What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a wonderful week at 34, Station Avenue!

  The house is a bit of a ‘tardis’: from the street, it looks like a normal terraced house but there is so much space inside! On arrival, the owners had thoughtfully left us bread and milk plus some biscuits - thank you so much. All the interior design was lovely, with high ceilings and original features which made it feel quite grand, and the whole house felt bright and well presented. My husband particularly loved all the lamp shades! My children LOVED having their own ‘kids’ lounge’, all the bedrooms were well proportioned with really comfy mattresses, the kitchen and dining room were great and it was handy having the utility space. One of the highlights was definitely the hot tub - it got a fair bit of use! Sandown felt a bit run-down, but it’s really well positioned to explore lots of other places on the island. The house is also really close to the High Street, where there is a Coop and Sainsburys. The only negatives were the showers, which were lovely and hot but just didn’t have much power to them. Apparently they were being replaced the week after we left! The oven also took a bit of working out - some instructions would have been helpful - but we got there! We all said it’s the best holiday house we’ve stayed in and would thoroughly recommend it for other families. (We were parents, two children aged 12 and 10, and my mother-in-law with her small dog.) Thank you so much!

  Absolutely loved staying here.

  Perfect location for exploring that side of the island with loads of different cafes and pubs around. Although we stayed between renovations, the house itself was charmingly decorated with lovely finishes. Mattresses and pillows were very comfy and hot tub was lovely! Jon was on hand if we needed anything and provided us with lots of information about the house and area, as well as leaving us with anything we could need (including a cute little dishwasher tablet/tea towel arrangement!) Only negative feedback is the bed frame in one of the rooms was a bit creaky and the water pressure/temperature in the bathrooms and kitchen. Obviously as a work in progress, a lick of paint is needed here and there but it didn't dampen our stay. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

  The house was perfect for our family.

  Loads of room and even toys for the kids which was a great bonus. The house is well equipped with everything you need. The hot tub was used everyday and needed after all the walking which we all did. The beds were very comfortable and a great nights sleep was had by all. I simply loved this house. The only downside was the water pressure of the showers. But in the scheme of things this is the only negative. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who has a large family. We was there with 4 generations and it was perfect.

  Great property.

  . Needs some TLC especially outside around the hot tub area. Some paint and a freshen up with some planting would work wonders. Internally the upstairs bathroom could do with updating to make it more friendly and pleasing to the eye. Sandown needs a decent restaurant. Our experience took us to Shanklin outside of the Indian 'Cardamon' restaurant in Sandown which was very good...

  The house is very comfortable and very well equipped .

  There would have been 10s all round if the showers were not so poor and the towels were double the size.
