Perfect escape from the city. Beautiful views and relaxing walks just outside the door. Full amenities and everything you need in the flat. Shops and restaurants are nearby and we can heartily recommend the super-dog-friendly and welcoming Highdown Inn.

A lovely, spacious apartment and very comfortable. It's very well equipped and the decor is light and tasteful. Beautifully clean. The property is in a secluded spot and the views from the terrace (facing west) are wonderful - gorgeous sunsets on a couple of evenings. Lovely coastal walk nearby up to Tennyson Monument and then down to The Needles.

The apartment has the most amazing views over the farmland to the sea and there is plenty of parking. Everything was provided including milk and a bottle of wine. There are loads of places to visit on the island and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return someday.

The location of Tennyson Wing Cottage is absolutely fabulous. Although a bit tucked away in a small lane, it is easy to get to a nearby farmshop and bar. Yarmouth and Freshwater are only 5 to 10 minutes away. The cottage has all amenities for a relaxing break. The view from the living room and the terrasse is spectacular. We visited with two doggieRead mores and enjoyed walking onto Tennyson Downs from our doorstep. All in all we had a great time and look forward to coming back. Hide

We were very pleased with everything about this accommodation. All the comforts of home, including binoculars to admire the stunning view. Books, games and puzzles for all the family. Its a bit tricky to find when you first arrive as its up a small track. But good instructions were given. You will need a car to explore, although Tennyson Downs is lRead moreiterally on your doorstep with a short walk to Tennyson Monument. Hide

Second time for us at this property and we do love the views and the scenery and walks that are on the door step. Its a great base to stay at would love it to be just a little bit more comfy for wet days when you want to laze about and relax. Its a very quiet and peaceful place to be.
