Have booked to return next year, so many places to see and go to on the island, can't do them all in a week. Bob the dog refused to get in the car, did not want to leave.

On arrival we found it to be (apparently) well equipped and beautifully furnished.We are a group of 4 Seniors - the seating in the lounge was good looking but gave us all back ache; the mattresses were well past their sell by date and most uncomfortable; we had to use whatever we could find to make mattress toppers ... in fact the twin beds are only suitable for children. The dining table is in the kitchen - it's a very wobbly gate leg table with folding chairs stored inside; there is not room in the kitchen to open the table and eat around it; the chairs are incredibly uncomfortable.The house is in a beautiful location and is well equipped but the furnishings are awful.It's a pity, as potentially, it could have been perfect for our group but we feel that others in our age group need to be aware.

Totland is a pleasant modern cottage in the middle of a group of three, overlooking Wootton Creek. It is a lovely situation, the secure decking area in the front and patio doors make the most of the views. It was our first stay at Totland, but have stayed at its neighbour a couple of times previously.Decor is pleasant and neutral, but a little tired in places. Cleanliness is pretty good, but a bit of a deep-clean wouldn't hurt. Very well presented on arrival. We found the main bed very comfortable. The kitchen is perfectly adequate for a holiday. As mentioned in other reviews, the living room sofas are very uncomfortable, very hard and awkwardly angled. They are sofa-beds, but even so....... They would put me off a future visit.Being dog friendly is a great bonus for us. Especially useful is the downstairs shower. There are lots of great walks, 15 mins walk up the road is the beach overlooking the Solent. Ten minutes inland is the village of Wootton Bridge, it has Tesco and Premier convenience stores, several eateries and takeaways. Bus services around the island are superb. For food, we recommend Terry's fish and chips and Briddlesford Farm for their cooked breakfasts.
