Very good

All beds good except for the one in the downstairs room which was way too soft. We rolled into the middle every time we turned over. The outdoor spaces needed cleaning. We will stay again next year if possible.

Phillip Isle Bike Races Accommodation
Property itself is very good & looks to have been recently renovated internally.
It is about 10/15 min walk to Cowes CBD.
My personal experience with the property manager though was unfortunately terrible as I found this individual arrogant & condecending to say the least.
I note again this does not reflect on the standard of the property.
We had a wonderful time in the house.
It has the perfect location for us.
A pleasant walk along the beach to the restaurant area. Parking is plentiful.
The bed in the downstairs bedroom is terrible. The mattress is in poor condition. The house was not as clean as on our previous stay. There was a damp smell in a couple of bedrooms.
We would stay here again if these minor issues were rectified.

Bit of TLC needed
Sorry to say we were a bit disappointed with the house compared to the photos. House didn't look like it was visited just prior to our booking, leaves at front door, spiders in places. Downstairs area was quite large and nicely done, although felt the sofa was a bit grubby. Upstairs didn't have any air conditioning which proved a problem as it was hot on our first night there. Even with windows open it was still stifling. Beds could do with updating, seemed very old. The stay was enjoyable but not quite to what we expected.
Really pleased with the house and location, we'll definitely book again!
House is really big and airy, nice spacious rooms and plenty of places to sleep - even a bedroom downstairs with an ensuite. Wonderful dining and lounge area downstairs, love the open plan living. Really loved the kitchen and it came with all the staples if you feel like cooking.
Only a 10-15 minute walk to the local shops and one block back from a beautiful beach.
Nice garden for doggo to enjoy, and a little doggy door for him to come in and out as he pleased.
