A wonderful Spring Holiday

We spent a delightful 2 weeks at The Moorings in St Helens. We loved staying in this most comfortable, welcoming home. Its location beside The Duver and Bembridge Harbour is just perfect for us. This well equipped property had everything we needed for our vacation and we look forward to returning hopefully later this year!

Another wonderful stay!

This was our second visit to The Moorings and undoubtedly will visit again! For us, the house is located in the perfect spot on the island, we love being so close to the Duver and St Helens beach. The house is so homely, clean, well furnished and cosy. We had a great week out and about all over the island and really appreciated coming back to our comfortable home.

Perfect Week!

We had a perfect week staying at The Moorings in St Helens! The Moorings was everything we wanted from a holiday home: clean, comfortable and homely. The enclosed back garden was perfect for our 2 dachshunds which made a big difference to our holiday, peace of mind is very important to us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and really appreciated the location of the house just a short walk to the Duver and the beach.

Lovely place, great location

We stayed with our three teenage kids and found the place lovely. Very spacious downstairs with a gorgeous conservatory. Nice bedrooms and only (very) small downside was the king size zip & link bed was a little uncomfortable but not enough to put a downer on anything. Island Homes were very easy to get hold of and very helpful when needed - would happily book with them again.

Great location

Our third visit and we would definitely book again, so that speaks volumes. We love the village feel of St Helens and the location and facilities of The Moorings. Spacious property - plenty of room for 6. Residential neighbours either side so it feels very homely. Future visitors will not be disappointed.

A Winter Break

Another very enjoyable stay at The Moorings, thank you. Clean, warm, comfortable and cosy. The new cooker was easy to use, the shower, hot and strong, all the rooms warm and cosy, the conservatory particularly so in the afternoon. A five minute walk to the pub, a bit more to the shore and overall a great location to get out and about on the island. Bembridge, a picturesque 20 minute walk around the bay, for Fish shop, bakery, farm and good coffee shops. Ryde, an interesting bus ride via Seaview, plenty of shops, lovely promenade with great views across to Portsmouth and recommended, The Chocolate Apothecary and Moncton Arts for good coffee and cake. Thanks again, for a great stay.

A lovely house for a week in the Isle of Wight

This was our first trip to the Isle of Wight. The house is spacious and well equipped. I liked the general decor of dark blue walls with white/cream ceilings. There is a small garden at the back which is sheltered and catches the sunlight during most of the day. A nice touch was having a bottle of wine and a pack of coffee on arrival. The box of multiple games were appreciated by the children. A small point - note that the side gate does not lock properly. Parking on the street could be difficult, but there was a free car park at the top of the road next to the green. St Helens is quite a small place, which we appreciated. It has a local shop across the green with a good local pub serving food along the same road. There is a lovely traditional book shop and a cafe next door on the house side of the green. The green is good for playing ball games and flying a kite!

A comfortable, well positioned house, good for families with children and dogs.

A well positioned house round the corner from St. Helen's village green, old bookshop, village shop and good pub. A five miinute walk downhill to the Duver and again to St Helen's bay and Baywatch cafe. The house itself was well planned and nicely furnished. In our case plenty of space for toddler, baby and dogs. The narrow stairs posed a bit of a problem for the elderly in our party who would have benefitted from a handrail on the wall side. There did not appear to be an extractor fan above cooker. Parkng outside the house is not guaranteed, some days better than others, but certainly a house we would like to book again.

Family staycation!

We had an amazing weeks holiday staying in this property. It is a bright, airy and stylish house. We’ll equipped and homely. A great location too. We were very lucky with the weather so actually didn’t need to venture very far. The beach, a few cafes and a pub more or less on your door step. We will be back.

Opened the front door and was thrilled straight away. Conservatory was a real bonus to relax in. Comfortable beds. Our stay was during the quieter month of May so we were able to park right outside every day.

Great House, Great Location

Had a wonderful Easter week at the Moorings, the house is perfect for a family of 4 and a dog, plenty of space, very clean, tastefully decorated and very well equipped. Parking was a slight concern but turned out to be fine. Only gripe is with Island Holiday Homes, not the owners - We left our dog in for an hour or so while we went to a restaurant on our last day. Whilst on the way back to the house, received a call from Island Holiday Homes stating that they had a complaint form a neighbour that our dog was barking incessantly for hours on end and that we should have not left our dog unattended in the premises. This is at odds with the guidance provided with the owners that clearly state that dogs can be left unattended so long as they are kept in the cool of the dining room and not allowed access to the rest of the house, which we adhered to - Clearly Island Holiday Homes need to work closer with the owner so as not to contradict guidance. as a result we felt uncomfortable staying at the house and left earlier than planned resulting in increased ferry costs. It is a shame that such a perfect week was tainted at the end of the stay, but we would heartily recommend the house to anyone We love St Helens and Bembridge and the Moorings will be our first choice when we next visit!
Response from VrboOwner on 17 May 2022
We apologise if you were offended by our call, however we were acting on behalf of the owner after receiving a call to advise the dog appeared to be in distress. Both ourselves and the owner are thrilled you love the property and the area and we would love to welcome you back again to this lovely property again in the future.

Glad We Came Back!

We stayed here just before the pandemic in February 2020 and always planned to return as we were so impressed. The house was even better this time - very tastefully redecorated (gave me some ideas on interior design!) and I especially loved the variety of quirky lampshades throughout. We visit the Island often to visit family and the Moorings will definitely be our second home. Big thanks to Island Holiday Homes for their excellent customer care - we had to reschedule our visit from February due to the storms, and this was done sympathetically, efficiently and at very little cost - I was so impressed with the service provided

Cosy Winter Stay

The house was really clean and nicely decorated, with good wifi and some board games in the conservatory. Having a living room, large kitchen diner and also a conservatory meant there was plenty of space to find a quiet corner, or spend time together. We felt very comfortable there. The house itself and the road it was on were quiet (the whole island was very quiet at that time of year.) We had a very nice walk to the nearest beach, fish and chips from the mobile van that visited the green and we enjoyed looking in the second hand bookshop around the corner. The nearby village shop was useful for bits and pieces that we needed.

A fabulous family home in a great location!

We had a fabulous time staying The Moorings back in August. It really was like being home from home! The Moorings is a very well quipped house that has a homely feel with lots of comfort. The surroundings were outstanding and it’s very well located for exploring. We even made friends with the neighbours! It was my first time on the Island and I can honestly say I’m smitten! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

A wonderful chilled stay in St Helens

The Moorings was a fantastic house and St Helens provided an excellent base for our adventures on the island. We stayed at the house with 2 small boys and the bunk room worked well for them as did the conservatory for a large play space. We also brought two dogs and the set up was great for them and the Duver being just down the road was perfect for walks. It was also really good to have a dog friendly beach to use at St Helens so they could cool down in the hot weather. The house is beautifully decorated. Only slight negative was that the bathroom was a little basic and with 4 adults using it got quite tired after a few days. The shower was powerful but the controls were tricky to use with wet hands. We were blessed with warm weather during our stay and missed having a BBQ to use in the lovely garden. I tried to cook steaks etc in the kitchen on the hob and the smoke alarm kept going off every few seconds as its so close to the kitchen, so maybe that's a small improvement that could be made. Other than that, we loved it and had a really happy time there.

A wonderful family retreat

The house was clean, thoughtfully decorated, well appointed and very comfortable. The kids and grownups all enjoyed it and felt very at home. There’s a great pub about 5 mins walk away and the beach can be access via the coastal path at the bottom of the hill. We’d stay here again.

Beautiful house in great location

A beautiful and very well looked after house that was perfect for our holiday. Everything was of great quality, from the furniture to the crockery. The extra touches such as a dishwasher and washing machine made travelling with a young toddler so much easier and the conservatory became our favourite sun spot. Would love to come back.
