We enjoyed our stay: lots of room for 3 families, loved the outdoor spa and fantastic location close to the beach. A little dissapointed the gas log fire heater was out of order on arrival but overall we had a great stay.

Family Gathering
Our family enjoyed the layout of this property and loved the spa.
The upstairs accommodation was popular with the children and we all enjoyed the outdoor space.
A great location as the beach is just around the corner and Cowes in easy walking distance.
The only negative was the lack of wine and champagne glasses!
