Michael
The property is clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The owners are friendly, helpful and unintrusive. The property is ideally situated for a short walk, along the common with fabulous views, into Yarmouth for the shops, pubs and cafes. We will miss our evening stroll along the waterfront! We will definitely be back for another stay in the future! Highly recommended.

The owners Inez & Andrew along with their boys are there if you need them, what a lovely family. Itâs on the main costal road but you wouldnât know with the quiet patio area and view at the back with so many lovely birds. There is also a washing machine & dishwasher not mentioned in the listing. Yarmouth is within walking distance where you will find most of what you need, if not Freshwater is a short drive with larger shops and you are only a 30 minute drive from Newport. We would recommend Windy Ridge and would not hesitate to return.
