Positives. Location was excellent and we were surprised how quiet it was given the location to town. The rooms were bright and a very good size. Lots of storage in each of the rooms. Negatives. Old dog faeces in the garden and a flower pot full of cigarette butts. Garden was not well looked after and we could not use the garden furniture due to it not being clean and some was covered in mildew. The kitchen was a fab size but it could have been better equipped. There was no full sets of matching glasses. The curtains throughout were of good quality but very poorly hung. The whole set in the kitchen/diner came down on day one, including the railing as it was not fit for the weight of the lined curtains. We we unable to get it back up. One of the curtains fell down in the room to the left of the front door as it had been hung by only threads so we didn't attempt to put it back up. The windows were dirty and not maintained (having to use blocks to prop open sash windows is less than satisfactory). The lights above the dining table and the in the main bathroom did not appear to work correctly. The bathroom was very dimly lit and the dining room lights came on sporadically. A lock on the main door would be practical.

We loved our stay and found the property to be spacious and very well equipped. It was an ideal location to take our dogs to the beach and a great base for us. A visit to ADA restaurant in Ryde is a must for anyone staying in Ryde. The only improvements we would say are the pillows are very thin, poor quality and the towels were no more than hand towels, certainly not bath towels. Agents were excellent, we had to call them out for the fire alarm, they were very friendly and efficient. We would have no hesitation to stay at this property again.
