The stay on the whole was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a slight issue with the back door in regard to the locking but this was only a minor inconvenience. We will be back again.

We had a lovely stay in a luxury cottage. It was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The hot tub was an added bonus.

The bungalow was very well equipped and modern. The doggie welcome pack was a very nice touch. We liked the convenience of access to the beach and the little garden made looking after our pet very convenient. We were easy driving distance to the places we wanted to visit on the island.

The cottage had was lovely although broken shower head and leaking hose. Without a car this place is a long bus ride to get to the middle and east side of the island. At least an hour each way. The place is dog friendly and each morning we were woken up by yapping dogs that never seemed to stop. My partner made use of the pool which he loved. There is a path to the beach via a coded gate but we were given the wrong code at check-in. Overall it was a nice place to stay and the cottage was kitted out with everything you'd need.

Loved the appartments and hot tub! Amazing location too. On the downside there was water leaking on the floor when you stepped on a certain panel. Also the checkout is very early and checkin very late. I sent a question about the late checkin but didn’t receive a response.

Lovely accommodation, very spacious with a deck and garden furniture to enjoy if you go during decent weather-we unfortunately went during the monsoon season apparently! Reception very efficient, everything explained; there is a small indoor swimming pool, a bar/coffee shop and a path to the beach off the site. In the kitchen there was an eco friendly welcome kit containing a j cloth, scouring pad, tea towel, dishwasher tablet and a tube of washing up liquid. There was a dishwasher and a washing machine. The only fault was that there was no frying pan, so no bacon butties, but we survived somehow. Colwell Bay and Totland Bay short drives away, or there is a coastal path if you are feeling energetic.

Our cottage was very clean and the dinner table laid out for four ,bed was a little on the hard side but didn't stop me sleeping, everything was spotless very helpful check in staff, not far to the beach with private gated entrance ,overall a good place to stay ,our second visit and probably not our last

Nice accommodation fairly close to the beach. However, it was not suitable for a family of 5. Good double and twin rooms, but the fifth bed was in the kitchen / lounge on a sofa “bed” that was really not fit for purpose. Very, very uncomfortable. Asked at reception for a spare mattress and didn’t get anything. In the end after two nights on the other actual sofa (which was preferable to the sofa bed) went out and bought a blow up air bed!

Asked for travel cot to be ready on arrival, it wasn’t. Huge urine stain over one of the sofas which took a whole day for someone to come to sort it out. Accommodation felt dirty in places. Bed was I comfy - mentioned this but nothing done. Hot tub wasn’t on the decking area but instead around the back which isn’t handy when the children are wanting to go in it. Indoor pool very cold, children were shivering and we couldn’t stay in it longer then 20 minutes. Was very disappointed with the staff, they didn’t seem to care and the place felt neglected compared to the other site of Whitecliff bay.

1. The pictures shown are not of Bay Colwell in Freshwater. 2. They do not have a "Premium Cottage" this is what we booked from their website 3. There is no wifi throughout the resort 4. Dishwasher did not work 5. No privacy curtain onto outside common areas. 6. At check-in we were offered what they called a luxury cottage this was no different to any of the others but we had paid extra for it. Totally dissatisfied with the booking process, misrepresentation and lack of facilities. We would not be returning do not trust the name "Away Resorts"

The whole trip was like a dream. Megan looked after us the moment we arrived with first class service. The chalet was incredible surpassed all expectations. Really lovely furnishings and very modern. There was a lovely sunny garden area all gated in which was great for our young children. The hot tub was very clean and was a lovely treat! The whole resort was well looked after, great clean pool, soft play (looked brand new). And to top it off the beach was only a small walk away with shops and lovely restaurants. The whole holiday was amazing. We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to go back! Thank you Megan for giving us first class customer service, so friendly and helpful and an absolute asset to the resort. And the whole lovely Stay Away team for looking After us. A great hidden gem!

Great accommodation, clean, modern. Little starter pack of supplies (washing up liquid, dishwasher tablet, black bag) was a nice touch, hot tub for each unit a great addition. Nice location with beach walking distance and nearby towns for everything else. All staff we came across were friendly and accommodating. Only criticism was indoor pool was too cold for our 2 year old so we only used it the once but understandable seeing as it is out of season and not in constant use.
