A top quality spacious modern self catering unit in an ideal location in the centre of the island. It’s close to Newport with its supermarkets and shops. It has an enclosed real garden for children and dogs to play in. It faces beautiful downland.

We had a great holiday, the house is lovely and the views are amazing. For us we definitely needed to use the car as we had a wheelchair user and older children, but the bus went past the house and it was only about 50 yards until you reached the footpath. We used the bbq, which was an added bonus! If we ever come back to the Isle of Wight would definitely stay here again.

Great house in a lovely position. The house was very clean and we had an opportunity to use the BBQ on a couple of occasions in the spacious garden. Would book again in the future.
