The property was clean and tidy, spacious and inviting. It was everything we needed for a weekend away. Enough room for us to be able to relax with everything you need there, a home away from home. It had the cleaning things needed at hand and it had a first aid box and other goodies in drawers, so if you needed scissors, there were a pair, anything medical such as dettol, it was in the bathroom. Brilliant. There was plenty of information available on the kitchen table and plenty of room to be able to park your car, inside the fully gated property. Everything was thought of. Games and books are also available for your use, so we did a few puzzles as a family. Communication was perfect and any questions were answered. Check in and out were seemless too. Short drive to the back beaches such as Surf Beach or about a 9 min drive to Cowes. Thankyou for having us and we will be re-booking again, perfect for us to get away. ##### Melissa D.
