Tennyson View

This property was warm and welcoming with everything needed for a happy holiday.

The linens and towels were pristine white and everywhere was super clean. It was a real privilege to be allowed to use it. The location for a family was ideal with a big park space nearby with gym equipment and playground and the beach less than ten minutes walk. We would love to return!

We have just returned from our second stay at Tennyson View in Totland/ Colwell Bay.

Being familiar with the house and area we were at home as soon as we walked through the door. House is extremely comfortable and clean and very well equipped. The discounted ferry tickets that the owners can provide is very much appreciated. The only small issue we had was with the TV which kept turning itself off, sometimes several times in a short space of time. But this would not stop us returning so hope to be back soon. Thank you

We had a lovely stay at Tennison View and from the moment we walked in we felt at home.

The lounge was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped with everything you’d need. The bedrooms were of a great size and all beds were very comfortable. It was really nice that we could sit and relax in a lovely little garden be it a bit neglected,there’s only a couple of things that we felt needed changing a stair rail on the left for one and also if you’re a little short not being able to reach the glasses that were too high up other than that we do hope we definitely would come back. You’re doing a great job Jo and Simon

We have just returned from our third stay at Tennyson View and we really think we’ve found the perfect holiday home .

Tennyson View is situated on a quiet street and is within easy reach of everything that the island has to offer, it’s also with walking distance of the beach. This made for a very pleasant evening walk. The house itself is really comfortable, as soon as we stepped inside we could tell that it had been cleaned really thoroughly for our stay. The bedding and towels were spotless. There are many lovely local places to eat but if you decide to self cater you will find everything you could possible need to make catering easy. This kitchen is the most well stocked kitchen we've ever encountered during many stays in other properties . The house is very comfortable with stylish furniture throughout the house, the beds are very comfortable and we had a lovely stay. The owners are able to book ferry crossings at a reduced rate and we really appreciated that. We travelled from Lymington to Yarmouth and it’s then only a ten minute drive to the house. We are already planning our next visit.

A fabulous little house, it was just what we wanted.

It had everything we needed and more and is situated just a 10 minute walk from the coast. We absolutely loved our stay at Tennyson View and would definitely stay again.

You have a lovely home away from home.

Your property was so clean and tidy (well done Liz) and attention to detail was amazing in terms of bits in the larder and under the sink. The beds were so comfortable and a good night sleep and the neighbours caused no issues, nor did we to them

Another lovely stay at Tennyson View, this is a home from home.

Spotlessly clean, comfortable sofas and beds. Kitchen fully equipt with everything you could possibly need and good quality. Owners offer great discounts on ferry crossings. Highly recommend and will be back. Thanks to Jo and Simon.

We had a lovely week in this very clean, comfortable, well-maintained house.

The location is good, on a quiet street with an easy walk to the nearby bays and car journeys to Alum Bay, Freshwater and across the island. The beds are very comfortable. The owners have thought of everything for the kitchen - it is very well equipped, and has a very large fridge, with a large freezer in the garage. We highly recommend this lovely house.

We really enjoyed our stay at Tennyson view, the property was clean, comfortable and was a good base for exploring the island.

Superb holiday accommodation with all the comforts of home.

Situated in a quiet area it suited us perfectly with plenty to do in the vicinity. Owners very helpful and arranging the car ferry for us was a huge bonus!

This was our second stay at Tennyson View and we were just as impressed as we were on our first visit .

As soon as we stepped inside we could see how beautifully it had been prepared for us, it was very clean and well presented. We have stayed in many self catering houses and this one has really been thought about by the owners so that everything you could possibly need has been provided. It made self catering very easy. Even though it wasn’t barbecue weather we were impressed that there is a barbecue and tools, maybe next time! The beds are very comfortable and the bedding and towels are spotless. There was always plenty of hot water. Tennyson View is in a very quiet street and there are lots of places to visit close by. It is very close to Yarmouth with easy access to the ferry. The owners are able to offer a discount on the ferry which we appreciated. We have already booked for next year and we are going to visit a different time of year to see the Island in a different season.

I believe the property stated there was a BBQ.

This was correct but not to have any coals or BBQ equipment was a big shame.

Had a lovely sunny week staying at Tennyson View.

House was very clean and comfortable with nice beds and plenty of towels. House is conveniently located to explore the island and only a few minutes walk to the lovely Colwell Beach and Totland front for a walk or swim. The discounted ferry crossing that the owners can provide was very much appreciated. Would definitely stay again.

Really lovely place - everything you could ever need was supplied - beautifully clean.

Nice area - speedy communication from owners when I queried something. Can’t fault the place in any way - would happily stay again.

We had a most enjoyable week at Tennyson View.

The house is beautifully furnished and co-ordinated, with top quality equipment/linens/towels etc and a pretty garden with solar-powered fairy lights which were delightful! We appreciated the welcome messages and goodies from Jo and Simon, who also arranged the ferry for us at a heavily discounted rate. We would not hesitate to recommend this lovely house to family and friends. It is conveniently situated for local buses and walks from the doorstep as well as the beaches of Colwell and Totland - a winner all around!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tennyson View.

Communication with hosts was great. House was homely and very clean. Super location as well. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay at Tennyson View, it was well equipped, clean, homely and a fantastic position for exploring.

The owners were very obliging and easy to contact to answer any questions. We would definitely come again! Thank you!

Perfectly located and well equipped property for the Freshfields area of the island to visit Yarmouth and the Needles.

We very much enjoyed our stay in Tennyson View.

It was convenient to be so close to the ferry port and our discounted fare was much appreciated. The house is very comfortable, clean and well-equipped and we appreciated the thoughtful welcome pack. As we weren't eating out much, we appreciated the amount of storage available for our self-catering supplies. The garage was very useful for drying off wet walking gear. All in all, a great place to stay.

We have just returned from our stay at Tennyson View, our first visit to the Isle of Wight .

We’ve had a wonderful holiday and Tennyson View has been a great place to stay. It is a convenient base for visiting the many places of interest on the island. The house is lovely and comfortable, a real home from home. It has been furnished with style and is very comfortable. There are comfortable sofas and an armchair in the sitting room and a great tv. There was everything we could possibly have needed in the kitchen if we had wanted to cook our meals. The beds are extremely comfortable and the bedding and towels were spotless , there was always lots of hot water. The owners were able to offer reduced fare for the ferry crossing which we appreciated. We would love to return to the Isle of Wight and Tennyson View would be our first choice.

Lovely clean property.

Great amenities. Location has been the clincher for us. 5-10 mins walk to the beach, places to eat and an easy short drive to Freshwater and Compton bay, also to and from ferry. The owners (Jo and Simon) have always been great answering our queries really quickly, they also kindly sorted discounted ferry fare - I would say this is crazy not to sort with them when you see the discount. The weather was kind to us all week and made the stay even better. Thanks very much.

Great place to stay, near to beaches and attractions.

Very well appointed no problems. Great holiday.

Great holiday home , very comfortable furniture kitchen fully equipped with everything you could have wanted, beds really comfy had a fantastic sleep.

Would recommend highly recommend this holiday home in a good location of the island. Thank you Jo and Simon . Michelle

We had a really lovely holiday at Tennyson View and the icing on the cake was good weather and staying in Jo and Simon's lovely home.

It had everything and more for a holiday, dedicated parking space, spotlessly clean, super comfy beds and easy access to great walks, beaches, shops and eateries. A real home from home for us, also the prompt replies to our questions and the organising of the discounted ferry tickets to and from the island. Thank you, Carolyn

We really enjoyed our holiday accommodation .

It had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The beach at Totland Bay is a short stroll away and we enjoyed watching the sunsets over the Bay. We visited the Waterfront restaurant and recommend it. The view is amazing. Compton Bay is a short drive away with its breathtaking coastline. We were within such easy reach of Colwell and Freshwater beaches that we were spoilt for choice. We would definitely like to stay here again Sue and Paul

Had a lovely week stay.

Owners were extremely helpful with obtaining the cheaper ferry crossing for our trip which was very much appreciated and were very easy to deal with. Though one of the bedrooms was not set up how we requested, this was able to be rectified very quickly which our party was grateful for. Beds were very comfortable and we found the property very relaxing and not too far from Totland Bay and the Waterfront Restaurant.

Lovely clean, well maintained property which met all our needs.

It is well equipped and the welcome pack was a nice touch. The property is located in a quiet Close and is well situated to access other parts of the Island. Jo kindly helped us book our ferry crossings at discount prices. We also had messages welcoming us and advising who to contact if there were any issues. We ate at The Cow, Jaffran Indian in Freshwater and had Sunday lunch at The Sun in Calbourne. All were excellent. We would thoroughly recommend Tennyson View and would certainly stay here again should we return to the IOW. Thank you Jo and Simon

Another lovely stay at Tennyson View, clean, comfortable in the perfect location for walking around West Wight.

New en-suite shower cubicle, new cooker and grass laid in back garden, all good improvements although the property is pretty much perfect. Looking forward to returning next year. Thank you

We have had a fantastic week at Tennyson view.

Having stayed in a number of comparable holiday homes around the UK, this was the cleanest, and most nicely decorated. We would thoroughly recommend it to anybody looking for a relaxing and hassle free break, and a well situated base from which to explore the Isle of Wight. We have two children, 3 and 1, who thoroughly enjoyed the space. Despite being November, there were lots of activities and family locations within a 30min drive to enjoy. Tapnell Farm and The Gossip cafe in Yarmouth were highlights for us. A cot and high chair were available at the house also, meaning we had less to pack. Simon and Jo thoroughly looked after us and we felt were always on hand should we need. They provided great discounts on the ferry crossings, were quick to respond and really looked after us. Thank you!

Fabulous we loved everything about it for comfort and cleanliness, the beds were so comfortable could not fault anything.

Where its situated is great.we are looking forward to March when we will be back again . Top marks.

Nice house, close to local shops and lovely walks to beach.

Lovely property.

Well equipt with comfortable bed. In a great location, only 10 minute walk to the beach. Recommend this property.

This house was absolutely fab.

Great space for our family. Our son loved the house so much he keeps asking to go back to the holiday house!

This is a lovely holiday home.

We’d definitely recommend this house. It was clean and comfortable. It’s in a good location, about 5 minutes drive from the ferry. It’s really quiet and you can walk down to the beach, which we loved. We like to get away from it all and prefer quieter neighbourhoods rather than somewhere busy. The island is quite small so you can easily get around to see the rest of the island.

A delightful property - it was clean, fresh, well equipped and exactly as described.

For us it was also ideally placed being under 10 minutes to walk to the local shops, or to Totland or Colwell Bay. We had a fantastic holiday and wouldn't hesitate to rebook here.

Tennyson view is a beautiful place to stay.

Very well maintained. Kitchen is fully equipped. There is everything in the house what you need. It was very tidy and clean. One of the best places we have stayed. Totland pier is walkable which is a bonus .

Tennyson View is as described a well positioned, refurbished house.

I’ll start with positives - beds comfortable, towels fluffy, water hot, furnished to high modern standard. All amenities inc washing machine which isn’t mentioned in the listing. Close to beautiful walks Sadly it’s let down by cleanliness. On first glance superficially clean however main bedroom bed head top had to be hoovered as thick dust. High surfaces dust ++.Mirrors smeared and beautiful tv streaked where screen wiped. Light switches greasy throughout. Old grease. Garden is lovely. But furniture dirty and covered in cobwebs and bird droppings. Such that we decided not to use. We emailed the owner to inform them as this spoils their beautiful house. But no acknowledgment from email they provided which is disappointing. I hasten to add as a family we are not nit picky but this was far from what we come to expect from holiday cottage standards, basic cleanliness on arrival

This is a well thought out property, quality beds, bathrooms and a well stocked kitchen.

The use of the garage to store bikes or boards is also a bonus. On the quieter part of the island but the beach just 10 mins walk away makes it a real relaxing area, but then you can cross the island in 50 mins so nowhere is far. We got the ferry from Lymington and it took 10 mins from Yarmouth to the house perfect.

We had a happy stay in Tennyson View for three nights and liked this cozy house.

Obviously it is newly refurbished and well decorated with everything you need for a family holiday. The property is located in a very quiet neighborhood, just five minutes drive to Tesco & Sainsburys Local for daily supplies and short distances to the sea front and attractions in west area. Nothing to complain!

A great property, a stone's throw from both Totland and Colwell bays.

Clearly recently refurbished with new furnishings and carpets throughout. Exceptionally clean and well presented. Kitchen well stocked with all the main accessories. Comfortable lounge, and nice to be able to use the courtyard garden. TV, Wifi, all working well. Bedrooms very comfortable, all spacious and great showers. The garage was also useful to store bikes or buggies. Off street parking for 1 car was ideal right outside the door. The only things which let the property down, was there was nothing by way of local info, guidebooks or attractions. No info about wifi code, even though we figured it out through Sky. Also, we requested a highchair (which we found in the garage) but also specifically went on Sykes LiveChat to request a travelcot and this was confirmed in the property. Even the description said to bring sheets. Luckily we also brought our own cot as there was nothing upon arrival which was disappointing. There could also be a few more family friendly things like baby gates on the stairs. Otherwise, a nice property.
