Lovely cottage for a couple of nights, so spacious, comfortable, and functional. Wish I could have stayed longer and really made the most of it. Will definitely be back.
Easy check in and good communication from them prior to arrival. Cottage was comfortable, warm and peaceful. The hairdryer is listed as being included in the room, but it’s not *in* the room. You will need to give a deposit at reception and they’ll hand one over. Cash only deposit, and they don’t have ATMs on site - seems like a silly unnecessary inconvenience. They also text AND emailed about marketing to buy a caravan during our 3 day stay which seems a bit overkill. Shower pretty powerful and TV selection decent. Didn’t use any of the main facilities on site. Well located for everything on the island, I don’t think we drove more than 20 minutes to get anywhere which was handy.
I have stayed here at various times over the last 5 years and have really enjoyed it. The club house was always superb and the cottages were well equipped clean and comfortable. This time because of an error in booking we had a static at the end of the park. The first night we ordered a takeaway only to find we had 2 forks. We called reception and some were delivered. The following morning we went to do a cooked breakfast. We had 1 baking tray. No grill pan and only 4 plates. There was no starter pack containing a cloth, washing up liquid etc so I had to walk to the co-op. All of these things were in order in my previous visits.
The beds are so uncomfortable I could t sleep. The sofas are basically a cushion on a wooden board and are also really uncomfortable, the TV was really bad also.
I loved my time in the Isle of Wight, but hated every moment in this site. No entertainment for the kids which they loved on previous occasions.. reception closes at 4:30pm… The only thing that amused me was how the flooding of the site was dealt with. A person stood on a pallet truck trying to move a railway sleeper with a rake to unblock the road…
The caravan was clean and comfortable. Any issues we had during the stay were dealt with efficiently. The desk staff were friendly, polite and helpful.
Ideas for improvement:
The addition of a frying pan and baking tray would be helpful.
An additional bin bag to help with recycling sorting.

No amenities as mentioned… no soap!
Arrived to a lady who eye rolled me on check in at the bar, even though they were aware of me arriving after 8pm. Was told if I couldn’t find accommodation to call reception (but they close at 5pm..). Found our caravan, to find the door wide open and an inside light on… not what I expected to be quite honest. No instructions for heating/ hot water or even the oven etc…
No towels (just a bath mat) no hairdryer, 2 glasses in the kitchen (wine glasses were there but children are a nightmare with those), and no pizza cutter or oven glove. Not even one basic soap/ hand wash for a sink….
Hotels.com stated towels and a hairdryer would be in our caravan. So maybe that needs removing for others to see in future.
It was clean in general, tv is ever so basic, I had to tether WiFi which isn’t the end of the world.
Would I stay here again? Probably not. White cliff bay was much better overall.
Just a bit disappointed. Not ideal when you haven’t got what was told the caravan had.
But the silver lining, was the fake fire (no heat) - did look nice of an evening.
