This cottage offers a great location and lots of accommodation space and the kitchen is very well equipped. However the very poor level of cleanliness in the kitchen in particular and generally throughout the cottage (dust and cobwebs) completely spoiled our holiday and really lets the cottage down. Issues of poor cleanliness were previously raised in 2018 and 2020. In addition, there were a number of minor maintenance issues (e.g the shower door would not close properly and the door knob on the bedroom was broken) that should have been addressed prior to our arrival. The combination of these issues was very disappointing and really spoiled the holiday. Classic Cottages claim they carry out regular inspections and that they keep checking to ensure everything is above and beyond expectations. Classic Cottages stated that they cannot inspect all the cottages and we were offered financial compensation for our experience. I would have preferred a clean and hygienic cottage especially again the backdrop of Covid.

We're so sorry that you had cause to contact us about the cleanliness but we're pleased that we were able to agree on a suitable resolution for the elements you found.

We understand how important cleanliness is and any concerns raised are always fully investigated. We continuously monitor standards via our questionnaire system and guest feedback, and always inspect every property at least annually but sadly it's not possible for us to visit on on every changeover. Your points have been shared with the owner so that he can look at them alongside the usual end of season maintenance.

We're really grateful for you bringing this to our attention and hope we can welcome you back to the island in the future. Tanya, Customer Support

This would be a wonderful place to stay for a family.

We all (including the dog) enjoyed the house and location so much, that we have already booked for another two weeks at 6 Coastguards Cottages in 2022.

An absolutely fantastic location for a complete break from it all. Views are magnificent, the dogs loved the garden. The nearby pub The Sun Inn was lovely and the food was excellent. There are lots of walks close by and you are not far from a range of attractions. We loved it.

Would recommend this cottage. Great base to enjoy IOW. We as a family of 6 had an amazing time. Beach close to walk the dogs and great costal walks

Beautiful cottage, very comfortable and stunning location but disappointed by the cleanliness of the kitchen.

Please be assured that your comments have been taken on board and we do hope to see you again in the future. Bryony, Customer Support

A priceless location. Loved equally by my parents, children and dog!

This location is perfect. We love the walk to the beach, where we hunt for fossils. We have stayed here a few times now and we feel that this is the best location on the island! The house is a bit on the old-side can do with modernising, but regardless we love it there.

this is our second stay at 6 Coastguard cottages and we would love to go back again

We had such a fabulous stay at this property. The rooms are large enough and extremely light due to the large windows and sunny location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back again!!! The only thing we really missed here were sun-loungers in the garden!

We're absolutely delighted that you had such a good time at this lovely property - we'll pass on your suggestion of sun-loungers to the owners. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Tressa, Customer Support

A wonderful week at a wonderful cottage! So close to the beach, we walked there a few times. Very well equipped property, with plenty of spaces. Fabulous sunsets!

We always have a lovely time in any Classic cottage but this one has helped us make great family memories for two years now, on our favourite part of the island! Thank you

Lovely location and views, great size garden and driveway (though be aware not secure if you have dogs) spacious house but furnishings more shabby than chic and cleanliness could be better

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts although we were sorry to see that you felt the cleanliness could have been improved. We'll raise this with the housekeeping team, and we'll inspect all the funiture to see where upgrades could be made. Tanya, Customer Support

A delightful cottage, generously and thoughtfully equipped, in a highly enviable location.

We spent a brilliant two weeks in this beautiful cottage, it has great views of the sea, very comfortable and spacious, very well equipped,lovely big garden and perfect to take the dogs to the beach. The cottage is perfectly positioned to visit other areas of the island,would definitely come here again.

Exceeded expectations - immaculately clean, bright and spacious. Very well equipped and views were stunning. Definitely hope to return!

Fantastic location with views across a field to the sea. Beautiful sunsets over the white cliffs. A quick walk to an amazing sandy beach littered with fossil remains of dinosaurs.

Actually reviewed the same property last year. We liked it that much we returned.

A lovely cottage with beautiful views. Well equipped. Would highly recommend. Look forward to returning.

A delightful cottage in an enviable position. Very well equipped and our small problem with a lack of window key was resolved quickly and very efficiently. We will definitely book again.
