Good break with friends
Excellent location. Just short walk from red jet. Nice spacious house. Lots of sleep options for group of friends. Good value.
Great base for a trip to the IOW. Nothing too much hassle for our host. Cowes centre only a 3 minute walk

Cowes
Comfortable house and great access into Cowes and island. The owner was really helpful and prompt. However only thing to be mindful of is parking (even with permit that owner kindly arranged) wasn’t easy. Overall great stay.

Great Location
We had a lovely time at this property. The location to town is great. We were a family of 7, 5 adults and two 5 year olds. We spent the majority of our time when at the property, in the large kitchen. Claire the property manager, was outstanding from beginning to end.
