The main feature we really loved was the view looking out over the solent to the needles. Yes, it could be regarded as a bit dated but it was clean and had everything we needed. If anyone in your party needs Internet access that may be an issue as mobile signal on that site is a bit weak to say the least (there is a site wide wifi but the signal isn't that strong) but to be honest the view far from makes up for that. Would we go back to that specific property ? Yes - no doubt.

We arrived there late Saturday,and she said that nothing could be done till Monday! Fortunately we spent time on Sunday morning and managed to tune it in. However this happened again a few days later. Iâd suggest a new TV, new bedding, and new towels! Very dated decor, needs a major upgrade !!! Small, uncomfortable bed, and thin towels like sandpaper!!! Wouldnât recommend to anyone!!! Have had a lot better for the same price!!!!
