We have enjoyed staying a this home for the last two years, for the convivence of location.

What I have been disappointed with is the lack of basic provisions such as a basic hand wash in the bath rooms, a full toilet roll to start us off, lack of dish washer tablets, and extra pillows in the twin room and no welcome pack even a basic one with a small milk and a couple of tea bags. especially with the cost of accommodation.

We would happily use Island home again to book a stay again, fabulous service, took all the stress out of booking ferry etc

Would you return?
not to this property as it is no longer big enough for our traveling party, but would use island homes again to book a stay.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and have taken note of your comments. We are not in the habit of providing a welcome pack…..however we will ensure that loo rolls etc are adequately provided and that extra pillows will be available in the twin spare room.

Clean and comfortable with everything that might be needed. Convenienty placed for exploring.

Had a lovely stay here even though it was for work.
Clean comfortable house with everything needed, and especially parking.
Well situated for getting to work, getting out and about and also to local facilities.
Nice if limited views of the marina, and a very peaceful setting.
Would definitely stay again if available.

Would you return?
Definitely

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your stay at 28 Anchorage Way. It was a pity it was only for work reasons hopefully next year you will be able to come for a holiday and enjoy the island from Anchorage Way.

Suited us down to the ground.

From the moment we arrived we knew this was going to be a great place to stay. Good parking, south facing garden and inside was perfect for us. Great range of facilities inside, very modern also quality fixtures and fittings. Nice comfy King size bed and lovely soft towels.
We had a great stay on the island we were lucky with the weather though. Lovely Mum and daughter next door who told us some new places to go.

Would you return?
No, but not because of the property. We've been to the island before and feel we want to try elsewhere.

With it's proximity to the ferry port, town, pubs restaurants and coast, this is the perfect place to stay when visiting the Isle of Wight. The house is spotlessly clean, comfortable, homely - the garden is a sun trap and private, and the parking is a bonus. Everything that you could possibly need is provided, whether you are planning on eating out every day or cooking a roast dinner...the house is clearly somebody's much loved and used holiday home, so no expense is spared on the furniture or equipment.

Access was simple and uncomplicated, the photos advertising the property are an excellent representation of the reality. East Cowes was a great place to stay with easy access (via either private or public transport) to all parts of the island from here. Would highly recommend both Island holiday homes and this property.

Great property that's very well equipped. Lovely garden area too. 2 spacious bedrooms and a downstairs loo which wasn't described in our information so was a great bonus. We were attending a sailing event in West Cowes and the chain ferry is quickly accessible from here. It was disappointing though to be able to see East Cowes marina but to be blocked off by a big black iron fence, the walk round to access the marina and the lifeboat pub seemed tedious when you could see if from the house. We had friends staying in the marina so made the walk often. Parking directly in front of the back gate to the property. Big public park behind the house which was great for letting the dog run. Noisy neighbors in the block of flats opposite but not much you can do about them.

The kitchen was fabulously supplied with everything you'd need to cook. Waitrose was also only a 5 minute drive away. Spotlessly clean throughout and great they supplied a hoover so we could do a mid week clean seen as we had a dog with us. Both bedrooms the same size and nice and big.

Would definitely stay again if in the area, thank you!

Everything was lovely. The house had a great feel to it. The house had everything we needed and there was nothing to buy. It was a lovely island and we had a great time.

Very nice property with all modern equipment and well presented. Perfect location with a south facing garden and just a few minutes to the marina and pub overlooking the river.
