Very comfortable. Everything you needed. Lots of dvd's to watch in the evening. Great views, especially upstairs. Nice local walks. Owner really friendly and lovely welcome from their dog. Also saw a red squirrel in the driveway.

Being old and not tech savvy we struggled with the heating! More detailed instructions would help.

It is well kept and in a great location with wonderful views. It is compact, comfortable and very well equiped. The owners are on site, very friendly but unobtrusive. They are always keen to help or improve your stay and the building. Over the years they have carried out many improvements and upgrades. It is not suitable for anyone with limited mobility due to it's lay out. We will be back next year and hopefully beyond. Would recommend this let if visiting the Isle of Wight. N & H West Sussex
