We had a wonderful week, the apartment was spotlessly clean, cosy, peaceful, comfortable and met all our needs. We appreciated the attention to detail, such as excellent WiFi, well equipped kitchen and information about local attractions. The view is spectacular and a great location for keen walkers. We will definitely return.

Unbeatable location, very well appointed apartment, very comfortable and cosy. Amazed at the complete absence of any pet smells given that it is pet-friendly. Spotlessly clean. Very helpful and responsive contact. Great holiday, great cottage. Thank you. Ray & Pauline.

Amazing location. The view was stunning. Just in Alum bay by the Neeedles which we thought was the best place on the island. We stayed a family of 4 and there was plenty of room. The flat was lovely but in need of a refresh. The second bathroom was a bit tired and the equipment was not working optimally.

Had a fabulous time here. Views were spectacular as we're the sunsets. It was like a home from home. Everything you needed was there for you. Perfect location away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to get to everywhere. Perfect location for walking.

The most amazing apartment overlooking the Alum Bay! We loved the view and the feel of this property. It was practically perfect, especially as the Tennyson Down walking path is just outside the property. We stayed for a week and it gave us a great base to explore the Isle of Wight. Some amazing beaches - Freshwater Bay, Colwell Bay and Brook are lRead moreess than 10 minutes away. There are plenty of great restaurants and Highdown Inn is in walking distance. Hide

A lovely, spacious apartment and very comfortable. It's very well equipped and the decor is light and tasteful. Beautifully clean. The property is in a secluded spot and the views from the terrace (facing west) are wonderful - gorgeous sunsets on a couple of evenings. Lovely coastal walk nearby up to Tennyson Monument and then down to The Needles.
