We found the cottage’s in very good condition and lots of room. Surrounding very good. We found the staff in the hotel brilliant fantastic breakfast in the morning. A good central place for us golfers. Over all 10 out of 10.
My family and I looked forward to returning to Church house this summer and it didn’t disappoint. It’s a fabulous location in beautiful Ventnor. It’s truly a slice of paradise from the stunning house with beautiful homely touches, to the gorgeous idillic private garden and the fabulous walk down to the sea passing through the woodland flowers and stream. We love the Isle of Wight as there is so much to do for any age no matter what the weather. My children look forward to staying here and having their own bedrooms is a bonus. We find church house a relaxing base for us to all unwind and enj...more
This house was ideal for our family of 14. Every bedroom had an en suite which was ideal with young children. The house has been beautifully decorated and maintained and the gardens were lovely and child friendly. The large professional kitchen was easy to use and had everything we could have needed. The dining room comfortably seated us all. We could not fault anything at all and were all sad to get to the end of our stay here.
The apartment is lovely, well appointed and comfortable. The weather was really chilly when we arrived but the heating was easy to change and we were soon very cosy. The beds were lovely with gorgeous bedding so we slept really well. The sitting room provided comfortable seating and a terrific TV, when we got home and wanted to relax. Plenty of equipment if you wanted to cook, although we did not, other than breakfast. Although there is no view from the apartment itself, it is literally yards round the main house to the sea front. Walking in either direction along flat paths (or on the beach...more
I arranged this for my family from Wales, they were so impressed having stayed there 5 years ago but were very happy once again as it has now been updated and was amazing.
We stayed at the birdham as we were unable to move into our new home just yet. We were a couple with two dogs and our stay was wonderful. The cottages are located behind the pub however there are no issues around noise whatsoever. There is also a lovely grassy area for dogs or kids to play. Parking is plentiful and the cottages really are a home away from home. They were stocked with everything you could need for your stay including dishwasher, washing machine, drying racks, cooking utensils etc. we highly recommend staying here!
We really enjoyed our stay in Bembridge at Harbour View. Plenty of rooms and space, extremely well stocked kitchen with plenty of everything. Very comfortable beds and very clean. Two ample bathrooms. Ray nearby was so helpful and knows the area well. Great value for money and in such a perfect position.
From the moment we arrived we received 5* treatment. Yasmin was warm and welcoming. Nothing was too much hassle. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch. The lodge was very clean and cosy, and beds super comfortable. There were lots of animals on the farm and Yasmin spent an hour of her time showing us round and allowing our son to feed them. The views are outstanding and location perfect for exploring the IOW. Yasmin, thank you so much. We will return. The Mcleans
This was a return visit for us, having stayed here the previous year. The location was ideal for us, only a few minutes walk into Shanklin town, and a 5 minute drive to the esplanade. A good base for visiting all the other attractions on the island too. The only minor disappointment, which has nothing to do with the accomodation, is that due to coastal erosion, the footpath steps down to the beach are closed due to landslip. I cannot see this being repaired any time soon, if at all.. Apart from this, the accomodation is very spacious for our part of 4 adults. We only used the kitchen facili...more
Ideal position in St Helens village right by corner shop. Very comfy cottage with everything needed.
On arrival the appearance was just as lovely as the photos. Very secure entrance, the stairways were clean and fresh. The books and games were a nice touch. When we got into the apartment it was a wow moment for sure. Obviously recently renovated, amazing views from the rooms. Kitchen well equipped with everything we needed. The beds and sofas were comfy. But the balconies were just awesome. Waking up to the most sensational sunrises, then sitting on the balcony with a cuppa, watching dolphins in the bay are memories for life. Having bars very close by was lovely, the food and drink were great...more
Visited many times and always perfect for our requirements. A nice distance from the beach and the village.
Perfect break for my mother for her 80th birthday and Mother's day..Facilities where excellent, The view of the sea was beautiful .
We were on the island for the festival and so weren’t there for sightseeing or the beach. But a great location on a lovely beach. It is a good sized apartment and very comfortable for us.
The host was very welcoming and always contactable. The apartment was spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. Very clean and airy spaces. Lovely back drop to the rear of the property and outside space to relax in. To the front, a designated car park space makes coming and going easy.
The Beach House exceeded all expectations. Extremely clean, spacious and fully stocked with everything you need. The house is furnished to a very high standard and looks beautiful inside. Excellently located right on the sea front in Ventnor, the view from the balcony in the mornings is amazing. Close to some great restaurants, Smoking Lobster is a must and the Spyglass Inn is the perfect local pub! Has it's own private driveway, which is useful. Also have to mention the service received from Island Holiday Homes, Eliese in particular was brilliant. All questions and queries answered when need...more
It was a lovely apartment, bright & clean, good facilities, nice balcony to sit on, and close to village centre so walkable to shops, cafes & pubs.
The property owners were kind, thoughtful and very helpful with any queries and left a generous and thoughtful welcome gift in our holiday home. As soon as we entered we found the home was spacious, light and with plenty of space for our family. Each room was clean, tidy and perfectly made up. All appliances worked well and WiFi was available too. Porches at each end of the property were just perfect for returning from days out and being able to set down buckets of fossils, shells, seaglass or just shopping bags. The garden was large and beautiful with plenty of space for my childr...more
We've just come home after a lovely stay. The apartment was beautiful and spotless. We had all the equipment we needed, and instructions, when required were clear in the information folder. The beds were comfortable with luxurious linen. The staff were very helpful with a couple of queries I had and replied to messages promptly. Access to the bus route is ideal, with a stop at the end of the road. We used it several times to get around the island. I would definitely recommend this property for its location close to Shanklin Old Village and the Chine and easy access to the rest of the islan...more
Our 6th visit to Highlands and once again a great stay. Lovely apartment with everything you need and great views of the bay.
Recently completed a stay at the Kenmore Cottage. Overall, I would recommend this property and also stay again. Here are my observations: Pros: - Huge property with lots of large rooms. All 3 bedrooms are a great size as is the main bathroom - Has everything you would need for a stay from appliances through to essential kitchen and living items (chopping boards, mini scales, iron, etc) - Room for 2 cars to park at the rear of the property - An abundance of games (board and Nintendo Wii) and DVDs to choose from - Its very clean and the paintwork looks fresh - Located 10 mins walk from th...more
Thanks so much for letting me stay in your lovely home. The island specific artwork in the house is a lovely touch, as was the local cheese treats left for me in the fridge! What a great touch. The location is perfect, with a gorgeous walk down to a beautiful beach and a great ramble to such a cute village, with everything I needed.
A great property with wonderful views You need to like and are able to walk up hill as apartment at top of steep hill Comfortable and spacious Think it could do with some new frying pans Only crtiisim is the television Too many buttons and very slow We don’t watch a lot but if you do a bit of nuisance
We have had an amazing stay here. There was everything you could need and more. The area is quite quiet and the neighbours we met are very friendly. The house is very comfortable and there were instructions left for everything which is a brilliant help. It’s definitely somewhere I would recommend.
Very comfortable for a short stay, however the heating and hot water did not work on the first day and when contacting the out of office contact number we only got through to a voicemail which then went to an answerphone where we couldn't leave a message. Problem was sorted the next day, then the heating stopped working again on the fourth day.
We stayed for 65 nights as we needed a short term let. The flat had everything you needed and was modern , clean and in a lovely location.
Just returned from another stay at Mole Cottage. And from the guest book we are not the only multi-returners! Excellent location and so peaceful - with badgers visiting every evening. Really lovely - already booked next year. Thank you to Emma for another super stay.
Spent two very sunny weeks at the Moorings! Having the garden to sit out for morning coffee and lunch was so peaceful and private. Moorings is a charming, comfortable and clean home. St Helens is a beautiful location with easy access to lovely walks on the beach and the Duver. The village is well served by local pubs (The Vine Inn & Steve’s Bar), cafes and a village grocery shop. I highly recommend a stay to any island visitors.
This lovely holiday home is well situated, in a peaceful area of the island and worked as the perfect base for our stay. There was also plenty of space for children to run around. Jamestown 2 is well equipped, and it was lovely to come "home" at the end of our days out to relax. The only addition we would suggest is some fans for the rooms - the nights were quite warm and this would have made it more comfortable for sleep. The team were helpful when I called to check accessibility for our daughter who had surgery a couple of weeks before our trip and in arranging our ferry travel too. Th...more
Pete's place is in a lovely quiet street, in a great location in Carisbrooke just outside Newport, with off street parking which was much appreciated. The house was very clean, well equipped and decorated. We had plenty of space and everything for a comfortable stay. We would stay again and recommend to others. Pete was an excellent host.
We really enjoyed our stay at The Overlook. The property was clean and well-presented with lovely artwork. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed using the outside areas which have amazing views and it is conveniently located for the town which has a great variety of places to eat. We will definitely recommend it to family and friends and look forward to returning!
We stayed at woodside cottage in April with my daughter and her partner and 2 children.The house is lovely and so well equipt with everything you could possibly need.The children age 6 and 4 loved the garden which had a playhouse and a slide.Perfect location for visiting the island.
perfect place to stay for the IOW festival - 30 mins drive into Newport but it was nice to go back to peace and quiet. Few cobwebs and mirrors were very smeary but apart from that, house was perfectly adequate.
Hope House is one of the best kitted out houses that we've rented, it really is a home from home. The kitchen is well kitted out with absolutely everything anyone could need to cook anything from a simple snack to a full blown meal. The house is clean and extremely comfortable with a nice sized lounge and small outside seating area. Beds are comfortable with additional fans, heaters, blankets to allow for every individual need. Location is great for East Cowes, a short minute or so walk down to the chain ferry for getting into the main town of Cowes. Property has an off road parking space wh...more
Good location great kitchen well equipped good space maybe could update large bedroom furniture apart water leak at front of cottage while we were there but did not need to use front door used back entrance would stay again
Well equipped property, clean, comfortable and spacious. Plenty of parking. Quiet with Lovely surroundings. Easy access to the village and surrounding areas to visit.
A very nice location with amazing views. There is public transport nearby but having a car makes it much easier. Richard was a very welcoming host. Thank you.
After arriving at the property - we had a little trouble - we locked ourselves out! We phoned the help line and very promptly it was all taken care of. Was very impressed with how efficient Island Holiday Homes are and the housekeeper was lovely. The home was beautiful and had been modernised nicely. The beds were huge and very comfortable. The only thing that we struggled with was sharing one bathroom with 5 people but I missed that when reading the listing. There were a couple of bits that needed updating like the kitchenware - pots and pans mainly- but overall everything was very functiona...more
This is the second time of staying in The Lodge, it has everything that you need, plus the Hot Tub, which comes in useful after a hard days travelling about. Its so easy to get to everywhere on the Island and Ryde is a perfect location.
Beautiful views from the front and the back of this property. Comfy and warm. Upstairs bedroom not really as good as the 2 on the ground floor. Kitchen facilities excellent, with nice dining room, again lovely views both ends. Well equipped. Off road parking for my car. Convenient for a bus stop, with very good services all round island.
Our 3rd stay here and it’s just as good as the first time we stayed. Pointe South is a comfortable home with plenty of extra touches that truly make it a home from home. Lovely views over the sea, only a short walk into town with everything the island has to offer either a short drive or bus ride away.
A Scandinavian style timber framed house with garden leading directly to the beach offers almost all you would want. It has large rooms and is very well equipped except for a couple of items. The kitchen had no oven glove resulting in several burns to hands and no carving dish. The bedrooms has no chairs and there are no coat hooks anywhere. The owner apparently considers it unnecessary to provide toiler paper for the whole week, which is rather penny pinching for a house where the weekly rent is £3,000 plus. Despite cold winter weather the house was nice and warm although the heated towe...more
Hope Cottage was perfect for our family holiday. Great accommodation in an ideal location. Rooms were beautiful and ideally layed out to suit a large family. The kitchen was amazing and had everything you could possibly need. The children had a large garden to play in which they really enjoyed. We will certainly be staying here again. Thank you so much for a great stay.
Villa Amanti had all we needed for a memorable family holiday. A beautiful character building on Ventnor seafront. The interier was spacious and very clean. Linen,towels and housekeeping items were all to a high standard. The kitchen was fully fitted out and had every utensil you could possibly need. Each bedroom had its own bathroom, one with a shower, one with a bath. The area around the Villa was very quiet at night and wow what a view to wake up to ! May I recommend one improvement - the English speaking TV channels are very limited and the addition of Sky channels with sport would make ...more
My partner and I stayed at the Willows for 1 week. To be honest, we didn’t want to leave as it was so homely. We were left to our own devices, but they were on hand if we needed them!
We had a lovely 2weeks I the chalet it was spotlessly clean. Great views and very peaceful spot We would definitely stay there again.
House is lovely and clean with everything you need. Grass was very long this time but I assume due to weather this has been hard to sort. House really needs an info book like other properties have. This needs to include the hidden cutlery drawer, heating, emergency contacts (I’m aware this is on emails but useful to have in a folder) and could also include bin timetable and instructions for them to be put out as these were very full upon our arrival. Very minor things mentioned above it is a lovely house to stay in
Lovely apartment and location superb. Very clean could not have wished for a more brilliant apartment .
We stayed early May as a group of 6 (4 adults, 1 child and a dog) and had a wonderful week. The house was easy to find, in a nice quiet road and within 10 mins walk to the beach/15 mins walk to the town. Bus stop on route 8 directly outside the house takes you to Ryde. Major shops within 15 mins drive. We would gladly book this house again next time we come to the island! Had a fantastic time and it was a great base. Garden was fully secure which gave us peace of mind with a toddler and dog too.
We visted Kipper cottage for my husbands 60th birthday with our two children. As soon as we entered, we felt at home, light, spacious and everything we needed was there! Kitchen was very well equipped and the rooms were a very good size, clean, tidy and ensuites to both, showers and beds both excellent. The cottage is all on ground level with balconies to both bedrooms, overlooking the beautiful back garden and creek, a hill with path leads down to the lovely summerhouse and the creek to watch the boats and nature. Red squirrels even came to visit! We will definitely return as didnt w...more
The location was excellent, we love Shanklin with the view of the sea. The apartment was very comfortable, with the kitchen having just the right amount of appliances etc. We have mentioned personally that for those guests staying for 2 weeks, arrangements for a change of bedding could be in place at the onset of stay. As for us , we had to request a change midway of our stay. We were very handy for a variety of restaurants, cafes etc & the beach front was very clean. We found that although busy during the day & evening, the location was quiet for late evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed our holid...more
Loved staying here - the third time in 3 years - and we'll be back. Thanks so much for being helpful with everything and giving us somewhere lovely to stay!
I’ve been here for the second time now. Beautiful appartement with everything you need. It is fully equipped. Situated at a lovely beach with the most wonderful view at the sea and cliffs. Hope to stay here next year again.
The bungalow was spotless and had plenty of equipment. The photo does not show how extremely steep access is. Also the shower room and toilet were much to small they it would have been better to have been knocked into 1 room. Closing 1 door off and removing 1 sink. If you were on the larger size you would not be able to shut doors. The other rooms were fine. The flowers and shortbread biscuits were a lovely touch.
The Sanctuary provides everything you'll need for a relaxing, comfortable stay..& more! From the welcoming complimentary bottle of wine & traditional IOW shortbread, to the fantastic roof top garden views! The thoughtful simple caring touches really help, such as the WiFi passwords & emergency contacts & all info set out in the folder..no guesswork & looking up needed! the leaflets on places to visit, the well stocked & labelled kitchen - items such as food bags, cling film & tin foil, washing up & hand wash (provided in all bathrooms too + loo tolls), washing machine & dishwasher detergents, ...more
We have just returned from a wonderful week at Rofford Lodge. Everything we could possibly need was provided for. Lovely peaceful setting with a great garden that our dog loved. Only a short walk to Yarmouth centre , either along the river Yar or along the promenade. Thank you for a lovely stay , we look forward to returning soon.
A lovely homely feel. Everything and everyone catered for. An enjoyable time was had by all. Thank you
We had a lovely stay, The moment we opened the door and walked in. The property was spotlessly clean and tidy and everything we needed is provided for our small family. We were visiting the island from living abroad and this was a first time back to UK for 18months. The property is just around the corner from my parents. So, we had a lovely family Christmas for the first time for many years. The house was very warm and cozy, and was great for our winter break. We are planning to return again in the summer. So, there are more places open for us to take the kids too in the better weather....more
I was on a special break with my daughter Julia and her husband Sean as I have mobility problems I had not been home for two years. We visited Ventnor where I was born and Bonchurch where we had lived. Met my cousins. And toured the Island. Lavender Cotttage was perfect cosy, clean comfortable and well maintained.thank you.
Very comfy and well equipped. Owner was very obliging re entry time. Generous welcome goodies - thank you very much!
Lovely family home that suited four generations. Enjoyed pool and garden very much. Good bedding especially pillows and summer quilts. Liked how rooms open into each other but able to sit together or separately as needed. Short stroll to beach or village. Good parking. Would come back again!
Grove Cottage is superbly located on the road into the town of Yarmouth and is very convenient for accessing retail outlets, pubs, and restaurants. It's old, and that's its charm. It's well-appointed, and that's good for modern living. It has a lovely large garden with shade and full sun. It has parking. Neil, Jackie, Freya and our Greyhound Hamish love this cottage and are looking forward to returning soon.
Lovely apartment with quality period furnishings. Thoughtfully well equipped with a home from home appeal. Location perfect for coastal walks and just a short walk into town. Hope to return again soon.
Excellent condition, clearly recently refurbished to a high standard. Super clean. Very spacious with lots of spare space in living room for kids to play etc. Very comfortable beds. Great size garden with good outdoor furniture to use. Getting in was easy via lockbox. Improvements? Welcome pack not emailed or present in house. Keys in a random bowl in kitchen drawer so hard to find. Multiple keys unlabelled so difficult to work out what was for what. No hand towels provided so no towel in downstairs loo or kitchen (only advised to bring beach towels). Option to have more pillows would...more
A really lovely comfortable cottage in a great location, 5 min walk to mini shop that has everything you need. Beach is about a 20 min walk or 5 mins by car with free parking spaces, though not that many spaces. Super cafe at the beach, looking down onto the pebbles and sand. Added bonus of belonging to The Birdham Hotel and at extra cost you can simply walk round for breakfast in the morning, or any meals in you don't fancy cooking. Bembridge is a beautiful part of the island. I was unlucky to have a horse riding accident whilst away , and spent four days in hospital. So when I cam...more
The location in St Helens was convenient for travelling by car to many of the visitor attractions and to/from the ferry terminal at Fishbourne. However, Helms House is on a surprisingly busy road which made the parking space quite difficult to enter and leave, especially squeezing in 2 cars. There was a lot of traffic noise late at night and in the early morning (a noisy motorbike regularly roared past at about 5.45 am!) - this was accentuated because the windows needed to be open due to the hot weather. The fan that was provided in the house unfortunately did not work. The holiday house was r...more
The lodge is in a lovely setting but unfortunately there is no bus service that goes there. The taxi companies didn't really want to go there either. The place was clean but you could tell dogs had been there. Not being a dog owner it's not necessarily what you want! I you have dogs it's perfect! The beds unfortunately were very uncomfortable. They provided all cleaning products that were eco due to the treatment works which I thought was very good and they had left some basics for us like bread butter milk & cookies which i thought was a really nice touch.
This beautiful old house was the perfect place for 3 families to gather. The garden and games room provided lots of entertainment. The kitchen was a great hub for everyone to gather and had so much equipment and dishes etc. Having a separate lounge and another dining room was great for the kids to be able to play board games and chill out. The fireplace in the other lounge was lovely on a spring evening when the temperature dropped. The house was very cosy and the beds were very comfortable. The house is old so some of the decoration was a tired and the house a bit dusty. We had lots of...more
Sea Grove was the perfect place to stay in Ventnor. The place was only a short walk from the gardens (highly recommend the putting) and around a 10 minute walk to the beach. It was nice and quiet there with plenty of space and parking! Would definitely stay there again when visiting Ventnor. However, they do not provide towels so make sure to bring some as we didn't!
We had a lovely stay at The Vine Cottage. The location is great and the rooms and décor are very well done — stylish, comfortable, and clearly thought through. However, there were a few issues worth mentioning for future guests. There is no on-site parking, The main issue was the heating. Unfortunately, the rooms didn’t warm up properly, particularly the back room, which was extremely cold. It reached the point where we had to buy a portable heater just to make the space usable. The only way to get any warmth was to have the heating set to 30°C all day, which still didn’t fully resolve t...more
This property is in a good location close to the ferry terminal which is around 2 miles away. It is quite small but ideal for a couple, it does sleep 4 but I wouldn't recommend it unless you are only using it to sleep, there are no wardrobes and very little hanging space. Hot water is very limited so if you like a bath you'll get 2 inches of hot water and that's it, the shower upstairs is electric so no issues there. The location is quiet however there is quite a bit of noise from the kids at little Canada on occasions but if you're out all day then no problem, the noise tends to quieten down ...more
Absolutely fantastic - if you want to get away from it all and just breathe for a while then this is the place for you - wonderful would highly recommend
We had a lovely stay. The cottage was sweet and had everything we needed. It was very convenient for walking into the town and to the coast path. Island Holiday Homes were extremely helpful to deal with.
Been here twice now, first time with friend and this time with family who all enjoyed the house, its location very near to a beach, the local pub and nowhere is further than an hours drive away.
The apartment is well presented & maintained. Lovely large double bedroom. Large lounge diner very good size. Kitchen is clean & all utensils for cooking are adequate. The only issue I had is sometimes I could hear people at night in the street. Busy road with customers visiting takeaway & local shop. The lift to the beach is 10 min walk away.
From the outside you would never realise the beauty and space behind the front door. Seven of us stayed for xmas and the space available was brilliant; especially the main living area. For once this holiday home really did have a kitchen with everthing you need! Only slight negative was the mattresses were a little soft (but that is just preference).
Kildare, a 17th-century workhouse located in the lovely village of Niton, was the perfect base for our family holiday. Having grown up on the Island, it was a real joy to return and stay somewhere that made the most of the area’s natural beauty—especially with coastal walks and the sea a short walk from the doorstep. The house itself is a wonderful blend of old and new. It has a well-equipped kitchen, a cute garden, and a large dining room that worked perfectly for our group. Michael, the host, was fantastic—friendly, helpful, and informative. He took the time to explain how to manage the h...more
This house has such potential to be a great holiday home - the location is wonderful, the rooms are large and layout of the house is fab. However, upon arrival the house had clearly only had a very light clean. There was white dog hair everywhere and we had to clean the bath before using it. The shower tray didn’t drain when using it and there was a strong drainage smell in both bathrooms. The slats on the main bed were broken when we arrived but the agent sent someone to fix it straight away the next day. The velux windows didn’t open in most rooms which made the house stuffy - those windows ...more
We loved rural quiet location and the spacious bungalow. Enjoyed having own sink in room. Only down side was uncomfortable sofas in lounge.
What a beautiful flat! If you want a light-filled, comfortable apartment with absolutely stunning views of the sea and coast from every window, this is a great choice. Beautiful, old imposing building, tastefully furnished, very comfortable beds with lovely fresh linen, great bathroom and kitchen and even a balcony to sit out on. It's lovely & quite and very close to Shanklin but is up a very steep hill so a car is definitely recommended. Great customer service from Island Holiday Homes. The roller blind in the main double bedroom needs repairing, and a second tea-towel would be great, oth...more
We had a great week, and will definitely book again. Location was excellent. Just a short stroll (be it hilly one but that's Ventnor) to the town centre. Lovely walks in the park and coastal path.
Brooks Close is a great place to stay in Bembridge. The house is 2 mins from the beach, its dog friendly and is well set up to support dogs enjoying the beach. The beds all have good mattresses on then so are comfortable. The conservatory is great for most of the time, but the living room stays wonderfully cool in hot weather.
Lovely little cottage everything you need for a comfortable stay, very quiet. We parked in the wheelers car park. Walk down to the sea is down steps and about 10 minutes walk along to the main beach with a few cafes and restaurants. Overall very comfortable and nice to be able to walk to a tesco and a few shops.
Lovely big house for multi generational. Most of house is in good condition but the lower ground floor needs some maintenance. Had a humidifier in the bedroom because of the damp and it had to be emptied every day. My clothes felt cold and damp. The kitchen was supposed to have been renovated this year but has not happened and the shower room needs an upgrade as not very pleasant. The garden was lovely but again lacked maintenance as the bushes needed cutting back and grass wanted cutting. Upstairs bedrooms and shower room were very nice and beds very comfortable. The toilet and utility room o...more
had a lovely week in this property, was so relaxing we wished we had booked another week. it may not be a modern property but it had all you would need, with lovely walks from the property. only let down for us was the fact the garden hedge needed cutting back about 1.5 feet so you can see the view when seated.
The apartment itself was good, the site dismal!! The view shown is from the bedrooms. The frontage/entrance is of an abandoned, overgrown and litter strewn building site! The restaurant still being advertised is long since closed. Very disappointed and feel the advertising is dishonest.
We had a great stay at this property - the view is outstanding as well as the location - there is a steep walk back up it but it’s fine if you able fairly fit. The home felt comfortable, shower good and bed comfy - lots of facilities if you wanted to cook - I would highly recommend :)
I’m afraid although the pine bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable, and there was plenty of furniture in all the rooms, I have to agree with all points that Maureen made that attended in June 2025. The path leading up to the front door is a very bad trip hazard by the huge bush. The one slab stands at least 3 inches above the others. There is no outside light either so you have to be very careful in the dark. The musty smell blew us back when we first opened the door, but after leaving all the windows open for a few days, it smelt a bit better. Good job it was windy! There are cobwebs...more
We had a lovely holiday exploring the island and the Napier Apartment is in a perfect location. Unfortunately we were disappointed with several aspects, particularly the cleanliness. The apartment is in need of a Deep Clean. The skirting boards, and around the toilet were very dirty. The kitchen rubbish bin was filthy when we removed the bin liner. The net curtain in the dining area needed a good wash. We couldn't see through it and it was difficult to draw back as a it was hooked up into the rusty wire at the top. The microwave was dirty inside. The wooden table was stained. The insides of ...more
