Great apartment...nicely decorated and spacious. Views of sea from lounge and 2 bedrooms. Well equipped kitchen though no washing up liquid or spare toilet rolls .

A lovely apartment in a brilliant, quiet location. Wonderful sea views from the lounge and two of the bedrooms. It is a great base for walking and exploring the wonderful coastline of IOW. We have been visiting the Island since our two children were very young, but at 18 and 20 they still wanted to come with us, and loved the apartment.
