The cottage was lovely and a short walk to the beach and if you walked along the sea front just round the bend you could see the Needles in the distance. It was a great base from which to explore the Isle of white.
We expected there to be some sort of welcome pack in the cottage but there wasn't so nothing to let us know about the facilities on site, where the bins were located (recycling) local places to eat or shop, places to visitor attractions, how to get to the beach also there was a gate which led to a quicker route to the beach which needed a code which we didn't have and didn't realise this till late in the evening towards the end of our stay.

Friendly place 53 units in all. Clean and comfortable, with spare pillows, cushions for outside chairs, and parking. Very short walk to a lovely quiet beach, though it is Easter, so no doubt much busier in the summer. Good size pool, great temperature water. Our cottage, no 2, was well laid out. Dishwasher and washing machine, though we didn't use either as only one set of crockery and cutlery, so hand washing was easiest. On the west of the island on the edge of a village/small town. We pushed the boat out one night at the 'posh' restaurant, The Hut. Expensive but lovely food and a beautiful venue across to Hurst Castle on the mainland.

The cottage was very nice, very clean, tidy and modern, plenty of room, the kitchen was excellent with everything you need a good size fridge freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and a good size. It was home from home. The swimming pool was a good bonus on the site, great when you have little ones to entertain. Would highly recommend to everyone to stay here.
Was missing a smart tv in the living room or at least a dvd player. If you were staying in for an evening, to chill out with the kids. But that's just being very picky.

Great location. Quiet, a few minutes walk to the sea, close to town for restaurants and supermarkets. Staff were very friendly. Overall the accommodation was very spacious and very nice for the price point, in particular the kitchen was extremely well equipped. The soft play is small but perfectly adequate to entertain toddlers, and seemed reasonably clean. The pool house was very warm!
The mattresses were too soft for adults to sleep on comfortably but fine for the children. The floors of our chalet were pretty dirty on first arriving, with lots of the previous occupant's hair still everywhere. However the bathroom and kitchen had been well cleaned so I found it strange that they hadn't done the floors properly. That was my only real disappointment with the accommodation. The showers in the pool house definitely need some TLC as well but the pool itself was clean.

Really fantastic accodomdation with all the facilities and appliances available. The beds are cosy for good sleep. The price is really reasonalble. Love it. The locatin is perfect for visisting attractions I'm keen on. The swimming pool is lovely and warm. I even learnt how to swim with free style there. The restaurant nearby, the Hut, is delicious with a beautiful sea view of sunset. We'd love to come back again if there's any chance in the future.
The wifi doesn't have any signal at all. It cost all my data during the stay! The telephone for guest service is a bit hard to get connected. The toilet roll and towels are insufficient. Only 1 toilet roll for 3 nights...

Spacious lodge with well equipped kitchen and nicely decorated. Very clean and was impressed with the quality of the bed linen. Set in a lovely location with good access to the beach nearby and felt quite private when sitting in the outdoor space attached to the property.
Very small car parking spaces and quite narrow to drive around. The mattress on the bed was quite firm, so not that comfy for us - but appreciate this is down to personal preference.

Hot tub was brilliant. Bungalow and contents generally brilliant. Huge TV very welcome as World Cup was on! Good toilet roll and the tub of useful stuff (inc 2 DW tabs) very useful! Everything was extremely clean (except when we swapped the sofas to get the comfy one in front of the TV - nobody had been under there for a good while!). Shower is really good. Pool was open and looked nice even though we visited in November but didn't use as we'd paid the bit extra for a hot tub - well worth it! Only 2 of us for 3 nights so we didn't need it, but the fridge freezer is HUGE! For a family the narrow DW would only do one meal. There's a really good and very cheap Chinese take-away in walking distance, or the Indian will deliver. All the staff were polite, friendly and helpful at all times. Walk up to the fort, then take the footpath either way for a nice circular walk around the headland via the beaches either side. The Totland beach has a lovely variety of tiny coloured pebbles.
Size of beds has been commented on before but think they've missed the crux of the problem. Bed is big enough as a double but feels smaller as sagging so both roll into the middle a bit. Suggest double beds need bracing short term, then rolling replacement to more sag resisting Kings. Next doors light shines into the hall of #41 and the glass isn't frosted so a curtain on the front door would be good! No light by the hot tub, but we got by leaving the bedroom curtains open. Water marks from some previous leak on the kitchen ceiling could do with painting over. There's only wi-fi in the reception but we had no problems downloading normal stuff from phone data. Only 2 bed-side lights and no toilet roll holder is liveable with but seems a bit weird.

Well apportioned, comfortable, clean and good space. Hot tub was a lovely bonus. Well located for beaches etc, but the island is so small most places would be well located!
That you are only given a single bath towel each and if you want a hand towel you have to ‘buy’ a towel pack just as you have to ‘buy’ a toilet roll pack if you needed more than one, in a property for 4 people. Literally the RyanAir of holiday chalets. Not a tea towel in sight (and no purchase pack for one 🤣). The hot tub, which was lovely, was set out the back of the chalet in a space comparable only to the exercise yard at HMP Pentonville - brick wall and fencing with not a plant to be seen!!

The bungalows were lovely and modern , 2 lovely sized bedrooms and living area. The kitchen was stocked with all appliances including washing machine and dish washer. The surrounding area is beautifully quiet and love the private entrance to the beach. The bungalow had a private drive too for the car and nice little front garden with furniture to sit in. Loved that towel we’re readily at the property.
The signal wasn’t great , perhaps WiFi could be added
