We had the most wonderful weekend stay in Cowes and could not have been happier with the property. Everything was thoughtfully set up and incredibly well equipped. There was more than enough crockery, utensils, pots and pans for a big family, which made cooking so easy. The cleaning supplies provided were also a huge bonus and made it simple to keep everything tidy with four kids in tow.The pull out sofas were surprisingly comfortable and the kids were thrilled with the games and Wii, which kept them entertained the whole weekend. We were genuinely impressed with everything that was provided.We travelled with four kids and the place was absolutely perfect for our family. We would happily stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well equipped getaway in Cowes.
