"This was our 1st visit to S14211 having been recommended by our son & his family who visited August 2017. It had a lot to live up to compared to our previous venue that we had stayed at twice a year for the last 15 years & had recently closed down due to owners retirement. (We are former Island residents). The en-suite bedroom was ideal for our 39 yr old autistic son, especially having a TV, which saved us having to bring one for him! Generally there were no real issues except no mattress protector on the 5 ft (2nd bedroom bed). Also in that bedroom the wardrobe doors should be the other way round so that the mirrored door can be used without banging elbows on the adjacent wall & standing in the small gap between the robe & chest of drawers (there are no other mirrors in that room). The stair gate should be easily removable (negotiating it to carry suitcases /base up & down is a pain) & should be available as necessary). Oven & grill pan needs a good proper clean ( didn't use it - where was the grill pan handle?) Lower dishwasher basket/tray needs at least new wheels or replacing. Having made all these comments, we are returning for 2 weeks in September as we booked this at that the same time as our most recent visit - we did really ENJOY our stay at S14211 - comfortable beds & sofas, many extras like you have at home. plenty of spare linen/towels + the tea/coffee/milk & bottle of wine there on arrival + very friendly & helpful caretaker Danny set the tone for an enjoyable stay - thank you!"

"This is a great wee cottage, although you might not think that when you first see it, stuck in the middle of terraced houses. My wife and I stayed here for two weeks from late June. Inside, first impressions were of a well looked after; clean, tidy and well equipped cottage with no hint of any nasty odours. The information booklet was well laid out and the cooker, washing machine easy to use. The shower was a treat and there were ample towels to cover our two week stay. There is a double bedroom downstairs and a twin room upstairs. Outside there is a small fenced in garden area with; rattan sofa and chairs, a table with two chairs and a rotary dryer. We loved the garden with its tubs of plants. There is even a hose and tap if you want to give the plants a wee drink. Location wise this place is right where you would want to be. The beach is only 5 minutes away in either direction. There is also a Sainsbury and Co-op about two minutes away. I would recommend this cottage for any family up to 4."

"We were not happy with the fact that both the numbers we were given had nothing to do with the property, they knew nothing about giving out permits for the car park and they told me they were sick of people ringing them about the property. One night it felt quite cold as the front room gets no sun and it was quite chill, I went to the handbook and it said you put some heating on by turning up the thermostat in the hall when I went to that it said we could not use it as it was controlled by a HIVE. There were fires in every room that were out of commission so they could not be used. The bath felt as though it was about give away under you when you got a shower. The garden was very unkempt with weeds coming through the paving stones. We felt the wiring was not very good in the kitchen as everything was on extension leads."

"located close to the ferry terminal at Fishbourne so very convenient when travelling to the island. A good base to tour the island with everything being within 20 miles . The views of the Medina were good. Three pubs within 2-3 miles, with one being in 15 mins walking distance, serving carvery and other meals - this was mostly busy so we would advise booking in advance. Our son is a rapidly growing teenager and the 2ft 6 inch beds in the second bedroom were only just big enough for him, another year and they would have been too small.The house is just starting to show some signs of wear and tear but overall is a good choice for 3-5 people (we had a towel rail fall off when first touched, but without tools could not rectify this, and two of the showers are starting to show signs of use)"

"We loved the situation of the cottage, which is secluded at the far end of a pot-holed lane. The views of the tidal creek and the spectacle of the birds feeding at low tide provided hours of pleasure.Plus points - Very comfortable bed and sitting room furniture. 3 shower rooms and good handrails on the stairs. I am partially disabled and managed getting up and down very well.Minus points - The whole cottage stood in need of a thorough end of season deep clean, especially the carpet and rug in the sitting room. Lavatory seat in WC in master bedroom was broken. Not a huge amount of pots and pans, but we didn't mind as we mostly ate out. Over all, we thought it was very good value"
