Great little holiday place. Well equipped and on a lovely position on the cliff top. Lovely beach side cafes nearby and a 5 minute walk to the beach.

Ideal accommodation for a couple with excellent facilities in an outstanding location and everything we needed was provided.The short walk to a car parking space was a very minor issue and caused us no problems at all. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

What a delight it was to stay here. The wonderful owner left us milk, tea, coffee, soap, dog treats (which our pooch loved), washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and washing tablets! It was amazing! The accommodation provides everything you could need. It has a glorious view over the Channel. The Owner was fabulous even when we phoned to say we were lost and couldn’t find it. There is no vehicular access to the property but once you find it on the cliff path you don’t look back. We walked into Sandown one day and Shanklin. Great walks. We used the train which is very close to go to the Steam Railway and Ryde. The bus service in the area is great too. Tesco express very close and bigger Morrisons about 10 mins in the car.
