Julie
Lovely quirky place situated on a great bus route and two doors down from the pub. Highly recommend a visit to the Isle of Wight and a stay in this cottage. Just one little criticism...please leave a drying mop in the bathroom has it seemed to take ages to dry even with the fan on and window open.

The shower and bathroom are superb but cold sometimes. Cooking is easy and the central heating very effective. The furniture is OK but a proper vacuum cleaner would be an improvement. The outside door is old and damaged and diminishes the first impression - I did not realise that the key safe was on another door inside? The location is superb ( so close to the pub and a bus stop) and St Helens is a good place to stay. I hope to return out of season when the price will be a similar bargain.
