The cottage was very spacious, it was lovely and clean, wilth lovely welcome basket with lots of lovely goodies and a little welcome basket for the dogs too. The cottage has a lovely view of the Carisbrooke castle for master bedroom. The cottage as a hot tub which was nice to go in, in the evening when I started cooling down. As the weather as been lovely and hot whilst we were there. I would definitely recommend this cottage. we will definitely be visiting again
