  Little Haven overall was a wonderful property that looked exactly like the photos.

  It was very clean inside and a special shout out to Darren who cleans and services the hot tub, he keeps it in tip top condition and is very knowledgeable passing on reassurances that its safe to use. Now for the accommodation itself there are many pro's: -very clean inside -spacious -lovely big fridge and washing machine -plenty of cookware in good condition overall -fantastic location -parking onsite -very bright and airy inside -comfy sofa's There were just a couple of cons which unfortunately did affect our stay: -the mattresses were very sunken on both sides and you could feel every spring. It did make for a very uncomfortable week unfortunately which affected our sleep and resulted in the last couple of nights sleeping on the sofa. -no tv in the double room. Not the end of the world but would make a difference if one was present. Overall we would happily book again if there were new mattresses on the beds or at least some foam or cushioned toppers to make the beds bareable. Property, location and garden/hot tub were fabulous otherwise.

  This was a really beautiful apartment a d the owner clearly has a flare for interior design as the decor and details were lovely throughout.

  The apartment was not short if anything, it had all you would need for your stay plus more! The outside space is fab, lots if room, lovely garden and decking area, lots of seating, we were blessed with weather so spent ot if time enjoying the outside space. The hot tub was a fab added bonus, and we used this most days we were here, big amd spacious with lighting for evenings under the stars, unfortunatley not all of the jets worked which was a shame but not enough of an issue to ruin our time, and I'm sure we could have called maintenance if needed and it would be fixable. Location wise, its fab, shops and eateries close by and old shanklin is stunning with lovely pubs. The esplanade is not fat to walk or there is plenty of park if you drove and its gorgeous down there. The apartment is a shared block, but has a private entrance and the garden area is very private and we didn't find privacy an issue. I have already reccomended to friends and would happily return to stay again. :)

  The property is sensational and its wonderful location is matched by the superb manner in which the owners have decorated and furnished throughout.

  Perfect for a family holiday for 8 people with an abundance of space. The setting is magnificent with hills all around and the most wonderful gardens on the property itself. There are two coastal walks immediately outside of the main gates, one in the direction of Shanklin and the other towards Bonchurch and Ventnor. One thing you need to be aware of is the bumpy road after the turn from the main road, towards Dunnose Magna. The fact that the National Trust have failed to cut back the hedgerow is another slight issue, however, you simply need to drive carefully and slowly. Once down at the house itself you will be thrilled with all it has to offer. The owners Lawrence and Tracey are lovely people who are keen to ensure that everything is to your satisfaction and they even put all our Sainsbury's shopping away for us as our ferry was slightly delayed. We will definitely look to return to Dunnose Magna.

  We had a lovely stay at Little Haven.

  It was a very clean, well equipped property and was very tastefully decorated. It was definitely a home from home. It is situated very close to the beach with the option to walk or use the public lift down to the esplande. We would walk down and get the lift back up. The parking space at the apartment was a bonus too. Little Haven had a large garden and hot tub which we used several times during our stay. Its great for family's, we had 2 teenage girls with us, who enjoyed the computer/TV in their bedroom for playing games on and watching movies. We would love to return to Little Haven and see more. There is so much to see on the island. Thankyou to the owner for letting us stay in her holiday home and for replying so promptly when we had any questions.

  Stunning property but let down by the access track The property was stunning and had everything we wanted, it was spacious, well equipped, very clean and extremely comfortable.

  The only downside to this wonderful property was the single track road leading to it. The whole length of the approximately half mile track had extremely deep and numerous pot-holes which we simply couldn't avoid. There was also an excess of rocks and loose flint with sharp edges. As a result, we could only drive extremely slowly along the track to minimise the danger to our cars and tyres. So appalling was the road surface we did not want to go out in the evening and have to drive along it again, especially with it being unlit. In our opinion you really need a 4 x 4 vehicle to drive to and from this lovely property. It was certainly not suitable for our standard vehicles.
