Lovely spacious cottage close to the coast, a great base for exploring the Isle of white

The cottage was lovely and a short walk to the beach and if you walked along the sea front just round the bend you could see the Needles in the distance. It was a great base from which to explore the Isle of white.

We expected there to be some sort of welcome pack in the cottage but there wasn't so nothing to let us know about the facilities on site, where the bins were located (recycling) local places to eat or shop, places to visitor attractions, how to get to the beach also there was a gate which led to a quicker route to the beach which needed a code which we didn't have and didn't realise this till late in the evening towards the end of our stay.

Enjoyable stay in a relaxing location.

Lovely location, accommodation and outside private space. Not on a big site. Quiet. Closeness to beach and good restaurants.

Hot tub. Too many chemicals in it. Even after showering can’t get rid of the smell of bleach. Functions didn’t all work.

Cute and cozy. Hot tub was lovely, felt nice and comfortable that wasn’t being overlooked by other guests.

The floors were dirty and my baby had been crawling and walking around made his feet and knees black. Having to open the oven everytime we needed to get some cutlery as the oven handle blocked the drawer from being opened fully. Other than that everything else was all good and clean.

Great place to unwind on the beautiful Isle of Wight and I will returning next year

Location was great. The cabins were tastefully decorated and had everything you needed for a self catering trip. We went in winter so didn’t get around to swimming even though it was an indoor pool!! The cabins were warm and cosy and the beds and bedding was exceptionally comfortable 🥰 Staff were very helpful.

Nothing!

A wonderful weekend spent at The Bay Colwell.

From the moment we arrived, to, when we left, the staff were cheerful and friendly. The lodge was beautiful, its location provided lots of privacy, it was spotlessly clean, and a really comfortable and cosy place to relax. It was so well equipped. They had thought of everything. Great location to explore, and the village was close enough to pick up any supplies or have a drink and meal in the pub

Couldn't fault anything.

Colwell Bay Stay

The property was well located in a quiet area but less than 10 minutes from Yarmouth. The cottage was clean and cosy, with self-catering facilities well stocked. Comfortable bed and spacious living area. Nice patio.

When we booked it stated “WI-FI in common areas” but when asked they said they didn’t have it and to go to a coffee shop in town. A couple of things were broken when we got there (the remote control wasn’t working and the pedal for the bin), informed the team and were told they would come fix it, but no one did. Stated that toiletries were included but had to buy our own.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Bay - perfect base for walks and day trips

Location was brilliant, allocated parking, access to small pool. Easy and convenient

We really enjoyed our stay - but might be worth checking the inventory with them prior to travel as a few things weren’t available that were listed eg hairdryer

Huge disappointment.

Location, hot tub.

The shower was blocked completely. As soon as the water started to flow, it did not drain, so the shower was unable to be used. We alerted the staff regarding the issue and they said that they would inspect. However, the next day, there was no improvement, the water overflowed immediately into the bathroom floor. There was no follow up from the staff. This was so obvious, whoever had cleaned the shower prior to our arrival would have known just how blocked the shower drain was. This should have been sorted prior to any guests staying. Cleanliness of accommodation was poor, particularly the floor area that required cleaning on arrival. There were brightly coloured, childrens beads on the floor, that had not been cleaned up. Very disappointing. There was no WiFi in the accommodation and no mobile phone signal, so we were completely cut off. We were unable to plan our days out, until we had left the site and had internet connection. The bungalow was semi detached and not detached as expected. It was very noisy with the 2 families on either side being in such close proximity. You could hear the people speaking the adjacent bungalow and kids screaming and shouting. Prior to arrival, we had asked for a bungalow in a quiet area, but this was not addressed. As one family moved out, another moved in. Even though other parts of the site did appear to be much quieter. This was overpriced for the quality of the accommodation.

very good great staff great accommodation and great hot tub.

the hot tub, the area, the accommodation, bathroom, and the dogs were very happy. Enclosed area and privacy with the hot tub. It could have been a little warmer but i think it was set to 38c which was great. We were a short walk from the beach. Cute bag for the dogs, and treats and blanket for them.

no wifi, pool was closed but it did not really impact the stay.

Beautiful accommodation in a wonderful place, ideal base for seeing this wonderful spotless island.
