The property was fabulous. The property throughout was spotless and excellent. We had a group of 12 spending 3 nights at the property, and really enjoyed our stay. The house was tastefully furnished and as described. We have been spending the Easter break with our group over the past 30 years, and this was one of the best. Communication with the host was fantastic as they were extremely prompt with their replies. Very comfortable property, and I would recommend this property to anyone looking to holiday in Cowes.
