Bathroom was TINY, can’t even fall over in it. The tv was not smart (ie can’t stream) it was a glorified motel with a bit of lipstick to make it look nicer. Photos on expedite were very strategically placed with nice angles!

Was a nice place, bed was reasonably comfortable. We had a downstairs room which meant I could hear people walking around upstairs.They were quite noisey with their footsteps. Maybe a rug or carpet to soften the noise of footsteps. Easy checkin, sent us a text with details and automatically allowed for late check in which was lovely. Easy to checkout with key drop off as well.

The Pod was good for a short stay, but probably best for singles not couples. The water coming out of the shower into the bathroom area would be stopped by having a lip or something. Clean, well presented, good location, well priced though so would stay again

Great price and nice staff, but...

+ We had one of their small rooms with a double bed. The price was great, it's an easy walk to a nice beach, and the staff was friendly. - The office hours are ~9-5 Mon-Sat so you have to call them to get questions answered, they never cleaned the room or replaced the towels, bedding, or coffee/tea (even after 4 nights), and it's not easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, etc. in Cowes. But we think the + outweigh the - and would consider staying there again.

The property we see in the advertisement is not the ones we received. We see the apartments like building in the photos, but we got like cabin rooms instead, was very uncomfortable. No daily housekeeping was there. We were there for 3 nights and no cleaning was done during the time period.

Everything was great, The Staff was amazing, really friendly and very patient with me and my father. However, the wet room bathroom leaves standing water after a shower. it wouldn't be an issue if it didn't spread out to the rest of the bathroom. wet socks are never fun. The back door of the room, either 10 or 9 (can't remember which one) doesn't seem to lock, however, this wasn't so much of an issue as the back area was closed off. But aside from that I would have given 5 stars. I loved the fact that my TV came with a chrome cast. (named "Back garden"?) although, it seems it's not consistent with all the rooms. As a "nice to have", If I could I would like to request USB sockets for charging devices. We hadn't brought the plug adaptors so we used the USB socket on the back of the TV which had to stay on to charge phones etc. The rest of the stay was great. I wanted to give 5 stars as I was pretty happy with it overall, had a great time and would come again! Thank you very much!
