  • "The house was well equipped, clean and well maintained and very warm."

    King size beds were very comforatble. Secure and quiet garden and small lawn well suited to the needs of our dog. External sitting and dining area and bbq very nice, shame about the weather.

    Thank you for your lovely feedback. It was great to welcome you a second time and will be hoping for sun and kind weather for your next visit. Many thanks Property Owner

  • "Great place to stay."

    Super clean and plenty of great appliances. Beds weren’t that comfy but not bad. Great location, 20…ish minute walk down into Cowes, great for exploring, no where is too far away on the island.

    Thank you for your feedback and I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay. I’m sorry you say the beds were not to your ideal taste. The beds and mattresses are hotel standard and of medium firmness. The king size beds are zip and link and can be separated to suit. I hope you will come back to enjoy the Isle of Wight again soon. Liz Property Owner

    Perfect spot to visit the whole Island, everywhere is only about 20-30 minutes drive away. Would recommend.

  • "The house is very well provisioned."

    Everything catered for and good heating .Second bedroom needs a bedside table but hardly any space! Car space at the side quite tight and nasty in the dark. Space to front not really useful as a car parked opposite means no one can pass.

    I am pleased you enjoyed the facilities the house has to offer. The house has space for larger vehicles allocated at the side of the property. There is sensory lighting at the side/back entrance and an internally controlled outside light at the front of the property. I will make sure these are checked regularly and in good working order. Many thanks for your feedback. Property Owner

  • "Property is in a great quiet location, and is very clean and tidy."

    The downstairs area and new kitchen (and new appliances) are great. Lovely outside space - perfect for the dog. Only downsides were as follows. (1) Listing states private driveway. This is not the case, there is a small space to the side of the property, but this was difficult to access in a larger car owing to the number of other cars parked alongside here. This should not be listed as a private driveway. (2) A few essentials missing which you would expect to be present in a self catering property - Baking Trays for Oven, Dustpan and Brush, Hairdryer, Ironing Board, More hangers in wardrobes. (3) Upstairs was a bit of a let down compared to downstairs. Some modernisation is needed to bring the property to the same standard upstairs and downstairs.

    I am so pleased you had a lovely time and enjoyed the peace, cleanliness, use of the modern kitchen and outside space. Allocated parking is available at the side of the property for larger vehicles if the space on the property is too small. There are no timing restrictions for vehicles on the roadside at the front of the property and in the surrounding area. The objects you were looking for have now been made easier to find in the cupboard under the stairs. I have provided more coat hangers so thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

  • "A very welcoming house, lovely decor, a well equipped kitchen, even some toys for the dogs."

    Plenty of room for the 5 of us & 2 dogs.. Would love to come in the summer to get more use of the garden. Comfortable beds as well. Really really happy with our stay.

    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I am very pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back to 1 Westwood Close soon. Liz X Property Owner

  • "Good central spot for Cowes and Gurnard."

    Parking a bit haphazard but neighbours friendly and helpful. Ideal for us as a couple but second bedroom would be a bit of a squeeze and sliding bedroom doors would disturb other sleepers. Generally well equipped and modern and is quiet.

    Thank you for your feedback and I am pleased you enjoyed your stay. I have taken all your comments with gratitude and will address making the available parking on the property clearly signposted, and a bit if oil on the door. We have a kingsize bed in the second bedroom that can be reorganised into a twin room to suit guests’ needs. The beds are very comfortable so I am reluctant to make them smaller but I am aware that if I did, there would be more room and appreciate your thoughts on this. Property Owner

The property

Nestled on the outskirt of Cowes, a bustling port town upon the Isle of Wight is 1 Westwood Close, a fabulous, three-bedroom home.

Just a short journey away from a hub of amenities and the beach, 1 Westwood Close offers five guests a well-equipped base for a self-catered stay, complete with a pet-friendly garden, open-plan living space, and flexible sleeping arrangements.

Park up on the private driveway, making your way into your new abode.

Be welcomed by the open-plan living space, where you can unwind on the plush sofas, prepare meals, and gather as the wine is poured and the conversions flow over dinner.

If the weather allows, make the most of the enclosed patio, where you can dine alfresco as your furry companion roams freely in the sunshine.

Return indoors to complete your nightly routine in the shower room, before selecting between three well-appointed bedrooms, including two king-size (zip/link), and a single.

Awaken to a fresh coffee in the suntrap conservatory, before heading into the town to dine out, stock up on the essentials, visit Cowes Golf Course, people watch at Cowes Harbour Shepards Marina, enjoy a seaside stroll along Gurnard Bay, or brush up on your local knowledge at East Cowes Heritage Centre.

Travelling towards Newport, stop off at the Monkey Haven - Primate Rescue Centre, and the Butterfly World IOW, ideal for animal lovers, whilst the impressive structure of Carisbrooke Castle is waiting to be toured, also hosting several visitor events.

Enjoy your time in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, travelling south to the vantage point of Whale Chine, or head north for a day at Ryde Beach, followed by a bite to eat along the pier.

Escape to the Isle of Wight at 1 Westwood Close.

About the location

COWES

Newport 5 miles; Ryde 12 miles; Shanklin 14.5 miles; Ventnor 15.4 miles; Freshwater 13 miles.

The bustling port of Cowes is situated by the mouth of the river Medina, and is divided into two distinct towns, linked by the regular floating bridge chain ferry. Both communities have much to offer visitors, with West Cowes known as a world famous yachting centre, with superb facilities for all kinds of watersports, as well as being considered the cycling gateway to the island with the National Cycle Route 23 running through it. It also has a beach and a wealth of excellent restaurants, inns, and plenty of interesting niche shops; there is something for everyone with a fabulous vibe. East Cowes is best known for Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s Italian style country retreat - a tour of the sumptuous royal apartments and magnificent gardens is a must. Cowes is an ideal base for exploring the rest of the island, such as sandy beaches, lovely walking country, picturesque chines and many family attractions such as the The Needles and the Isle of Wight music festival.
