Superb property and location
The house was stunning and perfectly located in East Cowes, with 360 degree views to die for. The rooftop terrace and balcony offered stunning views, and quiet havens, complemented by the wonderful weather. I had some initial concerns about the number of stairs, but they were unwarranted as the staircase is such a beautiful feature of the house that we all loved. The bedroom and living space layout suited our family well, and the house was so peaceful and quiet. We had a minor issue with WiFi, but it was resolved in a matter of hours by the landlord, who installed signal boosters for us, which solved the problem beyond our expectations, leaving us very impressed. We will definitely return again. Plenty of space and everything we needed.

Brilliant for a large group, the property was fab and we’ve all loved it, everything you’d ever need was provided, local facilities were all walkable and very good location, would definitely all stay here again.

Great location!
10 of us had a great weekend at Cliffhanger, and loved being able to walk to shops, waterfront and pub. Can highly recommend the Yachtsman - we were well looked after for our Saturday evening. House was well equipped and beds very comfy! Waking up to the view from the top bedroom was fabulous!
