"This tiny wooden "chalet" was six metres long at its widest divided into two main areas. The largest was the lounge, kitchen diner with television & double doors to outside. The slightly smaller area measuring 260 cm square with a further section divided into a shower room with toilet & very small sink. (I measured it all but wont bore you with the details.) We had to move suitcases from the small space around the bed to lounge area, to go to sleep then return the cases in morning to bedroom area to make breakfast. As there is very minimal storage space to use. Due to heavy rain for most of the week that we stayed & my mother's lack of mobility we spent more time in here than was healthy. One of the host's constant daily monitoring from their adjacent home made us leave the blinds down on the double glass doors as the "chalet's" doors opens directly onto their large garden. There was little privacy or space & wooden floors creaked when walked upon. I would not consider this a suitable place for two people & a dog to holiday in anytime maybe one person only, especially when paying customers. Hosts were less than welcoming & mostly indifferent when we spoke to them. The as mentioned on other reviews homemade cakes appeared on Thursday before we left, as a sweetener for a good review. They were left uneaten, train passes every 20 minutes from early in the morning until 10.30pm close to location and rough sparsely tarred road to property with many potholes not great for anyone's car."

" It has a well equiped kitchen and unusually storage space was left in a double cupboard which a lot of properties we've stayed in don't usually have. The sofas were low and uncomfortable. Not good for the less agile. It would be worth putting on the description that access to the 2nd bathroom is through the smallest bedroom with bunk beds. Not a problem for us as we didn't use that room. And if used by kids wouldn't be either. It's might be useful for some people to know. It was in a quiet area with easy access to the beach - 5 minute walk. And walks to Sandown and Shanklin along the sea front. Also easy access to bus and train and getting to places by car. The court yard gets the sun in the day time. It is overlooked if people don't like that. It's got plenty of room to sit out there. Parking for one car in front of the house. Not a lot of space on the road for another car. Wasn't an issue for us as once the second car was parked it stayed there and buses and trains or the one car were used. Don't expect if using 2 cars to be guaranteed a space on the road when you return. Overall a nice property. Clean and spacious. Lovely comfy beds. Easy access to public transport and the beach. Quiet area. Very well equipped. "

"Lesson 1: turn off your satnav, you're on the Isle of Wight! Welcome: Dawn and Ken met us at the gate, and gave us a thorough guided tour of the facilities, and there's a welcome gift as well. The cottage has only been available since July 2014, so everything was new. Perfect for two people, and as this is the Isle of Wight you are no far from anything, although if you eat out of an evening, you do need to drive or hire a taxi. Facilities: excellent View: fields, trees, animals, there are 3 nature reserves, and Brading Down has wonderful views. We had spectacular weather in September, even managed a swim in the sea off Sandown. One pub lunch after a long walk, and one evening meal in a pub for our wedding anniversary, otherwise we ate at the cottage. Fish and chips from the local caravan park are recommended - but they did shut at 7pm. Hard to say what I didn't like, there really wasn't anything in this category. One tip: once you arrive on the Island, ring ahead for directions, I drove past the cottage 3 times (hopefully the owners have put a sign on the gate now), and I know my way around."

"Heath Villa is absolutely perfect; the owner could not provide more, everything required is at hand, even a holiday bucket for the dogs. Children are very well catered for too. Both dogs and children are safe in the enclosed garden and parking is right outside the house.The bungalow is immaculate and is in a very quiet area, nice neighbours which is an added bonus, and very close to the coastal path and green area for dog walks. Fifteen minutes walk to Sandown and ten minutes to Shanklin. The main street is only a couple of minutes walk away, where there is a small store which is open 12 hours a day; the Lake Fish Bar and Ko Sing a Chinese takeaway (they also deliver) - both of which serve great quality food and have very friendly staff - what more could you ask for?!It all makes for a very relaxing holiday, I have no hesitation in recommending Heath Villa to all."
