We all had a fabulous stay here and there is so much to love about this house. The amount of space is amazing and the location is brilliant. The garden is fantastic, especially for families with young children, and the outdoor seating area is lovely. We all absolutely loved the piano! The games room was good, the arcade machine is a great touch Read moreand the Xbox was brilliant, especially if you have children or teenagers with you. We didnt use the gym, but its a nice extra to have. The hot tub being inside the dome is also a lovely idea, and the kitchen is spacious, open and really well equipped. All of the kitchen appliances, utensils and crockery were spotless. The bedding and towels provided were lovely and clean, and we all found the beds very comfortable. There are, however, some areas where we felt the house could benefit from some attention and updating. Quite a few of the radiators are rusting, many of the walls are heavily scuffed and some of the painting throughout looks quite patchy and unfinished. There are also a number of stains on the carpets and the curtains in the main bedroom are stained. The en-suite bathroom in particular could do with replacing, and there appears to be visible damage from this in the living room below. I want to make it clear that the house itself didnt feel unclean its more that some of the areas needing maintenance, decorating and updating unfortunately make it appear that way. The one thing I did find unacceptable was arriving to a large amount of dog mess right beside the childrens swings, along with lots of cigarette butts around the patio area. I had to clear all of this up myself before we had even entered the house. This really should have been checked before new guests arrived, particularly in a property aimed at families and dog owners. A few relatively simple additions would also make a big difference. Every bedroom would benefit from having a mirror and either a chest of drawers or dressing table, as there wasnt really enough practical space for getting ready and storing clothes. Considering how many people the house accommodates, we also struggled for everyone to sit comfortably together in the living room, so an additional sofa or some extra comfortable seating would be a great addition. Overall, we had a fabulous week and made some lovely memories here. We genuinely would return because the house has so much going for it, particularly the space, location and garden. However, considering the price of the stay, I do think some improvements, decorating and general maintenance are needed to bring the property up to the standard you would expect for what you are paying.

Lovely holiday house with lots to recommend. Large, light filled house with amazing extras like the hot tub, games room, gym and play equipment for children. My 3 year old grandaughter couldn't wait to get back to the house to get on the trampoline or swing. Bedrooms were great with very comfy beds. We had a shower issue early on but the maintenancRead moree company came quickly to sort out. Location is amazing for loads of outings across the island and the local beaches are excellent, especially Sandown and Yaverland. We were sad to leave as there was so much more we could have visited on the island and we had to say goodbye to the baby seagull who was learning to fledge on the flat roof beside our bedroom. Hide

The property was in a good quiet location, albeit a little further from the seafront than anticipated, plus it is uphill to get back. Overall it is an impressive house with very good outside facilities.

Fantastic holiday home enjoyed by our multigenerational family. As we had such good weather we used mainly the garden and all it had to offer. The hot tub being a favourite but also the swings. The trolley for taking all our beach equipment down to the beach to set up camp was a real gem.
