10/10 Excellent

A great experience
A great experience for us staying in a houseboat at Island harbour, a tranquil area of the Isle of Wight, makes for a relaxing stay but in easy reach of the rest of the Island. On one of our days there we had friends over for dinner and due to the sunny positioning of the bi-fold doors, we could open these to the full extent, sit out and enjoy the afternoon sunshine. It makes to accommodate a fantastic entertaining area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and wouldn't hesitate to return back for another restful break on the houseboat.
