The house was amazing. Spotless and very clean. All the beds were very comfortable. Just remember to contact the agent to arrange linen beforehand. We had a great time and would definitely stay again.
It wasn’t the cheapest place we have ever stayed but it was fantastic! The house had all the amenities you could ever need! Spacious, clean and beautiful! The children had hours of fun in the pool!!
This house has everyone taken care of with in house facilities you could think of and lovely comfortable furnishings. Pool is fabulous with wading section for children. Great locked gate at front gives additional area for play and room for 6 cars no worries.
Big house with five bedrooms including three master rooms. We enjoyed our stay however the price was expensive. I was not happy with the check in process and asking 1500 as Bond on top of rates and I even paid transaction fee for the Bond which wasn’t good.

Beautifully presented home. Spacious and moderen. Very private. Enough space for the whole family.
Family friendly swimming pool.
Only criticism, the underwater pool lights were very bright at night time. An option to turn them off would have been good.
Remember to notify them if you require linen.
Other than this, lovely stay. Would definitely recommend staying here!
When we first walked in to this house, we were immediately in awe. Xenia of Cowes is a beautiful, comfortable and clean house to enjoy and relax with friends and family. It is complete and spacious.
The only issue was that we couldn’t work out how to heat the swimming pool and couldn’t get through to anyone to help us.
Other than that, we had a lovely time. Thank you.
Communication with the agent was excellent and was always made to feel special and important. Great location, beautiful pool/outdoor area, very spacious house, everything in good working order.
Well equiped and neat and tidy. Only downside was that it could have been cleaner. Some bedroom furniture was dusty, there were a few cobwebs throughout the house and dead moths/flies on window ledge in one bedroom.
Having said that my family and I would definately recommend this house and would love to stay here again.... If it was cleaned a little better.
Honestly was a great stay, very spacious, communication between the house owner was excellent and kids had lots of fun in the pool only downside was the internet connection was a bit slow which made it harder to have a movie night with the family.
But would definitely recommend to big families and friends.☺️☺️☺️
Thanks guys
