Guests say
Solent Point is a charming cottage praised for its stunning views, abundant wildlife, and proximity to coastal paths. Guests enjoy watching badgers and other creatures in their natural habitat. While some guests have noted areas for improvement, the unique experiences offered by the location seem to leave a lasting positive impression.
The property is generally described as clean, but one review mentioned finding a dead wasp in the kettle, suggesting occasional oversights. Overall, the cleanliness seems satisfactory, but not without room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its scenic views, proximity to the coastal path, and the opportunity to observe wildlife. It is considered great for walkers and those seeking a peaceful retreat.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While the natural surroundings are appreciated, some guests have reported uncomfortable furniture and beds, which detracts from the overall comfort of their stay.
Facilities are adequate with good amenities in the bathroom and kitchen. However, guests have noted a lack of crockery and safety features like a bath mat, as well as concerns about maintenance of furniture and bedding.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Whilst enjoying our stay, there are some ways in which our stay could have been improved, eg no bat mat for shower to avoid slipping in the bath, more crockery would have been appreciated (only two cereal bowls for four people) only one toilet roll for four adults. This may seem picky, but things like this do make a difference. Having said this we had a lovely time and would book again. The wildlife was fantastic - five badgers nightly, a red squirrel and a green woodpecker!!!
