Warm, comfortable, cosy, clean with everything to hand and easy to find. The welcome pack of cheese, bread, butter and milk was very thoughtful. Even the laid on weather for the week was glorious. Our only disappointment was not being able to utilise the garden as we would have liked due to it being unkempt. The grass was almost knee high in places with tree saplings of about 18 inches indicating no care for some time. A garden bench to sit on would be nice. Otherwise highly recommended.

We decided to go for a short "staycation" for a late Valentine's Day treat - we arrived on 29 February 2024 and left on Sunday 03 March 2024. The cottage is in a very isolated and very peaceful area - The Lhen, in Andreas - which is what we wanted! The cottage was nice and cosy inside and was full of character - but, with all the current mod-cons you would want. It was very interesting to read about the history of the cottage, its previous owners and the surrounding neighbourhood. We saw a a young rabbit, a pheasant and various other birds in the cottage's garden. We did a bit of stargazing and did a lot of exploring the local environment. We also had a couple of excellent meals at the local pub (The Grosvenor) in Andreas. It would be nice to come back and stay in the cottage in the summertime. It would be good if there were further similar thatched cottages that you could stay in on the Island.

Super location and a nice, quiet cottage. A few minutes walk from the beach and a short drive to get to the hill walks. However, there are mice, so food needs to be packed away. There was also a damp smell coming from somewhere in the kitchen.

Really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cute cottage in a lovely location. Everything was perfect apart from on 02 little things which is why I have given a four. These were in particular the bed, which seem to be falling to pieces on the right hand side And upon entering and exiting the bed and turning over in the night, made horrible squeaky noises which kept us both awake. We did try and repair a bit but it needs to be sorted out. Other pointers were quite a few of the mugs in the kitchen were chipped And the Denby cooking ceramic dish in need of being thrown out as it has very large cracks in it. Also felt that the cottage had not been cleaned properly as on many surfaces. There was loads of spider poo. Clean some of it away, but felt it could do with a thorough clean .
