Great for multiple families
Great size yard, great size house to fit 12 adults and teenagers comfortably. Short drive to shops and beach. Lovely open plan living upstairs. Needs a new table tennis table and bats. Plenty of fridge/freezer space and very well equipped kitchen. Excellent communication and support when we had an issue.

We stayed for a school holiday getaway in Winter. House had plenty of room and able to accommodate our group. We had everything we needed to make our stay as easy as possible. The host was very easy to communicate with. Was a short drive into town.

Close enough, but far enough...
We had a great stay at this property. We were three families with children between the ages of 7 to 14. The property itself had more than enough space to accommodate us all. There were a few children that slept on the fold out sofa beds. The backyard is very big and and was good to sit out and enjoy the sunshine, as was the balcony off the dinning room. Communication with the owner was easy and responded in a timely manner. You can walk into town if needed, about 30mins, but far enough away as to not be caught in the traffic and (sometimes) searching for a car park. Cleaning could be a touch better, however, all in all a great stay and would recommend this place.

Great family home
Loved our stay here. Great big backyard and spaces for the children to play and adults to enjoy. It was clean and bright. Accurate listing and check in was efficient. Only downside was the table tennis table was broken but we still managed to enjoy a play on it. Thanks and would stay again if in the area!

Great family house
Overall, great house in fantastic location. Plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 littlies. Four large bedrooms meant all had their own area and littlies were able to sleep peacefully during the day. Within walking distance to cafes, shops, beach and playgrounds. Russell was really easy to deal with and responded quickly to queries.

Amazing Property - Great Beds and ALOT of room!
We enjoyed our stay immensely, there was enough room for 6 kids and 5 adults to enjoy each others company, the beds were REALLY comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped that looks over the back yard and the pergola out the back and the front was great to watch the kids back yard and also out the front. Russell was so easy to contact and had quick responses, thank you for a great property to spend time in, if we are ever in Cowes again, we will stay there!
