  We had a fantastic stay here.

  Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The views are amazing and great for birdwatchers. We saw/heard about 15 species from the back garden and would probably be great for winter birdwatching too as this is a wetland area. You have a completely separate raised section of the family's larger garden and apart from their older son occasionally riding his bike we never saw anyone and there was virtually no noise from the other properties. The road at the front is barely noticeable in the back garden and quietens right down at night. The property is just steps away from The Solent across the road where you can walk along the sea wall into pretty Yarmouth. There are lots of footpaths near the property and we did a walk that runs parallel at a distance from the property around the woods. This leads you to the edge of Yarmouth and the lovely Off The Rails cafe and then along the estuary to the Red Lion at Freshwater. We also found the dinosaur footprint casts at Hanover Point. We would love to come back again to this area and the property.

  This is a nice quiet house in a cul de sac.

  lovely neighbours. very close to the village, only a 3-4 minute walk, and 10 minutes to the nearest beach which has beach shops, restaurant and bars. seemed safe for children. Really accessible for Freshwater and Yarmouth and beautiful views can be found from the military road only 10 minutes drive away. The house itself has everything you need, and very comfortable beds and lounge furniture. The only negatives from the whole experience was a strange smell emanating from under the stairs, which could have been from previous leaks or maybe a large wooden chest that is there. We didn't look inside but just bought a plug in air freshener which masked the smell whilst we were there, the garden could have done with a weed, (but a lovely sun trap) and some tv channels were unwatchable as the signal broke up. None of these things bothered us too much ... but would have been a 5* otherwise. Would we book this property again...YES without a doubt

  Windy Ridge is a perfect home away from home and an ideal location.

  Yarmouth itself is only a 15 minute walk from the house and is a beautiful place. It was our second time staying in Yarmouth, we enjoyed it so much last year that we booked for this year while still there! The Wheatsheaf is a wonderful pub and we ate there 3 times. The food is excellent, service very good, friendly staff and also has a nice outdoor space. Gossips Cafe is also definitely worth a visit, good food and a beautiful view. Inez was an excellent host, she came to greet us on our arrival day to let us know she was on hand, she came to make sure we'd had a good stay on the day we left and was available to answer any questions during the week. The road is busy and if you're in the in the upstairs bedroom there is quite a bit of traffic noise. However, the gorgeous view more than makes up for it and wouldn't stop us booking again. Lovely little garden area at the back too, also with a stunning view. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  Very clean, super spacious, well located & so peaceful. Comfortable seating, excellent beds & linens, quality crockery, great internet speed, masses of storage, quick/efficient heating, gorgeous hamper on arrival & generally top-notch across the board. The only drawbacks were the very tight, rocky driveway on exiting the property which scratched our wheel. This beautiful house is ideal for families, but not quite equipped for family-sized cars. We also had an issue with lack of hot water in the ground floor en suite shower which our elderly parents were using. However, the housekeeper was very quick to respond & offered to bring in a plumber to look at it. It would have been amazing if the TV upstairs was connected for broadcast rather than just gaming, as it was a lovely space to sit & just chill out. Totally recommended if you want everything for a relaxing stay in one place.

  The house was clean, well maintained and had a well equipped kitchen - everything required for a wonderful stay.

  The location in Freshwater is ideal to get to from the Lymmington/Yarmouth Ferry - literally 5 minutes drive. Easy reach to the Needles (walked it in an hour round the coastal path), and driving north/east to Cowes/Ryde/Osborne - very easy, as was South/east to Ventnor/Sandown/Shanklin/Godshill. Lots of great tea rooms and places to visit - many recommended by the host in their welcome pack. Very well equipped kitchen - oven/microwave/washer/dishwasher and enough cupboard space for a weekly shop. Private and well kept back garden with table and chairs. All in all an excellent property in an excellent holiday location
