Lovely place to stay
Pros:

The hosts were very welcoming & the place was lovely and clean. The 1st room was a little small, but we were given another room, which was much larger and more spacious.
The pool was a great touch, especially in this heatwave.

Cons:

I realize that the place is an older property but could use a little air conditioning, but as above, it was exceptionally hot the week we stayed.

Very nice home from home
Pros:

Food was great although we only had breakfast and the little shop was handy

Would have preferred a shower rather than a bath, and there was nothing to hold onto when getting in or out it.

Perfect for my weeks stay on the Isle of Wight.
Pros:

Did not require breakfast, but my room was perfect for me on the ground floor being a visitor in my 80's. It was in a good position for trips out to local beauty spots.

Cons:

It was fine for me.
