Lucaster

A very quiet location. You can’t hear any noise at all from the ferries although they are very close. We loved going to see them arrive and depart.

A very frequent bus service into Ryde or Newport from Fishbourne Lane.

Outstanding location a few steps from a great pub, an idyllic beach and Quarr Abbey. The ferry was not obtrusive and actually added to the charm.

The entrance is someone else's drive. Child and pet hazard

From reading other reviews I agree that the position of the cottage was excellent with quay just a few steps away,the pub was also excellent and it was a very quiet and relaxing area,but i find it hard to understand why there were cobwebs hanging from every ceiling,and they were not new by any stretch,there was thick dust on the blinds in the lounge,other than the settee you would have to be the size of a child to fit in the chairs,so if there was four adults there would be not comfort.Please could you tell me where you store food that to us mere mortals that cannot afford to eat out every night need to cook with ? I understand it's a cottage but there is nowhere in the kitchen for this,as for the kitchen I had to go and purchase some for to clean the sink and washing up bowl before I used it,apart from changing the beds I could not see anything else the cleaner did,I would say the ensuite bathroom had not seen any limescale cleaning products for many many months,the inside of the shower was disgusting.If you think that these things make it a quant cottage then I suggest you go and have a look at it and see if you would be happy to spend £720.00 on staying there,that's unless someone flew in and gave it a massive spring clean after we left.The simple way to descibe this property is dated and grubby,and needs some money spent on it,I don't want to go on holiday to stay in a place that is far below the standards of what I live in,and I can assure you we both work and live in a small semi,and please don't tell me that it is the season for spiders,their webs have been hanging for months,it's a shame because the spare rooms were decorated well,shame about the downstairs.if someone does go in to have a look put your fingers on the radio knob,it's so dirty my finger got stuck ! I have stayed with classic cottages in Cornwall many times so I expect better from you,your standards are usually much higher.On a positive note the lady that booked the holiday for us was excellent,very efficient and friendly,a joy ! So was the lady that booked the ferry for us,nothing was too much trouble for her. Service that is rare these days but very much welcomed,thank them both from us. ...
