The house is well equipped and maintained, but minor issues such as a sticking lock, broken toaster, hot water limitations, and a gate that does not close were mentioned.

Providing spacious and well-furnished holiday accommodation for larger families or groups of friends, Rosedene really is a home away from home. This detached property, built in 2018, has four bedrooms and a family bathroom, which features a wonderful freestanding bath, on the ground floor. One of the doubles offers its own en-suite shower room and toilet, providing facilities all on the same level for less mobile guests. One of the twin rooms is also equipped with a PlayStation 4 games console for younger guests to enjoy.
On the upper level is the pièce de résistance, a strikingly spacious master bedroom which is flooded with natural light from the glass wall that extends right across the width of the room. Again, it is accompanied by its own en-suite shower room.
The garden features a patio area, ideal for sitting out, relaxing on the garden furniture and soaking up the great weather the Isle of Wight provides. The garden is ideal for the children to play out and stay entertained. Off road parking is provided for up to five cars, and the garage within the grounds can also be used to store bicycles.
The island has become a real hot spot for cycling enthusiasts, with a choice of challenging off road bridleways, peaceful byways and level, purpose-made tracks running along its former railway lines. Cycle to the famous Needles landmark at Alum Bay, with its coloured sand cliffs and chairlift to the beach, or take on the full round the island route which is 66 miles long, and is used for the annual Isle of Wight Randonnee. Travel along the route at a more leisurely pace, and along the way you will find numerous restaurants, pubs and cafés serving tasty local produce amongst the quaint villages and towns.
Colwell Bay has a reputation as being one of the cleanest beaches on the Isle of Wight and is also one of the most popular too. If you are keen to try water sports during your stay, this is the place to get started. The pretty promenade stretches all the way along to neighbouring Totland Bay, and it makes the perfect place for a stroll as the sun begins to fade in the distance. One of the biggest draws of Colwell Bay is its beachside café/restaurant, which welcomes visitors into the shade where they can enjoy hot food and drink with a view of the sea.
Outdoor pursuits on the island are well catered for and include horse riding, fishing, cycling, paragliding, water sports and golf. There are numerous attractions to discover for all ages. Visit Queen Victoria’s favourite holiday residence, Osborne House and its gardens, Blackgang Chine, the oldest themed attraction in the UK, Ventnor Botanical Gardens, Tapnell Farm Park, Carisbrooke Castle or the sailing towns of Yarmouth and Cowes. Whatever you decide, the Isle of Wight has plenty to offer. Beach 150 yards. Shop ½ mile, pub and restaurant 170 yards.

5 Star property with 2 star furnishings and 0 stars customer service.Building absolutely first class but furnishings purchased from low cost retailers (thin pillows, uncomfortable seating, sticking lock, busted toaster all logged in breakages book) but garden furniture top notch.Other than contacting us to agree codes for accessing the property didn’t contact us and failed to respond to our message about checking out.Above all take a dated video of the property showing the property is in good order.We were contacted after we left the property to say we broke a footstall (splayed legs) and would update us with the cost.Didn’t ask us what happened or check his breakages book where this entered as broken in the last month.Top class property and location and would have retuned next year barring this.

5 times we've stayed here and it never fails to suit us fine. A few more glasses would be good! Beds are comfy and the house is very close to Colwell Bay which is lovely for kids. We all like the modern decor and the space.

Lovely spacious well equipped house in a fantastic location. Our family of 8 (aged 4 to 73 years) had a great week's holiday and were blessed with good weather. Really appreciated the welcome pack and the beach kit we found in the garage! One minor criticism - the duvets were all too heavy for the summer months. Maybe a choice of lighter weight ones could be provided in wardrobes/upstairs storage room.
