Lovely short break to the IOW for a birthday treat. Beautiful location and everything we needed.
Pros:

We didn't fully understand what to expect in terms of breakfast, not the hosts fault. It was DIY but everything was provided, including ingredients for a cooked breakfast if we required it. The table was set, and everything in its right place ready to go. The host explained everything to us when we arrived.

Cons:

We couldn't really fault it. The accommodation exceeded our expectations. We travelled by ferry and walked to the property along the sea front which took little time at all.

A fabulous English country cottage in a superb location with a rich history.
Pros:

It is s a beautiful cottage with a fabulous history in a fantastic location for the main town of Cowes. The rooms are very well proportioned with virtually every need catered for. There is a fully stocked & functional kitchen with a fabulous dining room & a lovely sitting room. The garden is full of flowers with an outside seating area, chiminea & BBQ.

Cons:

There was nothing not to like.

Pros:

Man bewohnt das Haus des Gastgebers. Dieser hält sich jedoch im Hintergrund und ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Dan versorgt einem mit guten Tipps!
Man muss wissen , dass es sich nicht um klassisches B&B handelt, da man sich das Frühstück in der top ausgestatteten Küche selber zubereitet. Dan stellt alles zur Verfügung! Es mangelt an nichts. Wir würden wiederkommen! Es gibt quasi ein eigenes großes Schlafzimmer, Badezimmer und Esszimmer. Gerne kann man auch das Wohnzimmer mit Kamin nutzen. Dan kümmert sich rührend, fragt nach ob etwas fehlt und sorgt für eine sehr aufgeräumte und sehr saubere Unterkunft!

Lovely stay & great host
Pros:

Dan was a great host. Super helpful and provided a very suitable breakfast for us before our cycle. The house is so pretty and right by the beach!

Cons:

There was a heatwave when we went, so some gangs would have helped a little. But other than that, nothing that we didn’t like :)

A very pleasant start to our holiday on the island.
Pros:

Really nice place to stay with my kids. Dan basically gave us his house and said help yourself as he was away for the night. We were lucky with the weather so had breakfast and coffee outside before setting off on a cycling trip round the island. House located a nice 10 min walk into town. Would gladly stay again.

charakter!
Pros:

Cliffside is a charming cottage full of charakter, with seaview, perfectly located 50 meters from the beach, at walking distance from the centre of Cowes. You get an enourmous room with a kingsize bed that garantees a good night rest. Owner Dan made us feel at home, gave tips on what to see. He even lit a fire for us on chilly evenings. Garantee for a good conversation! He really made us feel very welcome.
We had a great time and will come back...

Highly recommended
Pros:

Good, quiet location with easy parking. Lovely host. Attractive house and very comfy accommodation.

Cons:

Everything was great. May be relevant to some people that everything is provided for a substantial breakfast which you then cook yourself. This can of course be an advantage too 😊
