Gut: Sauberkeit
What we loved: it’s a peaceful part of Cowes with amazing access to red rocks beach and situated away from the holiday tourism scene in town. That said it’s also super convenient to get into Cowes as it’s a straight shot about five minutes down the road. Also close by is one of our favourite spots on the Island: The Store is just up Ventnor Rd about five minutes and they make amazing pastries and brekky rolls, etc. so location is awesome. The house had a lot of room and some great views. A big modern kitchen is a plus and there’s plenty of dishes. The house was clean inside, no strange smells or bugs etc so that was great. What wasn’t so great: As with many holiday homes things were a little tired. While the kitchen was well appointed, it’s not well setup for actual cooking, dull knives, old rusted utensils (nonstick pots and pans were very worn out and left us wishing we’d brought our own) Outside really needs some care, it’s clear the grounds were once quite beautiful but the gardens and patio areas really need a serious tidy. Unfortunately We did not enjoy the outdoor spaces on the grounds themselves as a result. Middle bedroom has a window which is rusted or something and doesn’t fully close. Thankfully we only used two rooms but I would not be happy if we had a bigger group and needed that space. Would we stay again? Yes but we’d likely bring a few more things from home. Do some repairs, clean up the gardens, and replace the pots and pans etc and it’s a 5 star
