"We really enjoyed our stay and Claremont House and Chris was lovely.The hot tub and spa was a lovely addition to the place, although the hot tub could have done with a good clean and a couple of the nozzles weren't working properly.Off street parking was a plus if a little congested at times. This place was advertised as a luxury apartment but for me it lacked the luxury part which is reflected in my review. If this hadn't have been advertised as luxury my review would be very different as it's a nice place to stay.The following is what took away the luxury part for me:No housekeeping all week, only 1 spare loo roll provided and no spare bin bags.The bed was very soft and could do with a new mattress. The bedding had a rough pattern on the duvet cover and pillow cases, I would suggest changing these for plain ones.The towels were too small and mismatched, consider replacing with matching bath sheets.There was a random freezer in the bedroom, would never use it because of the noise it would make, so just remove it.Consider adding some curtains in the bedroom because the sun comes through the slats in the very nice wooden blinds and shined straight into my face from about 5/6am.The light in the bathroom was a waste of time, could barely tell it had been switched on, consider upgrading to a brighter unit/bulb.Other than that everything else was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

"We booked this property as it was the only one available at the time that was large enough for our party of 16. Not being able to check in until 4pm is not very user friendly. The property looks lovely, but I don't know how it got a 5 star rating. All the mattresses are old uncomfortable and need replacing. Some of the sheets are a little shabby and need replacing. The kitchen utensils are not suitable for a property that sleeps 20, as the pots and pans are tiny and barely enough to cook for 6 people and old and worn. only 1 bin liner and 3 dishwasher tablets were left and not suitable equipment to use and clean the barbecue. Only half a toilet roll in each loo. We had to go out and buy loo paper, kitchen paper, cleaning things and bin bags....this is hardly 5 star. It feels like the owner wants to keep the cleaning deposit...which I am still waiting to get back. Please advise when I will get the deposit back."

"This is our second stay at Sea View and it suits our needs perfectly as it's in the perfect location and is nice and spacious for our family of 5. It comes well equipped with all necessary electrical appliances (washing machine came in very useful!!) and was immaculately presented to us by Andy who was there to greet us on arrival. The lift to Shanklin beach is literally around the corner and it is a short walk in to Shanklin for pubs, shops and restaurants. It comes with private off road parking which is really handy.Our only real niggle is the lack of blackout curtains for the bedrooms. The current curtains are lovely but only if you like being awake at 4:30am !! Free Wi-Fi is available but signal strength was intermittent."

"Firstly the ease of booking and paying for the holiday, with helpful staff assisting. Secondly the information about the holiday home and the area was brilliant. But most of all the holiday home "Cosie" was superb, it was tastefully decorated and furnished and well equipped. The information provided by the owners was excellent, especially for dog owners. The information provided before the holiday was also excellent and prepared us for our visit (especially about the parking), we were also surprised by how much room there was in "Cosie". All in all, the best holiday we have had in years. Thank you."
