Summer Family Holiday

We had a great stay on the IOW, and this is the perfect base for it. Beautiful house with everything you need. Kids loved it. The facilities are amazing. It's a quick walk to the local pub and shop, and great location to drive anywhere on the island. I would definitely recommend staying here with a family.

Amazing place, fantastic location. Can’t wait to return

We were greeted by the hosts who couldn’t have been more helpful. They were super friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable about the local area. House was beautiful, clean and modern and had lots of things to do. We enjoyed playing some of the supplied games in the evenings. Location was perfect, walking distance to a local shop and lovely pub with delicious food and very friendly staff and lots of accessible walks nearby too. Perfect size house to share with friends as well. We will definitely be returning one day!

Just a lovely huge, light house to escape in. There is room for everyone and more and it’s so comfortable and peaceful. The hot tub is superb. If you have a dog, it’s ideal. It’s all enclosed and safe and the walks around about are out of this world. The house is in a chocolate box location. Fully recommend this property.

Well-appointed multigenerational holiday house

We were three generations including 2 very young children, aged 2&3, holidaying together. The house was spacious, light and very clean; the website description is very accurate. Every thing we needed was provided and in new or excellent condition. The garden was safe for the children. The village shop is within walking distance and has an impressive range and long opening hours. We found plenty to do nearby. Would definitely highly recommend!

Hawthorns is perfectly located for exploring the IOW. On the quieter side of the island but still well positioned. Excellent village with several shops and pub. village shop is a must. Great local beaches, some walkable to. Dog friendly also, both property and local beaches year round. Property well set up, furnished beautifully, and contained everything needed for a great break. Sarah very accommodating and informative both before and on arrival. Hot tub a great plus, along with the extensive patio furniture and garden loungers. Fantastic stay all round.

An outstanding property in a lovely area. The house is very modern and has every amenity you need for a great holiday. We liked the location of the property in the small village of Brighstone. This is away from the busy areas of the IoW. The village is very pretty with a pub serving good food, a tea shop and a comprehensive village shop and post office selling most things you could need. Newport was only about 15 mins away by car. Overall we were extremely pleased with the property.

Home away from home

The socialable Hawthorns property was perfect for us, a family ranging from 16 to 80 years old plus dogs. The "olds" and teenager slept downstairs whilst the middle aged slept upstairs. It is really well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen, to the washing machine and tumble dryer - must for us as a large family. The location was perfect too, lovely dog walking routes straight from the door. We enjoyed our morning walks to the beach. The picturesque village has a pub and shop which sells almost everything you need. Thank you Sarah and Ashley for a wonderful stay, we hope to see you again!

Amazing dog friendly stay

This was our first trip away with our rescue pups and this house (and the village too) could not have been more pup friendly and equipped. The garden was wonderfully secure, even the front garden and the dogs loved running around and playing all week. The house itself was clean and beautifully decorated and had everything needed for a relaxing stay. Sarah and Ashley were lovely and so kind to our timid pups on arrival, they also couldn’t have been more obliging and helpful! A wonderful week away in a lovely house! I’m sure we’ll be back!!
