This was our first week holiday in about three years, and it was very much needed. The chalet was absolutely perfect for our family of two adults and two children. We loved the location and all the thoughtful little touches throughout the chalet.It was wonderful to be able to walk straight to the beach, relax in the garden, and enjoy the hot tub. The whole experience exceeded our expectations.The only slight disappointment was that the BBQ wasn't clean, so unfortunately we weren't able to use it. However, this didn't take away from what was otherwise a fantastic stay. We especially loved the games, the music/Bluetooth facilities, and all the details that made the chalet feel so homely and special.Thank you for a lovely and memorable holiday, we would happily return.

Wow what a place to stay for our first visit to Isle of Wight! Culver Chalet is a unique property in a fantastic location with amazing views over the sea. Check in was easy and great communication from the owners with information and welcome pack. Everything that you need is there. Loved having our morning coffee looking out at the sea. Hot tub was amazing! Really private location. Lovely garden for children to play. We spent Easter here and it was great for our Easter egg hunt 😊 Lovely walks on the doorstep and Whitecliff bay beach was just beautiful. We were blessed with the weather and loved exploring IOW. Culver Chalet is in a great location to explore all that the island has to offer! Thank you to the Herbert’s for sharing your home with us. We would love to return in the future!
