    Great location for a stroll to Cowes main street and Esplanade, direct access to park with no need to go through guest house. Fab hosts and amazing breakfast. Room was big enough with all you could need, even Netflix set up ready to use as a guest. Even got to meet badgers in the garden in the night!
