    All comforts well thought out for a very cosy home from home holiday.

    The equipment in the house was excellent, everything you need is there including a lovely welcome pack for immediate needs (eggs. Bread, milk etc) everything has been thought of and provided. The hosts are really warm and welcoming. There was a problem with the gate and Vicki rang to say it was broken as she was concerned about security and our dog (which wasn’t a problem for us) We also had a problem with lights failing and they immediately tried to fix but the bathroom only had a mirror light which made it difficult but these things can’t be helped. Things we didn’t love: Exterior/gardens is really nothing like the advert photos which show a neat and tidy garden. The grass hadn’t been cut and the garden was quite overgrown. The lovely little courtyard looks pristine and tidy and would have been lovely to sit out in but again, nothing like the advert photos. Definitely needs some maintenance and tlc. We found the bed to be small for us (double bed) and the memory foam mattresses weren’t very comfortable (but that’s our preferences and might be fine for others) We also had to spend half an hour removing an amount of cobwebs. (Our dogs toy went under a table in the hallway and it had to be washed because of the amount of dust and cobwebs) The one thing that bothered us more than anything was we had taken some of our own glasses etc from home to use and when we reported the lights being broken whoever came in broke one of our glasses and threw the broken glass in the recycling bin with no note or message saying (apologising?) about the broken glass and that to be careful it was in the bin bag. We also found two large chunks of broken glass just under the cooker but sticking out a little bit that we noticed them, with some smaller fragments which had obviously been missed when getting our broken glass up. We have a dog and she could have cut herself. (Also there was a dirty cloth left on a chair along with a bowl of dirty water in the sink. A small annoyance but along with breaking our glass and not letting us know just added to it) We are saddened about these things as we had a great week on the island but feel it’s the right thing to do to write them down as this is our experience.

    We found the property incredibly spacious and well equipped and the perfect base for exploring Freshwater and the Southern beaches of the Island. The garden is enclosed and safe and perfect for our two young children to run freely in. The pub down the road is highly recommended and the shop at Stoats Farm around the corner a useful benefit. We hope to return for another family h
