A quirky house with lots of character, The Camber is in a great location for enjoying Cowes and the Isle of Wight.The owners are lovely, answering any queries quickly. The house has the best equipped kitchen in any house we have stayed in. The beds were very comfortable and the games room was a great addition to the property. The garden was fully enclosed and our dog loved it!The house is not ideal for anyone with mobility issues, (lots of stairs) but we loved it and are looking forward to returning Very soon!
