The Bay Colwell

Everything was there

No WiFi no where to use hairdryer with mirror needs licenced bar

The only down side was the floor was filthy
We had to clean it before we let our toddler play

The cleanliness could be improved. The sofa was covered in pet hair and the floors were filthy.

Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Hot tub was amazing.
Nice quiet part of the island

Came to the island for a wedding with 2 other friends. The location was perfect and the hot tub was a great addition. Would definitely recommend and 100% would stay here again in the future!

Although the resort was clean and had excellent activities for children. Gate was missing from patio area of the lodge leading out onto the road, with hard gavel standings on the lodge outside area so not suitable for young children.

It’s a really lovely chalet arrangement. Staff are friendly and welcoming. There was no Wi-Fi in the chalet and the cleanliness average but not as well equipped as we are use to. Just a few extra wouldn’t go unnoticed such as a couple of blankets a couple of extra glasses and cutlery maybe. But to finish on a positive the Hot tub was well maintained as well as the pool an overall nice place to stay close to the beach and many other attractions.

The property was very spacious with two good size bedrooms and a good amount of storage space for clothes etc. The kitchen is well appointed with oven, microwave and a large fridge/freezer. There are 4 sets of plates, bowls, glasses and cutlery. The living room was spacious but the seating is limited with a small sofa and one separate chair other than the 4 dining chairs. We also had a hot tub which was checked twice daily by the site staff and was set at a good temperature. Overall this is a great property in a great location near to the bay and a short drive from the Needles.

The stay on the whole was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a slight issue with the back door in regard to the locking but this was only a minor inconvenience. We will be back again.

We just arrived home after a four night stay here and couldn’t say a bad word about the place! From the greeting at guest services, to locating our cottage and sadly having to check out; the whole stay was excellent. We had cottage 8 with a hot tub, it was incredibly quiet despite other cottages seemingly occupied around us. The place was immaculate and although we have a dog and booked this due to being dog friendly, others have also had their dogs there but there was no evidence of this.

It is in a great location with some really good eateries around; especially The Cow! Warren Farm towards the needles is also excellent, with incredible cakes and expertly made coffee.

If I had to find a negative, it would be the mosquitoes, but the venue cannot legislate for this and is no fault of theirs.

Be sure to pack washing up liquid/dishwasher tabs, hand wash and toilet rolls.. Everything else is on hand!

Some areas in 3 rooms had mould also the toilet brush was absolutely disgusting so cleaning standards need improving Staff at reception were great and rectified the toilet brush issue also no shop or bar/restaurant onsite

We’ve stayed at The Bay before and had a great time. Unfortunately, this stay was not as nice. The floors were incredibly dirty - not ideal with an 8 month old who wanted to crawl around. The blinds in the bathroom were thick with dust. Some of the furniture was stained. Additionally, there was no hand soap provided which you’d assume was an essential item! Whilst it is a great location and has some great amenities (pool, soft play etc), cleanliness let it down massively and this is not something that can be overlooked, especially with a baby.

Excellent stay in very pleasant accommodation in a lovely area.
Superb walking and the beach within very easy reach.

Great stay, reasonable price. Hot tub water smelt a bit odd but I think they treated the water during our stay as it improved.

We had a lovely stay in a luxury cottage. It was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The hot tub was an added bonus.

The cottage was beautiful, much better than i expected being dog friendly you very often get the lower end of the quality but this was exceptional. Cant wait for next December when we come back.

Excellent, lush accommodation, didn't want to leave, definitely coming back

Loved it very clean and tidy. Would stay again. We are booking for next year

The bungalow was very well equipped and modern. The doggie welcome pack was a very nice touch. We liked the convenience of access to the beach and the little garden made looking after our pet very convenient. We were easy driving distance to the places we wanted to visit on the island.
