House of Logs

We had a lovely week at the House of Logs for our party of 6 adults/1 toddler and a baby. It is situated in a very quiet location with great views over the Solent just over the road. We used it as a base to explore the IoW. Freshwater, Colwell Bay, Yarmouth and the Needles are all nearby. Although most of the attractions we visited seemed to be more towards the centre and the eastern side of the island it was always a pleasant experience travelling to and from, most often via the Military Road. Would definitely go back again ??...

House of Logs is great for a multigenerational holiday. There were three generations of us from 1 year old to 60! Us grandparents had the downstairs suite which comprised of a king sized bedroom with direct access to the garden, a shower room and separate toilet. However, the access to these rooms are down a very steep, narrow staircase with a low ceiling which says “ouch” which you have to duck under. This would be very difficult for anybody with limited mobility to manage and should be highlighted in the property description. The upstairs is spacious and well laid out. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen was well equipped with lovely views across the tree tops. It felt like being in a tree house! Everywhere was very safe for a toddler with gates and doors at all points where there were stairs. The showers were powerful and there was plenty of hot water for everyone. The location (a 10 minute steep walk or 15 minute gentle walk to the beach) was perfect and the beach was sandy and gently shelving with plenty of activity on the water to watch. It was never busy even in the perfect warm, sunny weather we had for our stay. It has easy access to the coast path and a long, pushchair friendly promenade to Colwell Bay which has a buzzing seaside atmosphere. ...

A unique house which exceeded our expectations - it is even better in reality than in the photos and we would thoroughly recommend it. We had a very relaxing week in it. We enjoyed the inside and outside spaces of the house. There is very little passing traffic - it was like staying at an exclusive rural retreat with the added bonus of the coastal path and a beach on the doorstep. The bench on the front terrace was an ideal spot to sit with a book and a coffee whilst enjoying a view of the sea. There are many personal touches throughout the house and thoughtful extras such as the luxury toiletries and local tea, coffee and biscuits on arrival were very much appreciated. We were fortunate to stay during hot, sunny weather but feel sure the House of Logs would be just as welcoming during the colder months. This house would be an ideal place to enjoy a friends/family celebration and we would be very happy to return to it. ...

Wonderful, peaceful location. Sunny position and charming log cabin. Could have done with some oven gloves and another tea towel but all in all no complaints at all. Very safe for our 3 little dogs. Will stay there again.

Fabulous location. Great walks, albeit quite steep, to Headon Warren and the beach. The property was spacious and clean. Comfortable sofas and beds. Plenty of hot water for showers and baths. The high quality ‘Welcome Pack’ was appreciated.
