Landward Cottage in Niton, Ventnor, is highly praised for its superb location, exceptional cleanliness, and comfortable accommodation. Guests appreciate the stunning views, peaceful setting, and the thoughtful touches like a welcome hamper. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, making it a recommended stay on the Isle of Wight.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean upon arrival, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable stay. However, a few guests mentioned cleanliness issues, such as grubby bathrooms and cobwebs, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is consistently described as stunning, peaceful, and ideal for a relaxing break with glorious views and nice walks. Its southward-facing aspect provides sunshine throughout the day, enhancing the overall experience.
Guests report the cottage as comfortable, well-appointed, and perfect for a restful holiday. Some guests suggested improvements for a cosier feel and better outdoor furniture, but these are minor compared to the overall comfort enjoyed.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and generous welcome hamper. However, some guests reported maintenance issues such as poor Wi-Fi, ineffective dryers, and the need for better mirrors and outdoor chairs, which affects the score.
The thoughtful gestures, such as the welcome hamper and fresh flowers, are frequently mentioned and appreciated by guests. While these gifts enhance the experience, it is noted that such extras, while delightful, may vary and are not guaranteed.
