Situated in East Cowes, the recently renovated Marina, Families are welcome provides accommodation 1.2 km from Osborne House and 23 km from Blackgang Chine. This homestay features free private parking, full-day security and free WiFi. The property offers allergy-free units and is located 8.3 km from Robin Hill.

The host was simply amazing. She should charge more per night that is an absolute no brainer if you’re like me and have been staying in hostels and want a break in a room of your own. Completely exceeded my expectations and can’t recommend this place enough. Totally good to bring a family as well.

Luxury House in Warsash. In Warsash provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a shared lounge. This property offers access to a patio, table tennis, free private parking and free WiFi. The property offers allergy-free units and is located 12 km from Ageas Bowl.

I stayed in this property for a week and I can only give a positive review about it. Communication with the owner was easy and checking in was fast. Peter was a cordial person, happy to help and always checking if the conditions of the house were ok and genuinely showing an interest to make my stay at the house a pleasant one. The property is a 5 min walk from the bus station, supermarkets, restaurantes and pharmacy. 15 min walk from Warsash Maritime Academy which was very convenient for me. I was able to do my laundry, had an allocated spot for my food. The room and the bed were comfortable and the bathroom was good.
