Staff are friendly and welcoming. There was no Wi-Fi in the chalet and the cleanliness average but not as well equipped as we are use to. Just a few extra wouldn’t go unnoticed such as a couple of blankets a couple of extra glasses and cutlery maybe. But to finish on a positive the Hot tub was well maintained as well as the pool an overall nice place to stay close to the beach and many other attractions. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 21 Oct 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness Some areas in 3 rooms had mould also the toilet brush was absolutely disgusting so cleaning standards need improving Staff at reception were great and rectified the toilet brush issue also no shop or bar/restaurant onsite ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 10 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great property in a great location. The property was very spacious with two good size bedrooms and a good amount of storage space for clothes etc. The kitchen is well appointed with oven, microwave and a large fridge/freezer. There are 4 sets of plates, bowls, glasses and cutlery. The living room was spacious but the seating is limited with a small sofa and one separate chair other than the 4 dining chairs. We also had a hot tub which was checked twice daily by the site staff and was set at a good temperature. Overall this is a great property in a great location near to the bay and a short drive from the Needles. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas 2 Oct 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Incredible location and hottubs Loved the appartments and hot tub! Amazing location too. On the downside there was water leaking on the floor when you stepped on a certain panel. Also the checkout is very early and checkin very late. I sent a question about the late checkin but didn’t receive a response. ##### Thomas Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hannah 21 Oct 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness We’ve stayed at The Bay before and had a great time. Unfortunately, this stay was not as nice. The floors were incredibly dirty - not ideal with an 8 month old who wanted to crawl around. The blinds in the bathroom were thick with dust. Some of the furniture was stained. Additionally, there was no hand soap provided which you’d assume was an essential item! Whilst it is a great location and has some great amenities (pool, soft play etc), cleanliness let it down massively and this is not something that can be overlooked, especially with a baby. ##### Hannah Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Natasha 29 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Good for families of 4 or less! Nice accommodation fairly close to the beach. However, it was not suitable for a family of 5\. Good double and twin rooms, but the fifth bed was in the kitchen / lounge on a sofa “bed” that was really not fit for purpose. Very, very uncomfortable. Asked at reception for a spare mattress and didn’t get anything. In the end after two nights on the other actual sofa (which was preferable to the sofa bed) went out and bought a blow up air bed! ##### Natasha Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MRS E M 24 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay-planning to return Lovely accommodation, very spacious with a deck and garden furniture to enjoy if you go during decent weather-we unfortunately went during the monsoon season apparently! Reception very efficient, everything explained; there is a small indoor swimming pool, a bar/coffee shop and a path to the beach off the site. In the kitchen there was an eco friendly welcome kit containing a j cloth, scouring pad, tea towel, dishwasher tablet and a tube of washing up liquid. There was a dishwasher and a washing machine. The only fault was that there was no frying pan, so no bacon butties, but we survived somehow. Colwell Bay and Totland Bay short drives away, or there is a coastal path if you are feeling energetic. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1375D869F12325CF13542838CC07D87F35A4F7311695565152234.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FDB69F4140B3BEBABAF32618FDE4B0DF32F999381695565155599.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FC9DF76B034486CC10D473F516482E0B6702E0631695565153587.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8A9DCA14A2146B874E7F32F08153B0CBB77DE8E11695565153438.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### MRS E M Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### J 25 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We just arrived home after a four night stay here and couldn’t say a bad word about the place! From the greeting at guest services, to locating our cottage and sadly having to check out; the whole stay was excellent. We had cottage 8 with a hot tub, it was incredibly quiet despite other cottages seemingly occupied around us. The place was immaculate and although we have a dog and booked this due to being dog friendly, others have also had their dogs there but there was no evidence of this. It is in a great location with some really good eateries around; especially The Cow! Warren Farm towards the needles is also excellent, with incredible cakes and expertly made coffee. If I had to find a negative, it would be the mosquitoes, but the venue cannot legislate for this and is no fault of theirs. Be sure to pack washing up liquid/dishwasher tabs, hand wash and toilet rolls.. Everything else is on hand! ##### J Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Gavin 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice break The cottage had was lovely although broken shower head and leaking hose. Without a car this place is a long bus ride to get to the middle and east side of the island. At least an hour each way. The place is dog friendly and each morning we were woken up by yapping dogs that never seemed to stop. My partner made use of the pool which he loved. There is a path to the beach via a coded gate but we were given the wrong code at check-in. Overall it was a nice place to stay and the cottage was kitted out with everything you'd need. ##### Gavin Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### scott 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Everything was there ##### scott Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
