"Really lovely place to stay"

Really lovely place to stay. We went with our 1 year old, and the place was great for him. Lots of space, toys, and lovely furniture with no sharp edges for the little one! Location was great, close to the shops and restaurants, but in a nice quiet street.

"Amazing!!, Recommend this place 10000%!!!"

We had such a great time here. The house is stunning, the modern updates to the bedrooms and kitchen are really sleek. It was so convenient being near the markets, too. A huge thank you to our host for being so generous and giving us some extra time to check out when we were running late. It made our trip much less stressful!

"A great home in the centre of Cowes"

A great home in the centre of Cowes. Perfect walking distance to both the beach and town centre. The house was clean and modern with everything you need for a stay. Sean replied extremely quickly and rectified any issues immediately. We will be back.
