We enjoyed our stay. Not to far from Cowes Centre. Room was very good , only the bathroom was tiny, but it served its purpose.

The Pod was good for a short stay, but probably best for singles not couples. The water coming out of the shower into the bathroom area would be stopped by having a lip or something.
Clean, well presented, good location, well priced though so would stay again

The lovely girls at reception. Great pool which we swam in every day. The other guests thought we were crazy I think. It was refreshing. Very clean room and was wrapped there was a microwave in there.
Was a nice place, bed was reasonably comfortable. We had a downstairs room which meant I could hear people walking around upstairs.They were quite noisey with their footsteps. Maybe a rug or carpet to soften the noise of footsteps. Easy checkin, sent us a text with details and automatically allowed for late check in which was lovely. Easy to checkout with key drop off as well.
Excellent 4 day stay ! Very friendly and accommodating staff. Great location with a short distance to drive to the shops. Highly recommend with stay again !
We loved the layout of the apartment we stayed in and the view from the balcony was amazing. We were greeted by the owner when we arrived and she was very friendly and helpful. The location was quiet and the apartment had everything you needed. Would definitely stay there again.

Only I should have up graded from studio to one bed appartment but grounds,pool and area very quiet
I wanted a nice quiet holiday where I could concentrate on writing, and this property delivered. It was a short walk to a quiet beach (a "looking at the ocean beach" as opposed to a swimming beach I think) and a short drive to the shops. The room was large, neat and well appointed.
They had a big pool and ship-themed play area thing off to one side in the central area, but I didn't use either so can't comment on that.
+ We had one of their small rooms with a double bed. The price was great, it's an easy walk to a nice beach, and the staff was friendly.
- The office hours are ~9-5 Mon-Sat so you have to call them to get questions answered, they never cleaned the room or replaced the towels, bedding, or coffee/tea (even after 4 nights), and it's not easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, etc. in Cowes.
But we think the + outweigh the - and would consider staying there again.
It was very quiet and the pool was lovely.
Maybe some cleaning cloths would be handy
We were given the wrong check in time. Were told 4 when it was 3.

Everything was great, The Staff was amazing, really friendly and very patient with me and my father.
However, the wet room bathroom leaves standing water after a shower. it wouldn't be an issue if it didn't spread out to the rest of the bathroom. wet socks are never fun. The back door of the room, either 10 or 9 (can't remember which one) doesn't seem to lock, however, this wasn't so much of an issue as the back area was closed off. But aside from that I would have given 5 stars.
I loved the fact that my TV came with a chrome cast. (named "Back garden"?) although, it seems it's not consistent with all the rooms. As a "nice to have", If I could I would like to request USB sockets for charging devices. We hadn't brought the plug adaptors so we used the USB socket on the back of the TV which had to stay on to charge phones etc.
The rest of the stay was great. I wanted to give 5 stars as I was pretty happy with it overall, had a great time and would come again! Thank you very much!
Bathroom was TINY, can’t even fall over in it. The tv was not smart (ie can’t stream) it was a glorified motel with a bit of lipstick to make it look nicer. Photos on expedite were very strategically placed with nice angles!
One night stay in a very clean and modern apartment. Was very easy to stay in and cook our own meal one night with good selection of cooking appliances and utensils. Be aware you maybe required to lift your baggage up stairs if situated in an upper apartment like we were. I’m certain staff will assist if asked though.
The property we see in the advertisement is not the ones we received. We see the apartments like building in the photos, but we got like cabin rooms instead, was very uncomfortable.
No daily housekeeping was there. We were there for 3 nights and no cleaning was done during the time period.
