We had a lovely stay. Our family all fit and having 2 living areas was perfect for us to spread out. Contact with both the agent and the hosts was easy and positive. House is walking distance to Red Rocks beach, and only a few minutes drive to Cowes main st shops.

Great for a family holiday
The kitchen, dining and lounge area is big enough for a large group of people and the kids loved the bunk room
