wait 1 1/2 hrs - which was ok but not expected- we were offered an extra night, however couldn’t take it but got a late checkout. Then no hot water and spa was cold so had to contact again. Very accommodating manager. The house is in a prime location and outdoor area amazing for a big group, however all very tired and in need of maintenance to look like the photos advertised. Towels and linen also could be upgraded for the price. A little disappointed however had a lovely time in the outdoor space.

Unsure about the spa…

The owner/ host of this house is fantastic! He is quick to respond and very kind. However, the main issue we had with this place was the spa. Majority of our group left with rashes/ pimples on our bodies. The cleaner for this property is very unprofessional, lacks care and does not answer the phone when you try to call her.
