  Pros, The annex is really great, well set up.

  The house is very clean and bright, the beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen is well-equipped. cons, One of the two bedrooms upstairs has no wardrobe and no hanging space for clothes, plenty of draws to put things in, I had to hang my clothes in someone else's wardrobe in another room, which is not good. the main bathroom toilet is hard to flush, you need both hands to push the button, no blinds over the window, and cannot use the shower over the bath as there isn't a shower curtain. the other bedroom upstairs has to use the downstairs shower, which has no slip mat, and the floor is very slippery with the tiled floor. The lounge could do with curtains or blinds as the sun shines right into your face through the large windows/ doors, you really needed the option to pull some blinds or curtains over. Parking for 3 cars, well I drove in forward, and when I came out I had to do about a 6-point turn to get out to the road. The road has one side parking only so as you come out onto the street there are cars parked on either side of the drive and you cannot see what is coming down the Road. When our daughter and her husband joined us, having 2 cars in the garden side by side made it even more tricky getting out, and when we went out one day and returned to find a skip in the front garden, it wasn't very helpful, we had no warning that a skip might arrive, we left one car outside. I really don't like leaving reviews like this but I felt that I should point out these things. Oh, and there are Rats in the garden running around with apples in their mouths. Sorry for this part on negative feedback.

  Brilliant family stay at wheatlands, would definitely recommend to others and would absolutely love to return in summer months to take advantage of the garden and the super close beach.

  Arriving at the house it was super clean you could even smell the freshly washed bedding. Not sure if it was all from the owner or some previous guests but there was lots of extra things there, toilet rolls, cleaning sprays, bin bags, dishwasher tabs, tea bags, sugar ect. We stayed for new year and they even had small touches like Christmas decorations up. Loved it. Any minor issues we had was dealt with very promptly and I couldn’t fault that at all. The following is in no way any complaint and would never stop us staying but purely to help for future stays. My only changes would be slightly bigger sofas or extra chair in the living room as 8 of us felt a tad cosy on the sofas, extra space for clothes in the cabin and the downstairs bathroom shower could do with removing some mould build up on tiles, all toilet brush’s to be changed. Id also say there is THREE bathrooms and FOUR toilets. Thanks for a brilliant stay and any help provided we had a great time and I will definitely be positively recommending to others. I’m sure this is a beautiful stay in the summer.

  Lovely property as described.

  Just around the corner from the shingle beach, with a toliet block inc Disabled loo. We stored our bikes under the garden room roof. The Island is good for cycling. Everything we needed. Great having the garden bedroom. Children spent most of their time at the beach or funfair. I was lucky enough to walk the Billy Trail on a mostly dry day. We also visited the Historic Dockyards at Portsmouth. I would recommend this house. Bedrooms upstairs have lots of space, light and bright. If you have early risers ( my chid!) you may want to bring portable blackout blinds. Bedroom blinds block out about 95% of the summer sunlight. Comfy beds. Lovely bath upstairs. Games in cupboard in twin room. Kitchen great plenty of washing up liquid , kitchen roll and basic sundries. Bring own sandwich boxes and foil. We even had a BBQ! Would recommend this fantastic property. Nearest Station Havant about 20 mins drive. Coop a few mins drive or short walk. Lidl 10 mins drive. Thank-you for a lovely holiday.

  A fabulous place to stay - peaceful & quiet surroundings, comfortable beds - definitely recommend.

  An easy short walk to the stoney beach with a lovely circular walk to the Marina. Billy track a super circular walk with great views of the harbour & old railway bridge. The kitchen overall is super, there’s plenty of pots/pans & frying pans but little in the way of casserole dishes/roasting trays big enough to cater for 8. We made do & managed but if you enjoy cooking & plan to cook for your stay, would recommend bringing items you’d normally use. Clever use of magnetic doors to reveal wardrobe & chest of drawers in the spacious upstairs bedroom. A note for the owner - the en suite toilet flush mechanism in the upstairs bedroom with the bath is incredibly hard to use. A sign or note to explain how to make it flush properly would be helpful. In the Annexe, there’s a popping sound from the drain overnight - maybe needs checking out? Not gripes, hopefully just helpful comments to consider. Thanks for making your place available :)

  Thanks very much Chris and Lene for a lovely stay at Wheatlands.

  It was exactly what we were looking for and are definitely considering coming back. We found the space suited our family of six adults plus dachshund to relax in over Christmas. The house is a street away from the beach so we got to walk along the sea every day and we were easily able to bring in supplies from Havant. The place was very clean and nicely done up when we arrived - we really appreciated the decorated tree and the welcome treats - a really nice touch. The kitchen was well equipped to cook our full Christmas dinner and the furniture was comfortable to relax on afterwards. We would definitely recommend it as a lovely place to stay - we didn't want to leave! The only issue we found was the WiFi kept dropping out in the house, probably because of the thick walls. But it worked well in the cabin and the 3 network covers this area well. As said before, definitely considering coming back!
