All communication about the booking was prompt and helpful. Ella Phillip Island in Cowes was so beautiful, clean, comfortable and elegantly appointed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will be booking again for next year. Loved our time there.
We were all amazed with this house, it was stunning and so close to everything. The house has everything you need and was clean and organised. I will definitely consider staying here again
This property is absolutely stunning and beautifully styled, equipped with everything we needed. It can easily accommodate several groups, and the spacious, comfortable bedrooms were definitely a highlight. The kids loved the pool! The host was fantastic to communicate with before our stay and even left us a lovely welcoming gift. Highly recommend.
