My recent stay at Cherub Cottage in Cowes from May 29th to May 31st.The accommodation was very cozy and nice. However, the mattress in the bed was too soft, which made it difficult to sleep well during my stay.

We had a great stay. It is very walkable to the beach, and for us, more importantly, an easy drive to the penguin parade (be sure to prebook). Dinner at Pino's in Cowes was good.
