"We had a great stay in Alexander Pike’s one bedroom flat in Cowes. The property could not have been situated any better. It was in downtown Cowes on the pedestrian zone. The grocery store and bus stop were directly across the street from the flat. The walk from the ferry was one minute. The apartment was spotless. The appointments were perfect. Everything we could have wanted was provided. We definitely will stay here again when we return to the Isle of Wight."

"Situated in the heart of Cowes right on the High Street. We stayed here one night to attend a family party. It was perfect for 1 night, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The Anchor is a lively, popular pub serving local beers and weekly live music. The room had some ear plugs provided but we didn't need them, a nice thought though."

"We loved the flat: it was decorated and equipped to a high standard but the high point was sitting on the terrace every evening watching the house martins flying above the garden catching insects on the wing at dusk and then watching small bats doing the same thing as night fell. A very peaceful and restorative holiday home. Label the cutlery draw - it took two of us 3 searches of the kitchen to find it because it fits so seemlessly into the utensils draw!"
