This house is fantastic! As our second stay, we were as impressed as the first time and plan to return again in the future! We loved the location as a base for walking into town and experiencing Cowes. For our group of four friends we found the house itself spacious, comfortable and well equiped.

We were a group of 8 girls longing for a weekend away. The Shak was perfect, spotless, warm, had everything we needed and more. Beds were unbelievably comfortable and bathrooms like a hotel. Water views gorgeous.
We’ll be back for sure. Highly recommend.

Very suitable for a large family as it rained most of the time
We liked the house very much and unfortunately had to spend a lot of time there because of the weather. Well equipped but beds were not made up and bedside light in room with two single beds was unplugged and not working. Another toilet would have been useful and lock on door of ground floor one didn't work. Otherwise it was raining most of the weekend but we had a very nice time and we had a good time in spite of the weather.

PERFECT LARGE FAMILY GETAWAY
Loved this house. Plenty of comfortable beds for everyone and with two entertainment areas it was perfect with kids. Everything was as listed on site, photos were true to life. Exceptionally clean, except for the BBQ, but we dealt with that and it was well used (and cleaned before we left). Ants were a bit of a problem, but the weather probably didnt help there. A bit of ant rid may help. Otherwise I wouldnt hesitate to book this house again. Very impressed .

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Shack. The design of the house catered to our needs. The views of the bay were beautiful. The location was walking distance to the shops and bay. The kids were thrilled with the DVD selection as some of them were recent releases.

We had a fabulous time at the Shack, nice property...modern, very clean, tidy and very neat. I can tell the owner of this place does know what it is when guests need to a break and providing nice and comfy beds etc.... Only one tiny glitch is that the room with the double beds has a smell and was not great to sleep in there. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. Thank you The Shack!!!

Fantastic house with water views. Has everything you need. Just a pity one of the bedrooms had such a bad smell it was unusable (this was also noted in the guest book by the people before us)
Other than that we had a fabulous time in The Shack

This house is simply stunning! Exceeded our expectations- The pictures dont do it justice! Very clean and spacious. Very comfortable for two families to stay in with 4 children. And room for much more. Loved the seperate living areas and huge backyard. Everything we needed and more. The only dilemma was the hot water system i wish we had been warned about. Otherwise beautiful and will definately stay again!
