Lovely cottage in a really great location.
Mr Freeman May 2022
Perfect location, lovely little bungalow which comfortably houses two people with all you could need and want and great internet connection. The only negative was the constant midgies from the nature reserves lake further along, so take insect spray, they were pesty

We're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay on the Island. Sorry to hear that you noticed some midges in the area - it's not something that we've been made aware of previously so don't think it's linked to the nearby nature reserve, but thanks for making us aware. Tanya, Customer Support
Mr Burt April 2022
Great for walking and the nature reserve next door if you like bird watching
Mrs Marner April 2022
I would use Wight location again , but the owners of the beach retreat need to take note of what needs to be update etc

Accommodation was lovely, but some things need updating as it was not the most comfortable. Lovely seaviews and not far from local attractions.

We thought the situation of the bungalow better than expected as we loved Seaview and the stretch of water in front of the bungalow. We certainly would love to return.

The Beach Retreat is a compact property as detailed, and is fitted with electric heaters rather than a central heating system. We're sorry that you had some difficulties with the wifi and TV reception - we'll get this checked. Our sales team would be very happy to help you choose a bigger property with different facilities in the future. Classic Cottages
Mr Newman October 2020
Really enjoyed our stay, Beach Retreat is excellently located for walking and cycling. Pubs and cafes very close by in this peaceful and quiet location. Tip for future guests - give the oven plenty of time to warm up.
