Firstly, the service from IOW Hideaways was great - very helpful with booking and Ferry crossings.
The property itself...
Pro's:
- The property is in a great location, with parking for two cars.
- It has a decent outside space (if you get the weather!).
- Great Lounge and Kitchen Diner space to the front of the house.
- Well equipped kitchen.
Con's:
- The one and only shower is TERRIBLE. It is an electric shower and is severely underpowered. Furthermore, there is only a partial shower screen so the bathroom floor gets completely sodden dispute best attempts not to. If you take one thing from my review, please please please update the shower and put a full shower enclosure in!
- The double bed in the second bedroom was creaky and quite uncomfortable.
- Generally, the property feels a little tired and a little unloved (perhaps because it is on the market for sale currently). For example the garden, whilst not wild, is in need of attention with the pathways restricted by overgrowing plants/hedges, and the fences & decking are in desperate need of a lick of paint.
- The snug room is pointless - there's only a random chair and beanbag, so can't really be used for much.
Overall:
The property provided a decent base for a weeks holiday. We enjoyed our stay, but given that the property wasn't cheap, the terrible shower (and lack of proper shower screen/enclosure) & poor quality second double bed were the only reasons I would not recommend this place. If these were remedied I would have no issue in recommending this property.
