  No 5 Old Church is a beautiful apartment, decorated to a very high standard and very well equipped and maintained.

  We had a very relaxing enjoyable stay in this property. The rooms are spacious for 4 guests, and having an en suite and separate bathroom is great for 4 adults staying in this property. There is one shower cubicle and the main bathroom has a roll top bath with shower attachment on the bath. We found the king size and super king beds very comfortable and slept well. It was handy having a dishwasher and washing machine and there were enough tablets for both machines for two washes. Thank you for the welcome pack of milk, water, and other treats this was much appreciated. The apartment also has an iron, board and hairdryer. If you like bath sheet size towels take your own but two towels per adult are provided. The apartment is located a five minute walk up the hill from the main high street and opposite the Royal Legion club - handy tip to locate it when you drive down into the town on arrival - as said in the description there is limited parking directly across the road which is free and we managed to park there 3 days out of seven otherwise there is a car park at the bottom of the hill in the town a short walk away where we parked overnight the rest of the time - if you struggle mobility wise this could be an issue ..as might the steps into the property and up the stairs to the first floor. It wasn’t a problem for us and the town is literally down the hill. There’s a handy Co-op and Tesco Express five mins walk down the hill. Highly recommend staying here in this property thank you for a wonderful stay …

  The best part about the apartment was the choice of decor.

  It was tastefully done, comfortable and there was nothing that we missed. Everything right from milk, bread, short bread was kept by the owner before we reached and was a delightful welcome. The apolstry looked like it was tastefully done and picked up. There was no interference from anyone around either and added plus it was at a walkable distance from the beach. The main thing that the building lacked was in the design of the house. The roof is low on the top floor and stoops down on the ends causing us to bump our heads on it everytime we wanted to pick up something from the floor. Second thing was the stairs, they are every small. If you are slightly bigger like my husband, it will be difficult to walk around them. In fact he had a nasty fall during the last night that we were leaving and had to be given a first aid. So if you have young children who are not big enough to be careful around the stairs or are of bigger built you might want to look at this as a tip to be careful about. Having said that the owner also had a first aid kit which came handy during the fall. It was a delightful house and would have been better had the design of the house a bit more practical for families.

  Overall we had a lovely stay here.

  The cottage was clean, beds comfy and all the extras you would need like hand wash, toilet paper, dish cloth, washing up liquid etc. There were also fans provided for each bedroom which was a bonus in the heat. We stayed as a family of four with a 9 year old and 2 year old and one of the main reasons we booked Munday Cottage was because it was advertised that there was a play area located on the site which the cottage was on- West Bay holiday park. However on exploring the site on arrival we were met with a building site in place of the playground and an additional parking area where the tennis courts were advertised through the photos on Sykes website. When I contacted the owner they said that they had told Sykes to remove this inaccurate information but even while we were there these two features were still being advertised on their page. It really was disappointing and my son was disappointed too. The site itself too didn't have many people staying on it. I would say if you are a family with young children this probably isn't the place for you but as a couple or family with older children then it's a lovely quiet corner of the west of the island from which to explore.

  We arrived to find we had no hot water or heating.

  When I rang the owner she nonchalantly told me the boiler wasn't working, a plumber had been out the day before (Sunday) and a part was ordered, to arrive Tues/Wed. By Thurs AM, after little communication, I rang Sykes who gave the owner until 3pm to resolve the situation. The boiler was fixed shortly before 3. That, along with unhealthy looking pans, kettle, (photos sent to Sykes) shower cubicle in need of a good scrub/regrout and an uncomfortable old sofa, certainly put a dampener on our week. Then I came home to see the previous occupant had also had problems with the heating throughout his stay, with no hot water the last couple of days. Booking.com has a review from July, detailing similar problems. A one time offer of £109 compensation was offered by the owner which doesn't cover the 3 nights with no boiler. I have not yet received a response from Sykes as to how she came to this amount. There are other properties at this site which I am told are in excellent condition, and only a 20 minute walk from the quaint seaside village of Yarmouth which is worth a visit.

  I took my 3 young children on a short break during the half term week in October.

  We all had a wonderful time at The Nab House! It was beautiful. It had a great layout for families as you could see the all the living areas downstairs. I could easily keep an eye on the children while I cooked etc. The bedrooms were also fantastic! There was great flexibility with the rooms and an extra sofa bed in a room off the twin so all my children could sleep together if they wanted to. It was a few minutes walk for the beach. The beach was brilliant and we spent a long time exploring and looking at the RNLI station. It was Halloween while we were there so we went trick or treating and I found the community very friendly. I felt this property was very good value for money as it was well situated and well equipped with plenty of parking. We went to sandown a few times and black gang chine. All within easy reach of the property. I would return to this property without a doubt. It was one of the best properties we’ve stayed in. I totally recommend The Nab House. Thank you for such a pleasant stay. Hopefully we will see you again soon. :)
