We stayed for a week. One of the best houses we’ve stayed in. Accurate listing. The house was well appointed. Close to amenities of Cowes. Would highly recommend for a family vacation.
Great family beach house. Wonderful open plan kitchen, dinning and lounge, our family had plenty of room to relax in. Kitchen was very well stocked, had every appliance you could want and even had basic pantry items like oil, sauce & serviettes. Kids had a ball with the table tennis table and outdoor ball games. Inside lots of board games for the whole family to enjoy too. We would love to stay again!
Absolutely loved our stay! Had the best weekend. Everything was great!
The house was so beautiful and clean! We had the best time cooking and the kitchen and pantry were stocked with so many great things! Location was great too, very short walk to the beach. Will definitely come here again! Highly recommend!!
