Beautiful large home in handy village
House was lovely and large which with 5 adults and my granddaughter meant we all had space to enjoy. Stunning garden and right opposite a great wee pub. Lovely welcome pack! Which was great after being delayed and no shops open. A short walk (15 mins) to the beach Beds not so comfy a bit squeaky and lumpy so didn’t sleep great. And make sure you bring shampoo and conditioner as there wasn’t any.

Loved it! Beautiful House
We had a lovely stay here, the house was so much bigger than we thought and we really enjoyed it! The owners had thought of everything we had a lot of kids with us and there was plenty for us to do and they provided high chairs and cots and nothing was too much trouble. The only thing I would say is the location is lovely but if you don’t have a car it’s a bit far out, but we loved our stay and would come again. One more suggestion thought not part of the review is maybe getting a baby gate for when children stay, our kids kept going for the stairs every-time they had a chance, but that is just a suggestion! Thank you

Superb holiday in a lovely location
The house was very spacious and well equipped, especially the kitchen. The garden was big enough for the kids to play football and the house had everything we needed. The children liked having their own floor upstairs. The driveway was big enough for both cars and the bath was very nice. The shower was very powerful and hot, which was definitely appreciated. The bathroom downstairs had mould in the shower and one of the mattresses (rear room downstairs) was very uncomfortable. Initially the duvets were in the wrong covers which made them too small for the beds downstairs, but this was resolved by the team changing them. One of the velux windows leaked when it rained (left hand upstairs room). Overall I would definitely stay here again. The negative points above could be easily resolved to improve the overall customer experience.

Amazing family home in a perfect location
Property is so quiet, light and airy with lovely large rooms and absolutely everything you could need for a short stay or longer vacation (although we never did find the coffee machine). No toiletries, except for a couple of toilet rolls on arrival, but every conceivable kitchen utensil and plenty of storage everywhere. There was an abundance of games and indoor puzzles for children of all ages, and some outdoor toys for younger children. The milk and bread on arrival, together with cheese and butter was a lovely welcome bonus. We had an amazing week here on the main road, a short walk to the beach for some fabulous sunset walks. Property location is accessible to all main towns and villages. The pub across the road ( The Mitre) was welcoming and the food was excellent.

A lovely place to stay
From the moment we arrived we felt at home with a lovely basket of biscuits with tea coffee. A loaf,butter,cheese and milk. All the rooms were spotless and plenty and ready for our arrival. What a lovely surprise for the grandchildren to see the range of toys for them. All in all a fantastic place and we would definitely go there again.

Great family holiday property
Very well presented property, extremely clean, slight niggle the downstairs shower trap hadn’t been cleaned, and the outside light didn’t work. Beautiful white sheets and towels. Exceptionally well equipped kitchen and if you had a young family lots of games, puzzles etc.

5 Night short break at The Rowans
The Rowans is a nice comfortable cottage that is full of character, with everything you could possibly need for your get-away. We would happily stay there again. There was only 2 of us but the cottage has 2 downstairs bed rooms and 2 upstairs 'loft' bedrooms all very nicely decorated. The cottage is ideally situated across the road from the Mitre Pub and on the TT course.

Excellent holiday home
Stayed here for four nights and was very impressed. Very spacious, clean, comfortable and accommodating for a large group. On top of this, the customer service provided by island escapes was superb.
