Awaken with a hot soak in the bathroom's spacious walk-in shower before enjoying a home-cooked breakfast and steaming cup of coffee, courtesy of the kitchen appliances.

Yarmouth is the oldest town on the Isle of Wight, and its bustling harbour is a haven for all types of watercraft, with the terminal serving regular mainland ferry crossings to Lymington. Yarmouth's small alleys are lined with charming shops and inns, and a visit to Henry viii's castle is a must-see. The coastal walkway offers excellent riding (including a bike rental business) and walking opportunities. Why not go for a brisk walk through the adjacent Tennyson Down and Headon Warren? Sandhard Beach is a 15-minute walk away, while Colwell Bay, with its sandy beach and family-friendly services, is a 7-minute drive away.

A good base to go exploring, buses were a great way of getting around, avoiding car parking charges. I would recommend to friends and family.

The site was quiet, though it was out of school holidays. The hot water and heating worked, though the heating thermostat didn't seem to (heating was on or off). Overall we had a lovely week. One of our party is a wheelchair user. We have the following comments on this accessible cottage: good points are a disabled parking space outside and step-free access to the door, level access to the shower and a grab bar. Maybe a drop-down shower seat would help. We brought our own shower stool. The toilets would benefit from either drop-down or fixed rails to aid standing. The shoe cupboard in the corridor takes a lot of room, making getting in or out of the main bedroom very difficult in a manual wheelchair; similarly with the twin room and the table and chairs. Access would be fine with a walking frame. Maybe the cottage description could say there is limited room for a wheelchair. We left a charger behind, and were shocked to see there's a £30 charge to post items, so will buy a new one.

On the second last day there was no hot water at all. The owner arranged for a heating engineer to call but be could not repair the boiler so we had to boil a kettle every time we needed to wash etc.
