    Main access road, but that's a public highway in fairness. Check out was a bit early-11am would have been better.

    we didn't have breakfast. Location was lovely but the public highway leading t the site is in quite poor condition.

    Some of the furniture is a little tired, but still comfortable.

    Location overlooking the Solent gave amazing views. At check-in issue with Lodge, explained and compensation and alternative lodge offered without hesitation.

    Beautiful location close to beach which was lovely. very comfortable beds. nice hot tum to relax in the evening's. Only let down was finding under sofa cushions food wrappings and dirt. Also, down the side of one of the beds was loads of sweet wrappers and dirt, which was not good. Also, food stains on table top. So cleaner really do need to sort these things out before people stay.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the warm and attentive staff, who took care of everything seamlessly. The location itself is breathtaking, offering a perfect blend of comfort and serenity. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay, making sure every detail was taken care of.

Holiday House is a perfect getaway, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable experience. Thank you again for making our stay so special! - Hiteshri Patel and family

    Bathroom and kitchen floors could of been cleaner. Hot tub needed some attention, several jets weren't working. Road to site was poorly maintained.

    The setting of the cabin was perfect. Nestled in the trees and a short walk to the beach. Comfortable beds with nice linen. Nice touches such as tea, coffe, washing up liquid, and toiletries made it feel welcoming.

    Waste and recycling information not clear with only one general waste bin provided. Access roads very bumpy. Car parking would have been an issue if there was more than one car.

    Excellent location with good access to the beach and Isle of Wight attractions. A very peaceful site, with stunning views. A well furnished lodge with all the basic things needed for self catering.

    I found the beds uncomfortable they were very noisy and squeaky. The blind in the master bedroom was completely useless at keeping out the morning light so we woke very early. Some scissors in the kitchen would be handy. Wi-Fi was poor.

    The coastal retreat is a lovely quiet wooded area near the water. In a good location for getting around the island. The lodge was well equipped and clean. Plenty of hot water and towels. There are several takeaways and a Tesco express at the end of the lane. We liked having the dvd player as the Wi-Fi wasn’t good enough to stream anything. It would be good to promote that more beforehand so that people bring a dvd or 2 with them.

    The lodge hadn't been cleaned. It was dusty and also tatty. Sofa was filthy, food stains on the dining room sea pads. Hot tub lid was ripped in places. I could go on!! I contacted booking.com, who advised me to speak to the reception team. I had already spoken to the cleaning team, who came in and clean finger prints off of the dishwasher and cooker splash back and then left. I also contact darwin escapes who have yet to come back to me. I have uploaded only a few photos

    The location was great. It was nice to have sea views.

    We were informed a few days prior to the holiday that the Hot Tub was out of action, but considering the weather, that wasn't too much of an inconvenience. The resort has offered a refund of that part of the cost which I have yet to receive.

    My wife and I were self catering. Our accommodation met and exceeded expectations, it was clean, well furnished in all rooms and with all kitchen and cooking facilities provided.

    The master bedroom ensuite smelt horribly like sewage and we paid an amount equivalent to a premium room with a hot tub but received one without it

    Coastal views, decently sized cabin with cute decorations and kitchen with a decent amount of crockery/cutlery (etc.). 2 toilets, 2 TVs, friendly staff when checking in and out.

    The distance from the retreat to the main road to catch a bus is quite long, especially if you need to do a bit of shopping. The road leading to the retreat is dark (we went in Feb) with no streat lighting. The road is also quite narrow with very little pedestrian lane.

    Great location to get a way to. Lovely and quiet if you're looking to get away from the city and do as little as possible. A real home to home atmosphere and very cosy. Easy access to the beach if you want to go for a stroll. The facilities were just perfect. Shops are relatively easy to get to if you have a car and the area is well served by buses.
