Very little. Misleading advertising. Left to wait on the doorstep for 15 minutes while owner was inside. Poky room, small table to eat on, poor poor poor

Where do we start. Left on the doorstep in the pouring rain trying to get in. Owner not answering calls or texts (even though she was inside) this is advertised as a ‘One bed Apartment”. The minimum you would expect is an actual bed surely…. No. It’s a sofa bed. Yep a sofa bed at £100 a night. Oh and it’s a very small sofa bed. 3’ 10’’ wide. (A small double is 4’ 6’’ btw) more on the infamous bed in a bit… The room was clean if somewhat gloomy. Lovely view over a block of council flats from the main (only) room. Little kitchenette was clean but down steps. Not very practical and not for those with poor mobility. Dated, uninspired bathroom design. So very disappointed. It is advertised as an apartment. It is not, It is a single room with a tiny kitchenette. There is no bedroom. It is a single room with a small Sofa bed. The final straw was when i opened it up and laid on the bed. So very very uncomfortable , I'm 5’11’’ and 12 st so average. I measured the bed its 3 foot 10 inches wide. So a single bed rather than a double. After half an hour of abject misery, a cup of tea and some chips, we went and booked a travelodge. Low and behold they actually have beds in them! Felt ripped off and the owner began by attacking my partner verbally!!! Not what i would expect from someone establishing a business. She actually said she knew the advertising was wrong but Booking.com would not let her change it (she said they would charge for an additional ad tbh). I asked if she knew what the size of a small double bed was, she rather sheepishly looked at the floor as i said i had measured the bed and 3’10’’ is not a small double. Be careful looking at the reviews here as there are 2 rooms and the reviews are predominantly for the best room. My advice would be to find somewhere else. As a bed should be the minimum expected!! Shall be using the PayPal money back scheme and Small Claims court as the owner will refuse refunds. Booking.com won’t get involved.

Location, decor and host - the home made scones were such a treat - plus all the items in the fridge :))

A bit noisy from the road

Our host, Christine, provided milk, eggs, breakfast cereals etc. She also very kindly made us delicious brownies and other goodies.

Noisy roadworks along the street.

Everything was perfect, eggs milk wine etc was left for us, very friendly owner who answered our questions regarding the area.

Everything was fine, maybe if I'm being picky, a more comfy settee, but it wasn't that bad.

Beautiful, newly decorated, first floor, one bedroom flat with open plan kitchen and large bathroom. The place is equipped with everything you need and more. Christine's close attention to detail makes it a very pleasant place to be.

Location is perfect for exploring the island with bus stop within 200 meters. Apartment was very clean and comfortable with a nice kitchen to do the odd bit of cooking. Christine left us lots of goodies to eat plus tea, coffee etc. Very nice and welcoming. She kept our bags on the arrival and departure day which was great as we used the ferry to come over.

Going home.

Very clean, well kitted out, great location.

Tasteful and thoughtfully equipped.

Nothing

Accommodating host. We were walking the coastal path up to Luccombe and appreciated being able to leave car to collect at end of the day. Well equipped and stocked kitchen for breakfast. Convenient for town centre and restaurants

I'm 6'2'' and found the sofa bed uncomfortable

The property was immaculate and beautifully presented. On site parking directly to the front of the property. Close proximity to the high street and beach. Self contained apartment with all the home comforts. Lovely touch by Christine to supply lots of breakfast options, including various cereal, croissants, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and topped off with a couple of small bottles of wine. We found Ryde to be a good base to explore the island from with good pubs and restaurants nearby.

1. Cleanliness 2. Friendliness of hostess 3. Vegan treats

Nothing to not like about the property

The property was absolutely amazing, 5 star and was immaculate throughout. Stunning living room, kitchen area, bedroom and bathroom. It was so beautifully and tastefully designed and furnished, very spacious and had just such a beautiful chilled relaxing ambience. It was full of warmth, character and personality. The facilities (including kitchenware, crockery, appliances, usb sockets etc) were brilliant and perfect…. everything you could think of and you could want for nothing else. The personal touches provided by the host were just incredible… milk, eggs, condiments, croissants etc… just so thoughtful. The location was only less than 5 mins walk to the High Street which was great… although, the property was so beautiful, that we chose to just spend more time in it just chilling. The host, Christine, was just outstanding. So friendly, so attentive, so accommodating, so thoughtful and kind… Hosts like Christine just make any stay that bit special. It was an absolutely fantastic stay and made for a very special birthday weekend for Robert and I. Would definitely highly recommend this property wholeheartedly and we will definitely be returning.

Absolutely nothing!!!!!

A beautifully decorated apartment with lovely little touches to welcome us . Only about 300 metres to the high street with the sea at the bottom, very convenient. Christine was a lovely helpful host.

This larger apartment was at the front by the cross roads and traffic lights , but being a small town wasn't too noisy. This alone makes me give a 9 rather than a 10 .

great location and near bus stops. parking, spotless. lovely personal touches eg. homemade cake, milk, eggs, bread, butter, wine and more

n/a

A beautiful property that is a generous sized and a great layout.

A great deal of though and care has gone into the renovation of this property. it is beautifully decorated and furnished with quality bed linen and towels. It has everything you need and breakfast was excellent too.

We are a family of 5 so used both flats. great decor, really comfy sofa bed and amazing breakfast

nothing!

a beautiful quirky apartment! attention to detail was unreal ! Home comforts were outstanding providing home made muffins and a fridge full of food was most unexpected! The apartment was beautifully clean and fresh .

Lovely property and very welcoming and nice host

Personal welcome from the host Christine, with home baked cake for me and treats for my dog

Nothing at all

Our second stay with Great Hosts . Beautifully decorated and clean and fresh. We were lucky to have lovely weather too, and the sea view from the balcony was a bonus . Everything we needed and a delicious fresh cake baked for our arrival and lots of extras we weren't expecting. The bed was so comfy. The location again was great. All local amenities and close to shops bars and restaurants. We enjoyed a lovely meal at the castle hotel. Would highly recommend. And will definitely be returning ourselves!

Nothing at all .

Beautifully renovated apartment especially the kitchen and bathroom. Christine is wonderfully caring and friendly host. Personally greeted me on arrival. Gave tour of house including deluxe balcony apartment that I’m planning to book. She provided homemade muffins. Wonderful gluten-free ingredients for breakfast. Spotlessly clean. Eco-friendly facilities. Eco aware.

The sofa bed is clearly made of the best quality. I loved it as a seating device but wasn’t keen as a sleeping device. Purely person choice and I should’ve given more thought before booking as to whether it would suit me.

The care and attention to detail

The flat is very spacious with a modern design of an open kitchen. It was easy to have a conversation while preparing meals. The room was well warmed up given it was the winter season. The place was spotless clean when we arrived and Christine was an amazing host. Breakfast ingredients were provided and she also caters for vegetarians/vegan/gluten free diets. She provided plant based milk and butter for me as I am lactose intolerant. The kitchen is also very well equipped. The aesthetic of the rooms are also quite pleasing. I would highly recommend and Christine made it worth our stay.
