The stay on the whole was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a slight issue with the back door in regard to the locking but this was only a minor inconvenience. We will be back again.

Great stay, reasonable price. Hot tub water smelt a bit odd but I think they treated the water during our stay as it improved.

We had a lovely stay in a luxury cottage. It was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The hot tub was an added bonus.

Excellent for a short break
The bungalow was very well equipped and modern. The doggie welcome pack was a very nice touch. We liked the convenience of access to the beach and the little garden made looking after our pet very convenient. We were easy driving distance to the places we wanted to visit on the island.

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.

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.

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.
