"We found the property clean, warm and very well appointed with everything we needed during our stay."
The welcome pack was extremely generous. Cathy we tried to say 'Good bye' but assume you were out . As we wrote in your visitors book Westmount is 'Simply the best' ! We would like to return in 2025.

"Absolutely wonderful, well appointed property."
Immaculately clean and well maintained. We enjoyed it so much, that we booked another stay directly. Thank you for such a smashing holiday.
-
"Lovely apartment/annex."
Everything was spotless and a great credit to the owner. Amenities and facilities were excellent. Free parking. And it was a very nice surprise to find a selection of food and drink in the fridge. An excellent location, and I can highly recommend this property.
-
"This was our 4th visit and will not be our last."
The welcome pack is still out of this world and you have everything you need on your first night and beyond. Westmount is clean and very comfortable like home from home. It was nice to see Cathy and her dog Sophie, our dog Rocky had a lovely time racing up and down the beautiful garden with Sophie. All being well we hope to come back next year.

Really enjoyed staying at this peaceful annexe in Ryde It was perfect for two adults and two small dogs, close to bus stops which was handy as we decided to travel by public transport Had everything we needed, excellent welcome pack and the shower is great Looking forward to visiting again
-
"Excellent property."
Very well Priced. Best welcome package left in fridge which was a great surprise and very very generous. Very central for exploring. A few bits could do with a refresh, like smart tv and better outdoor furniture. Very quiet area. Would stay again.
-
"The property is spotlessly clean, has everything you need and is incredibly comfortable & tranquil."
Perfect.
-
"Everything was fabulous including the very generous welcome pack, it was an amazing property to base ourselves in and we thoroughly enjoyed our week there!"
The owner was so welcoming when we arrived a bit early and she allowed us access. The bed was comfortable and the shower was brilliant. Everything was just perfect I couldn’t find one fault
-
"The property has everything you need for a comfortable relaxing break."
With enough food in the fridge on arrival that you needn’t rush off immediately looking for a supermarket. Ideal location for anyone who doesn’t want to use a car. With a network of car-free bike routes and footpaths leading all over the island. There are also regular bus services which will take you the length and breadth of the island for just a £2 single fare at the present.
-
"Whilst not high on kerb appeal this conveniently located property is all one needs as a place to relax and explore the Island."
We particularly enjoyed the generous welcome pack.
-
"We had a great holiday and the apartment was so ideal."
It was lovely that our dog could use the owner's garden (and play with her dog!) and the welcome pack was stupendous!!
-
"Westmount is a lovely cottage very clean and comfortable just like home every thing is there for a great holiday."
And the host is a very nice person.
-
"Excellent place,we keep going back already booked for later in the year Thanks"
-
"Internet very unreliable but we had our own."
Would prefer a dishwasher to a washing machine but not an issue. Car ferry prices so high would stop us returning which we would have.
-
"Our 2nd time staying at Westmount, this is an absolutely delightful, clean, relaxing place to stay."
We thoroughly felt so comfortable coming here. Cathy goes above and beyond to make your stay welcome. Thank you. Shane and Toni.
-
"Fabulous property all as described."
100% dog friendly Wonderful welcome pack Only slight draw back is if you have a big car parking is available but it’s tight Will definitely return
-
"Great place to stay."
Cathy is friendly and welcoming. Any minor problems occuring soon rectified through speaking to Cathy.
-
"Great location; close to the beach to walk the dogs."
A lovely surprised when we opened the fridge; great welcome pack. Property was lovely and spacious, our only issue was the television; signal not great on some channels and we logged onto the wifi on first day, but had no connection the rest of the stay. Which in a way was quite nice :) Definitely recommend and return
-
"This was our 2nd stay at Westmount."
It is nicely furnished and suits our needs with the dog. Very comfortable and enjoyable stay. TV was "iffy" even though we followed the instructions concerning only using the arrows to navigate channels. This really wasn't of great significance to us as we were either out visiting or had visitors each evening. Will definitely look to book again for our next visit.
-
"Brilliant cottage Everything is A1 Thanks"
-
"A smashing little annex just 5 minutes drive from the beach."
Sparkling clean everywhere and the most amazing welcome pack ever n the fridge. Cathy generously lets you use her beautiful expansive garden for your dogs too, which was a big bonus on top of another lovely stay here.
-
"Welcome package was absolutely fantastic shame we went shopping before we arrived"
-

"Stayed here three times now Will stay again I’m sure."
Had a great time , the property is ideally situated to get out and about. However you photo of the garden is very miss leading as it is the owners garden and not the one attached to the property. We were already aware as we had booked through a previous agent.
-
"The property was very well furnished/equipped and we had a great time."
We would be very happy to go back again. HOWEVER, the website showed the garden in at least 5 out of 30 pictures, and this garden is not accessible to the user. The website should be changed !!!
-
"Excellent"
-
"We had a good holiday in Westmount on our first trip to IOW."
It was comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped and the welcome pack was amazing. It was is well located to explore the island
-
"It was a very clean and quiet cottage and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves."
Excellent location as there were bus stops everywhere. The garden pictures were misleading — in reality we had a very small high fenced patio.
-
"This again was another great Sykes holiday cottage, it was everything you expect from a holiday, the welcome pack was great for the adults, the dog was well catered for with dog towels, bags and treats."
It was a great location for touring around the Island. Thank you. Beryl and Ian
-
"The Annex was spotlessly clean,the welcome pack was out of this world it had everything you needed."
The bed was very comfortable had good nights sleep. It provided everything you needed like lots of tea towels and towels etc and also they left chews for the dog which was thoughtful. The reason we did not give full marks because the garden in the advert showed a very large garden which we could not use. A very small patio came with the Annex was too small for the dog to exercise (lovely sun trap). Unfortunately I had to exercise the dog first thing in the morning and last thing at night (round the block). If we had not had the dog we would have given it top marks.
-
"Excellent really pleased and will visit again"
-
"Property was excellent and perfect for us."

"Been on many a cottage holiday, but this was one of the best, everything we needed was there."
-
"Bit tight for disabled parking but ok Wonderful friendly owners , Even posted me a charger which I left behind"
-
"Westmount is a handy place to stay being within walking distance of Ryde seafront."
The accommodation is ideal for 2 people with lots of homely touches. The kind owners had supplied an unexpected welcome pack containing some essentials and some treats. We enjoyed our break on the Island but will remember next time to check if the Isle of Wight Festival is on at the same time!
-
"The photographs on the website of the garden and rear patio are very misleading because they are in fact the rear garden and patio of the adjoining property."
This should be made clearer.
-
"When we arrived a nice surprise of food was placed in the fridge most thoughtful."
So clean and tidy with everything you needed. We will return to Westmount .
-
