For a range of amenities the hamlet of Wootton can be reached within a 5-minute drive, alternatively the popular seaside town of Ryde is a 10-minute drive away. Ryde is the largest town on the island and boasts miles of golden sandy beaches and an abundance of shops, restaurants, bars and attractions. If visiting towards the end of summer, be sure to catch the carnival. The town holds the oldest carnival in the UK, when floats from all over the island come together to create the biggest, brightest spectacle of the year.

We found the only problem was the stairs because of our age . For younger people it would be perfect it was lovely they thought of everything but we enjoyed our holiday.

A relaxing week. Lovely views from the balcony/lounge. Very clean. Beds comfortable. Lacked somewhere to stroll to other than the woodmakers arms which entailed walking along a narrow rd with no path. Also lacked a comprehensive information folder detailing island attractions and more of a variety of dine-out places. If these were addressed we would have given it 5 out of 5.

Beautiful holiday home in a lovely location. Filled with everything we might need such as fans, torch, hairdryer etc. We also appreciated the milk and chocolate in the fridge with tea and coffee provided. The house is beautifully decorated and my favourite room was the lounge upstairs with beautiful views. The only thing that made it not perfect, was that the outdoor seating area is directly next to the owners house and so we didn't use this area as we had planned. Otherwise, a gorgeous family holiday home.
