This was a great safe location for me to have a toddler and child by myself. I felt comfortable going in and out and the carpark was convenient to the room door which made it easy with the toddler. There was more room than I expected and the staff were lovely. Very clean and comfortable. I would stay here again.

2nd time staying here. Rooms are nice and big, and the spa is nice too. No washing liquid for the dishes though. Handily close to the GP circuit so if you are planning a track day it's a handy spot, and right on the outskirts of Cowes so not far to go for shopping or meals.
