In the heart of Cowes

Amazing central location in Cowes. A few minutes walk to the beach or shop/restaurants. A little noisy at night, being next door to holiday apartments, but it didn't interrupt sleep. The house itself is really great. Fully equipped kitchen, huge dining tables in and outside, nice hot shower and comfortable beds. The bunk bed undersheets and some pillows were stained and could do with a good wash. The house needed a good airing, it was very stuffy, which never really cleared over the two days we stayed with all windows open. The free wifi was a useful inclusion. Kids, parents and grandparents had a lovely stay. Thank you!

Great location

The location of this house is perfect, the layout is family friendly with our littlest member able to crawl around the house safely . The outside is not child friendly but fine for older kids . The house could do with a really good clean , especially bathrooms. The house smelt like it had water damage so we had to keep all windows open, however It wouldn’t take much to bring the house up to standard . The blinds cords need to attached to the wall as this is so dangerous. We would stay here again if we knew these things had been fixed.

Phillip Island

Lovely house. Unfortunately very hard for elderly relative to enter as steps with no handrail at both entrances. Mostly clean, a few things showed a young child had previously stayed there but otherwise good. All appliances worked well, kitchen well stocked with everything needed to cook, it even had basics like salt & pepper (a lot of places don't have them). An excellent home for a family, but not so much for older people.
