What our customers say about their holidays

  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.

  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. :)

  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.

  The rental is significantly let down by the dreadful lack of water pressure.

  With 4 adults and 2 children staying here it was almost impossible to get any kind of a shower without someone running a tap or flushing a toilet resulting in the top floor shower completely stopping, or the 1st floor shower switching to ice cold mode :( Photos of the listing are accurate, it is spacious, comfortable accommodation with tasteful furnishings and a well appointed kitchen (lots of cutlery, crockery, sharp knives, pans & serving dishes). A 4 slice toaster rather than a 2 would reflect that this is accommodation for families rather than just a couple We were completely perplexed by the grill (meaning we couldn't switch it on / use it) so would suggest the instructions are expanded The garden is not visible from the accommodation making it a challenging space to use if you have children in your party Very close to the beach & a quiet road

  Chale Farm Lodge was exactly like the pictures, a modern style spacious chalet in a great location, quiet, remote and beautiful surroundings, with a 1 minute walk to the nearest pub and 5 minutes to the coast.

  The hosts, Maxine and Steve, were extremely friendly and contacted us in advance of arrival to ensure we had everything we needed. The property was spotless and very comfortable for our stay. If you have not been to the Isle of Wight before, everything is accessible within a short drive and at this accommodation you have plenty of peace and tranquility away from crowds. We enjoyed nearby coastal walks, seeing the animals on the farm and cosy nights in. Wednesday there is a mobile fish & chip takeaway that comes to Chale that has a 5* online rating, and was also recommended by Maxine! There is a TV and a few games available at the chalet to keep you entertained. We would certainly love to go back, it was just the type of break we needed and both welcoming and conveniently placed for everything we needed on the IOW.
