About the host

Hosted by Ally McCabe

Host profile image
Ex primary school teacher.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the Isle of Wight when I used to come every year with one of my schools. We still meet up when they come over.

What makes this property unique

Sunny patio garden, close to the beach and high street but in a quiet area. Discounted ferry, usually at least 25% off standard car ferry price with Wightlink depending on time of year and which service used. Parking at the property. Please note that I live in the main house and a family member lives in the flat over my kitchen. He is mostly out at work but needs access through the patio garden.
