Linen

It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra. By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases). What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for. The additional cost would be a one-off charge of $30 per bed (some sites add a service fee to these costs) - and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.

Please note that during the peak summer period and other peak times, check in times are set as 3pm (unless by prior arrangement). Please also note that if you avail of the optional linen hire over these times, it may involve linen being left out but beds not being made up.

Great location
We enjoyed our stay: lots of room for 3 families, loved the outdoor spa and fantastic location close to the beach. A little dissapointed the gas log fire heater was out of order on arrival but overall we had a great stay.

Family Gathering
Our family enjoyed the layout of this property and loved the spa. The upstairs accommodation was popular with the children and we all enjoyed the outdoor space. A great location as the beach is just around the corner and Cowes in easy walking distance. The only negative was the lack of wine and champagne glasses!
