We have stayed in many properties on the Isle of Wight in various locations. This property was outstanding in terms of cleanliness, amenities and welcome pack. The location is ideal for those looking for a quiet and relaxing break with views over fields. Our hosts had left no stone unturned to ensure that our break felt like home from home. We would definitely recommend this property and look forward to returning.
