A lovely caravan in a superb location, only a few minutes walk from the beach. The caravan was very well privisioned with everything we needed for our stay, and our host was really lovely, telling us about the local wildlife and lots of places we could visit whilst on the Isle of Wight.

Great pictures! So pleased you had a super time on the Island and enjoyed the caravan. Thanks for your fantastic review!
What a great holiday we had. Paws a While is the best equipped holiday accommodation I’ve ever stayed in and the treats Sharon provided were lovely. Great views from the caravan and some great wildlife to see, too. We will be back!

We had a great week - the caravan is in a super position with a lovely sea view. It is very well equipped, spotlessly clean and a welcome pack of milk, cakes and other delicious treats was included. Our host was very responsive and friendly. Highly recommended.

Excellent host, we had a lovely time highly recommend, nice welcome pack for the family and the dogs, toys,treats for them and snacks and tea for us we will sure be visiting isle of white again and staying with paws a while . Thank for a great time
The property was superb. A welcome pack was a nice touch. The view was amazing, watching boats come and go kept us amused for ages. The caravan was spotless, every utensil available and very comfortable. Definitely worth going back and being dog friendly is a bonus.
As it shows on the picture ,beautiful sea view, mesmerising every time, liads of dog walk areas, poo bins for us responsive dog walkers with poo bags, amazingly equiped holiday home, better than home? Warm, airy with high ceilings, and so much space. A hoover to keep those pesky walkd in/blown in leaves, had a great 4 days will certainly be back.

So pleased you enjoyed your stay, despite the leaf invasion! 🍁 🍂 🍃 Thank you for keeping them at bay! Also for your wonderful comments.
Greatly appreciated.
We stayed here as a group of four for four nights as we were going to the IoW festival. The bedrooms were very comfortable. The owner provided a very generous welcome pack which was most appreciated. Everywhere was very clean and fresh. The view over the Solent from the decking was wonderful.

So pleased you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for sharing your experience on the website, greatly appreciated.
This caravan was in the most beautiful position, we loved sitting out in the mornings having breakfast and in the evenings having dinner watching the ships sail past. This was the perfect position for walking our two dogs down to the beach every day and enjoying the surroundings. Sharon left us some sweet treats, milk, and a full fruit bowl for our arrival, such a lovely welcome. The caravan was very comfortable and had everything we could possibly want. We hope to return again next summer.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I’m pleased you all had a good time at ‘Paws a While!’ If I’d known you were bringing your dogs, I would have left bowls, towels and treats for them too. Sorry about that!
Fabulous caravan with a stunning sea view! Brilliant host with lots of goodies on arrival, extremely clean beds and very dog friendly! We didn’t use many of the park facilities as we visit the island regularly and just needed a base at short notice but seemed a lot going on! Perfect!

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! And you are more than welcome! Very pleased you and your fur baby enjoyed your stay at Paws a While!
We stayed 5 nights in Paws-a-While - 3 adults, 2 teenagers and a dog. It was great. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable seating area with a nice big TV and the most brilliant decking area with uninterrupted views of the Solent. The main bedroom is a good size but the two other twin rooms.are quite small. So the place certainly lends itself to a family with younger kids, rather than a group of adults. The caravan is very close to the resort's main hub (restaurants, pool, games areas) and a well executed frizbee throw from the beach. It was a great base from which to explore the island. Thumbs up!

Thank you for your comments. Pleased you enjoyed the Isle of Wight!
There were 2 of us and a dog . We had a really happy time .Sharon greeted us ,and she had left us an abundance of goodies which was so kind . The mobile home was immaculate and spacious with the perfect view towards the sea. The walks from there were ideal for dog walkers .We were able to completely relax . We were surprised and thrilled to hear the cuckoo .We had a visiting pheasant and red squirrel , and some vigilant crows too . Surround birdsong ! Thank you Sharon .
