It was absolutely spotless . There was everything you could want supplied and the extras were a very nice touch. We are hoping to visit the I.O.W again and would have no hesitation in staying in the cottage again. Thanks for a wonderful visit.

As it's set back from the main road there's not much traffic noise and there's a convenience store 30 seconds away and a chippy. The cottage is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. As I normally cook with gas I was concerned I wouldn't know how to operate the electric hob and oven but the owner went out of her way to provide me with instructions so all was well! The only negatives were the noise from the cold water taps and the slow drainage of water from the bathroom basin. Unlike some holiday lets, there were lots of instruction leaflets available to help the less technical (like us) plus tips on where to eat and places to visit. All in all this is an excellent place to stay.
