The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning its spotless condition and the provision of quality linens and towels.
The location is generally well-regarded for its quietness and views, particularly of Bembridge Airfield. However, some guests noted difficulty in finding the property and concerns about local driving speeds.
Guests find the property very comfortable, highlighting the quality of the beds, sofas, and the overall homely feel. The spaciousness and luxury of the accommodation are also noted.
The property's facilities, such as the kitchen and appliances, are appreciated, but there are some criticisms of the holiday park's amenities, including the swimming pools and entertainment. Some guests also mentioned missing items like oven trays and oven gloves.
Several reviews mention thoughtful extras provided by the owners, such as milk and washing up liquid. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, they are a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

Bembridge, on the Isle of Wight's easternmost point, is considered to be England's largest village. Once an island in it's own right, Bembridge is one of the Isle of Wight's most desirable areas, with a bustling harbour full of pleasure ships and fishing boats heading to and from The Solent. From the dock, you may access peaceful sand and pebble beaches ideal for swimming, beachcombing, and crabbing, as well as kitesurfing. With an award-winning butcher and 'The Best Dressed Crab in Town' in Bembridge harbour, you can sample local produce from the greengrocers, visit the art gallery, and much more.
