    Hard to think of anything we didn't like! Maybe a small sign at the entrance would have been helpful - we weren't certain we'd come to the right place...

    Minor Issue - The mattress on the bed is uneven and could do with replacing, wasn't the most comfortable. Minor Issue - The shower only provided hot water for about 3/4 minutes which was very disappointing. Hopefully this can be rectified in the future as it would be the only consideration if we were to stop there again.

    Very picturesque, set in a lovely grown garden at the rear of the property. Location is fantastic for Cowes Parking available right outside the property. Excellent Breakfast cooked to order. Very friendly host with loads of information about the local area.

    Lovely little chalet in a beautiful big garden. Saw red squirrels in the garden whilst we ate breakfast on the veranda! A walk downhill to the high street. Quite steep on the return for anyone who is less fit/mobile but it was okay for us. We did drive down closer one day to get some groceries quickly. Lovely hosts. We enjoyed our breakfast each morning from Jonathan. The room had a TV so we enjoyed being able to watch a film at night. Nice hot shower. The room was a good size and warm enough (Jonathan quickly swapped our oil heater out because we realised it wasn't working). We would happily stay here again.

    This was the most beautiful property and b&b. We stayed in one of the chalets, and it truly felt like we had found a little slice of heaven. Melissa and Jonathan, the owners, are wonderful and made us feel really at home whilst providing a brilliant breakfast in the morning. They will also really accommodating of our large dog, who really enjoyed his stay!

    It is always a risk for me personally when going away as I have a tendency to get an aching back if the mattress isn't supportive enough and I didn't find the mattress supportive. I would also have liked to see more pillow choice as I have neck issues and need a supportive (but not over-firm) pillow. I also found the cold air through the windows a little uncomfortable. If the window seals are replaced I am sure this could easily be solved and may mean you're less likely to turn the heating up to try and compensate (which was tied to the main house's timings). It would be nice to have some variation at breakfast offered, even if agreed the night before, such as omelette or baked goods like croissants rather than toast.

    The chalet that our daughters was in was a very cosy and private spot with its own verandah (great in summer I'm sure) and a very self contained space pointing down the garden not towards the house so it isn't overlooked. The room in the house we had was accessed by its own stairs at the back of the house and was a nice space with its own well-appointed and large bathroom across the top of the stairs. The view was out of the front of the house. Having tea and coffee and a kettle in the room was really welcome too. It was really handy to have a gate through the back garden directly into Northwood House park and the garden is lit by lots of solar-powered fairy lights at night so you can see your way. This room is directly above the other guest room in the house on the ground floor, which is next to the owners' kitchen/diner. The quilt was plenty warm enough, a tad too warm perhaps! Breakfast was 'full English' and tasty.

    Not the owners fault at all, but due to the extreme storms the garden was very wet. We were attending a wedding so not ideal trying to avoid lucky shoes but nothing that could be done due to the awful weather.

    Fantastic location for both the ferry and an event next door at Northwood house. The owners were very helpful, accommodating and the breakfast was lovely. Squirrel lodge was very pretty, quiet and well equipped. Despite staying in November the room was never cold.

    Depends on the time of year but we happened to be there in the midst of a bad storm and there’s an acorn tree over the cabin so the acorns were pelting down all night but that I’m sure is just a one off!

    We had the option of staying in a hotel but felt something more homely would be nice and we weren’t let down. The bed was extremely comfortable, the room was cosy and clean and Melissa and John were really helpful and the breakfast was fab!
