An excellent stay arranged by a wonderful host

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Isle of Wight and this home provided the perfect base for us. We spent countless hours sunbathing in the garden, reading in the conservatory and even cheered on Wimbledon from the lounge. Charlotte was an excellent host and was very hospitable from the off - I couldn’t recommend her and this lovely home highly enough.

Immaculate and spacious - very high quality

We have stayed in a lot of holiday homes over the years (my mum treats us all as it is special family time) and your house is definitely in our top 3. If not our all time favourite! My 14 year old daughter is fantasising about living here! The welcome hamper was a lovely touch. As were all of the little things which you thought of too, such as the guide books, the lovely cups and plates, the amazing smellies (I am converted!) and the lovely dog bed. Everything felt luxurious and new, especially in the kitchen. We spent most of our time in the conservatory which was a lovely space to sit as a family of 7. What a great location too! The house served as a wonderful base for morning runs along the railway and the beach, train rides out and trips to Lidl! It is clear that a lot of love, thought, time and energy has gone into making this one very special place to stay. It has an air of luxury whilst still feeling really homely. Thank you for creating a space which feels welcoming and cared for. We can't wait to return. Alicia, Steve, Margaret, Katy, Indi, Nate and Gabe
