Excellent location for visiting most of the highlights of the Island. It was an amazingly well equipped apartment with almost anything you could possibly need. Was very impressed when the oven had a fault on the Sunday and it was replaced with a new one before we returned the following afternoon. Overall would thoroughly recommend..

A lovely clean property, well equipped, great location with the added bonus of a spa. Friendly and helpful hosts we would definitely book again, a great base to explore the Isle of Wight.

We were made very welcome by Rob & Sue, everything was absolutely perfect. Such a lovely place, the views are spectacular, the hot tub is a great bonus, would be even better in long summer evenings. It’s definitely on our list to visit again in the future.

From the onset we had a very friendly welcome from Sue and Rob. They showed us around the property showing us all the facilities in full, we settled in very quickly. This is a very private residence with enjoyable views to the east for the sunrise, with plenty of places to comfortably sit to enjoy the view. Sue and Rob were nearby should we have needed them , but did not interfere or bother us during our stay. Because we found everything we needed we didn’t need to contact them. When we came to leave they gave us a good send off. It is not boutique accommodation but is a very comfortable place to stay having all things you would have back at home. Beds were clean and comfortable with adequate storage space, and the large jacuzzi sunroom was an added bonus which we enjoyed. We would happily stay here again as it’s ideally located for the local attractions.

Very clean. Really well equipped, even books and games, plus a minocular to bird watch! Stunning view. Comfy beds. Close to bus stops and short walk to station. Garden with lots of seating. Hot tub a bonus. Friendly helpful hosts. Quite a lot of stairs, so maybe not so good for older people or small children. Overall a great place for a holiday.

Beware the Landlady’s wrath if you fail to obey the house rules. Our “crime”? Allowing a visiting dog across the threshold. My husband had called into the property on his morning run to assist our son to pack up and leave at the end of their stay. Unfortunately, he was running with the dog. Within minutes of his arrival there was loud banging on the door. The Landlady was extremely angry that we had transgressed the “no pets” rule. Husband and dog left immediately with profuse apologies which were not accepted. The landlady’s vituperations continued with much haranguing of our son causing considerable upset as he tried to complete their packing. This spoiled an otherwise lovely week of family celebration. The property is situated between a busy main road and the railway line. There’s a parking space which requires precision reversing in from the main road while a queue of traffic builds up behind. The 2 bedrooms are somewhat affected by traffic noise, although from the back of the property there are splendid views of the river Yar and Gander and Bembridge Downs. There is a hot tub although this is better described as a “tepid” tub. A note on the wall says that the water temperature can be increased upon request. However, it is unclear what such a request might provoke given the Landlady’s short fuse. Self-catering holidays such as those offered by Vrbo are no longer a cheap option especially in high season on the Isle of Wight. There is much competition from other accommodation providers. Our experience at 1778496 means that in future we consider alternatives options. We recommend that others do the same.

We stayed for a conference at Brading Roman Villa, and so the property was very conveniently located. Really well equipped (everything you need in the kitchen) clean and comfortable. Lovely conservatory with not tied and garden overlooking the hills.

Very well set up with anything needed for self catering. The jacuzzi is great fun and very romantic for a couple. Very very private. Location is not bad for touring the island. Parking is a pain and and I am not sure how it would work for a family with younger children .

Owners good, conflicting info about check in, amenities OK but needs a refurb, quick to sort out a couple of problems,

'Foinavon' was a wonderful base for our week in the Isle of Wight with everything we could possibly need, plus accommodating and welcoming hosts in Rob & Sue. The spa and balcony, quite literally, made our daughter's break complete!

My husband, our 19 year-old daughter and I stayed at this property for a week in July 2021. It was easy to get to from the port and we received a wonderful welcome from Rob and Sue, who showed us round the property. The property has absolutely everything you could need. We wanted for nothing. Rob and Sue had thought of everything. We went out everyday to explore the island, as there is so much to see and do, but when we were back at the house we relaxed, played games, went in the spa... The view from the conservatory is wonderful. I would recommend this property wholeheartedly.

We loved staying here. Everything was just about perfect from the hot tub to the views. Just sitting out on the balcony having breakfast was a great way to start our day. There is everything you need, it was a home from home. The parking is very tight and the property is situated on a busy main road with poor visibility so I'd advise someone to guide you in and out at peak times. Also we wanted to spend most of our nights in after full days of activities the TV channels are pretty basic so I'd recommend you take dvds you can sign into netflex too. Overall loved staying here the owners are on hand if you need them but are totally unobtrusive. Brading is central to Sandown and Ryde. There's a great bus service. Totally recommend here for a holiday.

Lovely apartment with great views. Comfortable,clean and well equipped. Great attention to detail.

Amazing outlook at rear. Property well equipped but a little dated. The busy road would put me off staying here again

We really enjoyed our stay in Foinavon... Perfect little place for a family of four! Clean and tidy and equipped with everything we needed - even beach toys and garden games... The owners are very friendly and happy to pass on their local knowledge. The views out the back are really quite stunning and the hot tub is a welcome treat after a day exploring the island. Would gladly stay here again.

We had an amazing time! The views are wonderful and there are walking paths close to the house- beautiful path towards the beach! It’s easy to move around the island and there is plenty to do in the nearby towns. Thank you for your hospitality! Monika

We had the most lovely stay enhanced by the good weather. The accommodation was great, everything you could need and a lovely homely feel. We loved the outlook from the garden and loved hearing the train go past, brought back memories to childhood. Location was great, easy to reach all attractions by car with the added bonus of the train taking you to Shanklin and Ryde and all stops between. Would definitely recommend this property to our friends and family and will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The property was great, exactly as described and well equipped. The owners responded quickly to questions before we went, and were more than welcoming when we arrived. They had good covid procedures in place, and the accommodation had been well cleaned before we arrived.And what can we say about the spa? Amazing way to relax the muscles after a day walking the local hills.We've already recommended this place to several work colleagues, and will definitely look to book again.

A really comfortable place to stay with all that you need. Even better on sunny days of which we had a few. A good place from which to go walking with plenty of footpaths and great scenery. Thoroughly recommend this place.

I can't fault the hosts or the property. Greeted by Sue and Rob on arrival, they were so welcoming and made themselves instantly approachable incase we needed anything for the week we stayed. Rob showed us around, and it was lovely to see how much Foinavon and the Isle means to him. The bedrooms are a great size, not pokey in the slightest. The living room was cozy and the kitchen sufficient. The Bathroom was spotless and a really good size. The little balcony off the lounge looking over Culverdown is really lovely, and as the house is East facing, it catches the morning of sunshine perfectly. The downstairs conservatory room is very spacious, and the spa jacuzzi is very clean, well built and well thought out. It was wonderful after a day exploring the island to return and jump in for a bit of a wind down. We even set up a laptop and streamed a movie whilst we were in the tub on a few nights. The Dart board was a very welcome addition, and Rob even replaced some missing darts, which was above and beyond, we were fine working with the 5 darts available, but he still went out and got a replacement as soon as he could. The garden is lovely too, and the views are spectacular. There was an abundance of seating throughout the property, so you could def find one that suited you. Our 13 year old really enjoyed it too, and we played Hide and Seek, a tradition for us to do where ever we stay... Foinavon especially was great for this with so many potential spots. All in all, I have only good things to say, it was a joy to stay here and we loved all the nods to Rob and Sue's own personality on the place. It felt very homely! Thank you both for a lovely holiday.

This property is all you could ask for and more even if youve forgotten something chances it will be there. We did an online shop to be delivered before we got there and they put the majority of it away for us. They hot tub and the views really make this holiday. Perfection is this holiday.

We had a great stay at this accommodation! The owners were very welcoming and open to communication and advice. This accommodation is near various public transport stations and provides easy access to the East side of the Isle.

Excellent, bright and spacious apartment with character. Lovely spa pool in conservatory with a lot of space to relax. All appliances clean and in good condition - everything you need for a self-catering holiday. Very close to bus stops and railway station with frequent services to provide a break from driving. Also close to pubs (walking distance) two of which have good restaurants. Owners very friendly and helpful - very highly recommended.

Spotless, lovely views. Well thought out by the owners. All you could want and a bit more besides. With added spa pool in the huge conservatory ....we spent every evening in there. In a nutshell Fantastic!!

This house had almost everything you could ever need. The kitchen had every implement I could ever need to cook with and was spotlessly clean. There were lots of little touches such as providing hand soap, washing up liquid, spa towels, tea, coffee, milk, baking paper, foil, toilet rolls and bread which made a good impression. The jacuzzi was fabulous after a busy day to relax in at the start of the week. The train that runs at the bottom from 7am till 10:30pm ish delighted my son and every time it whistled he ran down to wave. The bedrooms are at the front of the house so the noise doesn't bother you if you shut the windows. The hosts are lovely people, they tumble dried for us and exchanged our towels upon request.

Great location to access lots of the island and beaches. We were well looked after and left alone as needed - perfect hosts. Would definitely book again, thank you.

Excellent property, beautiful views, with the added advantage of having a Spa in in the conservatory. Although it did not detract from our stay, be aware that the main Brading Road traffic can be heard from the bedrooms with the windows open. It is obvious that the owners have spent a lot of time making the fittings and furniture of the property to a very high standard. Great hosts.

Every thing was 1st class,the only thing that spoilt our holiday was the very busy road and difficulty in parking.

Iow well worth the visit with plenty to do and see

A cozy, comfortable and very well equipped apartment with welcoming, helpful and considerate hosts. Wonderful sunrises and a magical full moon rise above Culver Down! A quiet and calm location, despite the railway to one side and road to the other. Perfectly placed for exploring the island. Wonderful breakfasts on the balcony accompanied by the dawn chorus from the RSPB reserve opposite to magical evenings in the hot tub! A lovely holiday

Everything about the accommodation itself was very good and the owners were so,helpful. The view was beautiful. The jacuzzi excellent. However we did experience difficulty in parking our car in the allotted space. It felt quite hazardous, being alongside a main road. Also we had not realised there would be a flight of about 18 steps down to the accommodation - OK for us but potentially a problem for others.
