What our customers say about their holidays
Dave - Verified booking
We had a lovely week in this great & well equipped house.
We particularly enjoyed the lovely garden, comfortable lounge, the fabulous kitchen and the cool garden room. Thanks to the owners for the milk, biscuits & starter pack that we found waiting for us on arrival - all very helpful! We visited lots of great places including⦠The Garlic Farm, Ryde, Sandown, Shanklin and Shanklin Chine, Monkey Haven, Osborne House, West Wight Alpacas (Walk an Alpaca), Alum Bay and Chair Lift, The Needles, Tolland Bay and Yarmouth. All these places are recommended! We also enjoyed great meals at the Red Lion (Steak & Ale pie especially good), delicious fish n chips from Rainbow Chippy (both of these places are within walking distance of Avalon). A few things to be aware of if staying at Avalon. Parking The drive is steep (c 12 degrees uphill towards the house) you will need a reliable handbrake and a smallish car to be able to park on it safely. Our Captur just fitted - it is c 1.8m wide by just over 4.1m long. Anything longer than this would stick out onto the pavement. Larger cars will need to be parked elsewhere. Rubbish and Recycling You may want to check with owners for latest position but hereâs our understanding following a conversation with the owner in July 2023. A cleaning company collects rubbish from the black wheelie bin only. Although you may find a green wheelie bin marked ârecyclingâ next to it, please ignore it and use only the black bin for all waste including anything potentially recycleable. To recycle anything such as glass, plastics, tins etc, you will need to find public facilities at supermarkets, car parks etc. Stairs These are quite steep and the treads are quite shallow. If like me, you are over 6ft, youâll probably need to duck to come down the stairs without hitting your head. These 3 points are here really to help manage your expectations/planning. Avalon is lovely and quiet, well equipped and convenient in its location. Freshwater has a nice feel and there are some very interesting local shops. We would be happy to stay here again ourselves. We can recommend Avalon as a splendid place to stay for your holiday!

The Barn is sited in a pleasant space and is basically Residential and quiet.
Overall it was generally very clean ie Cooker and Microwave exceptional, bedlinen spotless; likewise towels. Bed in main bedroom very comfortable. I would suggest that a Bath sheet and a Bath towel be provided for each adult along with a hand towel.Also a squegee blade for cleaning the glass shower screen. Shelf / mirror set up over wash hand basin bit of a hazard for banging your head on! Likewise, in the kitchen a supply of hand and tea towels be provided as one tea towel is insufficient for a week's stay. Kitchen has a good array of pans and dishes, it would be good if a few smaller oven proof dishes could be provided when it is only a X2 person occupancy. Some dishes are difficult to reach on the top shelf. A Polypropylene chopping board (Dishwasher safe) as opposed to glass, as glass blunts knives, all knives in the drawer proved this. Understairs cupboard difficult to access for Hoover and mop & bucket, slight damp smell. Sofa's difficult to get out of and are very low. Patio garden could be very pretty but is showing signs of lack of maintenance. Fencing / gate and weeds. A ring binder would be an asset for guests to have all information in one place. Leaflets on places of interest and entertainment, places to eat etc and your refuse/ re-cycling system instead of being in drawers / Notice Board. Also useful telephone numbers of Dentist, Vets etc. Overall a good stay and I hope that the above comments / suggestions are taken as meant, in a constructive way.

The major problem was the steepness of the driveway, and having to reverse in ( owner's suggestion).
As the cottage is just behind the village centre, the limited space on the road was often occupied by shoppers, and on a couple of occasions, we could not even acces the cottage driveway and had to park away from the cottage in an adjoining side street. We did observe that adjoing properties had near level driveways !. The cottage did have everything we needed, but as the only toilet was upstairs, i would certainly think it was not suitable for those with limited mobility. In addition, upper level access was not easy due to differing stair levelsand bathroom access during the night was not easy . A small nightlight with motion sensor would be a good idea as this would be cheaper to run than leaving the hall light on all night. Plus, it could be switched off during the day. Another suggestion would be a child stair gate at the top of the stairs for sfaety reasons when families with younger children stay. A minor niggle - on reading the comments from other visitors to the cottage, we noticed mention of a Welcome Pack - there was none!.We did have an issue with the bathroom ( minor and not reported ). I would mention that on our return home, i had received an email from the cottage owners, actually mentioning that a) the driveway had been widened, and b) the bathroom fan did not work and was awaiting repair. It would have been helpful if a note had been attached to the bathroom door mentioning this fact.

The property was only surface cleaned there were large cobwebs through out particularly around the front door inside.
The bathroom sink and bath took a long time to empty as though there was a blockage somewhere. In the kitchen there was no plug for the sink neither was there washing up bowl which would have negated the need for a plug. It would have been useful for there to have been an information package for telephone numbers for local doctors, vets, nearest hospital etc. Also there was no visitors book so that we could see what other people thought. On a positive note the cottage was in a nice rural area the bedding and towels were clean and The Red Lion Pub within walking distance had great food and friendly staff all of which I would have put in a visitors book. I have one health and safety issue the master bedroom has a step up into it, when exiting the room it looks flush with the landing, on the first night my partner went to the bathroom, missed the step(which looked level with the landing) fell forward and hit his head on the facing wall suffering a large gash on his head and badly bruising his foot. There needs to be better lighting in this area and the step needs to be identifiable when exiting the bedroom

The worst disaster possible with a rental cottage!
We were able to get in initially but not easily, unpacked all our belongings into the cottage then went out, only to come back and be unable to gain entry. Neither key worked. We phoned the owner twice and left messages, tried to phone Sykes for help but your phone number isn't evident on the website!! Please put it somewhere easy to find. After 40 minutes of persistence with both keys we finally managed to gain entry. Phoned owner again and left another message. She rang back later and arranged for the door fitter to call the next day. He arrived and oiled the mechanism and told us the opening instructions given to us by the owner would result in the door lock mechanism jamming. I passed this information onto the owner together with the correct instructions for opening of the door by email. The situation was resolved but our holiday was spoilt as our nerves were shattered and we no longer had any confidence in our ability to re enter the property. We certainly would never return this property or its neighbour with similar locks.
