What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for.

Great place - more info would be nice

Great stay at this property which is perfect for larger groups esp kids. Place itself was fine but the management and comms could be better - no check out info and we were told bins would be emptied but this didn’t happen

Birthday bash

Place was awesome. Close to walk into Cowes. Plenty of room and places to entertain throughout the whole house espically the outdoor area. At night have the covers down in the outdoor area and it's just like sitting inside especially with the heaters going.

Great for a lot of friends

We stayed here for a weekend life group retreat with 10 friends. The house layout worked so well for our set up of two couples with a baby and a girls room and a guys room. The living areas well set up for so many of us. The kitchen well equipped and the outdoor area lovely space to use too. Not too far from Cowes main strip and was just a lovely house to be in and use. Well equipped for families, with a portacot and high chair. Only thing about the queen bed upstairs was that it was quite hard, almost felt like sleeping on a plank of wood. This didn’t hinder the overall stay. Would come again!
