Isle of Wight Self Catering cottage, The Retreat, Wroxall, sleeps 2

Lovely quiet location on the Appuldurcombe Estate
My wife & I just returned after a very enjoyable long weekend here. We found the accommodation small but comfortable. The photos make the rooms look bigger than they are but it's fine. We had our two dogs with us and they loved it too. The Retreat is tucked away behind the main building so was a little tricky to find on the dark wet night we arrived. The bed was comfortable and clean (located on the top floor). The bathroom is just off the stairs and everything else on the ground floor. The TV was great, better than you usually find in holiday lets. The location is excellent, very close to Ventnor 10 mins drive max and very peaceful with nothing more than the rustling trees to fall asleep to. The house ruins are just a 200 yard walk downhill from the property. You can walk around it at any time although out of opening hours I recommend keeping at least 15 metres away so as not to set off the cameras and alarm. As far as cleanliness the property was good but not perfect, there were the odd cobwebs and some extra effort on general cleaning would be beneficial. The property heating works well and the hot water was good. The shower worked OK if a little weak and the kitchen was fine too, being fairly well set up and tidy..one cook at a time . If we have been critical then don't be put off, we would definitely return but probably take one of the rentals with a little more room. Perfect for 1 or 2 people to explore from.
