Disliked: Cleanliness
Great Location of house . House has potential to be worth money they charge IF the property is maintained . Oven does not work . Many globes not working . Shower in ensuite does not work properly. Some Power points not secured . Back deck & back fridge was filthy . Upstairs aircon was broken - didn’t have heating or cooling upstairs for our whole stay . House needs proper clean built up dust etc in many places . Toilet door handle needed repairing . Bathroom door lock does not work . Overall the property is very ‘tired’ and needs a maintenance crew to go in and repair / replace many fixtures & items . Property also needs a thorough clean ! We found a credit card under scatter cushion on lounge from a previous tenant which is a sure indication that cleaning is very minimal. Feedback has been sent to host so hoping with that , this property gets the attention to it required to justify rate charged for house .

Great stay at this property which is perfect for larger groups esp kids. Place itself was fine but the management and comms could be better - no check out info and we were told bins would be emptied but this didn’t happen

Birthday bash

Place was awesome. Close to walk into Cowes. Plenty of room and places to entertain throughout the whole house espically the outdoor area. At night have the covers down in the outdoor area and it's just like sitting inside especially with the heaters going.

Great for a lot of friends

We stayed here for a weekend life group retreat with 10 friends. The house layout worked so well for our set up of two couples with a baby and a girls room and a guys room. The living areas well set up for so many of us. The kitchen well equipped and the outdoor area lovely space to use too. Not too far from Cowes main strip and was just a lovely house to be in and use. Well equipped for families, with a portacot and high chair. Only thing about the queen bed upstairs was that it was quite hard, almost felt like sleeping on a plank of wood. This didn’t hinder the overall stay. Would come again!
