Perfect getaway

Lovely house with lots to do, we ended up not even leaving the house some days as the kids just wanted to play tennis or jump in the pool! Very relaxing setting, will hopefully return soon. Thanks

A Gem of a Home!

Homely, spacious, lots to do (even in the rain and without the use of pool). Has a lovely feel. Fully realise pets are allowed and a couple of us got 'itchy' in the living room, but that's our fault as we knew the house accepted pets. We've stayed in LOADS of places Isle of Wight and this is right up there with the best!

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth and Barry Holden

We are a large family, with four children, all of whom have enjoyed many holidays here, often adding in nieces and nephews or other familes. All come back with us year after year.

Why they chose this property

Its wide hall and spacious gardens first made us look at the house seriously, when we were after somewhere to accommodate our immediate family plus an equal number of guests to enjoy easy, active holidays. We quickly fell for the house and its setting. Its country feel, many amenities and proximity to ferry, shops and restaurants, sealed it for us.
We have refurbished it over the years as a home from home, sympathetic to its Arts and Crafts design, keeping it airy and light. The house is our escape - warm and cosy in winter around the fire or kitchen table. It suits a small crew or large crowd over Christmas or New Year, perhaps over a roast meal, a jigsaw or a game of Scrabble. In summer, with all doors open all the time, a loud lively family atmosphere prevails, with laughter coming in from the pool, apples and plums being picked, and most meals taken outside.
