Nice and cosy with plenty of heating for our wintery visit. Fire place with fire wood supplied was a nice touch. Lots of space and plenty of bathrooms / toilets. Very close to shops and cafes.

Cowes Retreat

What a wonderful little gem we have found here in Cowes. The lion claw bath was straight out of a romantic movie... pure bliss. The beach house itself is styled thoughtfully, is quaint with it’s restful beach theme and just the ticket for us tired Mummas to rest and unwind away from the responsibilities of family life. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you ever so much!
