8 Munday Cottages

Unfortunately there were ants everywhere, bathroom, hall, kitchen sides and dining table.

Other than that very quiet and spacious

We were not aware that the property has been up for sale for some time - maybe that accounts for the condition of some of the furnishings.

The radiators in particular were pitted, the kitchen appliances needed cleaning, the light above the cooker did not work, the light over the sink worked only intermittently, the shower needs recitification as it was difficult to use - the head did not stay in place for the duration of a 4 minute shower and water temp. was variable. (the shower had been mentioned in visitors book). The site felt eerie as there were only about a dozen or so occupied out of a possible 150 or so. No facilities on site were available. The exit to the site looked like a builders yard with metal fencing around and rubble.

The cottage was attractively furnished, and well equipped.

The site was quiet, though it was out of school holidays. The hot water and heating worked, though the heating thermostat didn't seem to (heating was on or off). Overall we had a lovely week. One of our party is a wheelchair user. We have the following comments on this accessible cottage: good points are a disabled parking space outside and step-free access to the door, level access to the shower and a grab bar. Maybe a drop-down shower seat would help. We brought our own shower stool. The toilets would benefit from either drop-down or fixed rails to aid standing. The shoe cupboard in the corridor takes a lot of room, making getting in or out of the main bedroom very difficult in a manual wheelchair; similarly with the twin room and the table and chairs. Access would be fine with a walking frame. Maybe the cottage description could say there is limited room for a wheelchair. We left a charger behind, and were shocked to see there's a £30 charge to post items, so will buy a new one.

Property was very spacious,light and airy kitchen well stocked,beds very comfortable owner very helpful.

A good base to go exploring, buses were a great way of getting around, avoiding car parking charges. I would recommend to friends and family.

We arrived to find we had no hot water or heating.

When I rang the owner she nonchalantly told me the boiler wasn't working, a plumber had been out the day before (Sunday) and a part was ordered, to arrive Tues/Wed. By Thurs AM, after little communication, I rang Sykes who gave the owner until 3pm to resolve the situation. The boiler was fixed shortly before 3. That, along with unhealthy looking pans, kettle, (photos sent to Sykes) shower cubicle in need of a good scrub/regrout and an uncomfortable old sofa, certainly put a dampener on our week. Then I came home to see the previous occupant had also had problems with the heating throughout his stay, with no hot water the last couple of days. Booking.com has a review from July, detailing similar problems. A one time offer of £109 compensation was offered by the owner which doesn't cover the 3 nights with no boiler. I have not yet received a response from Sykes as to how she came to this amount. There are other properties at this site which I am told are in excellent condition, and only a 20 minute walk from the quaint seaside village of Yarmouth which is worth a visit.

Unfortunately the water temperature kept going from hot to cold making the shower a risky experience.

On the second last day there was no hot water at all. The owner arranged for a heating engineer to call but be could not repair the boiler so we had to boil a kettle every time we needed to wash etc.

Overall we had a lovely stay here.

The cottage was clean, beds comfy and all the extras you would need like hand wash, toilet paper, dish cloth, washing up liquid etc. There were also fans provided for each bedroom which was a bonus in the heat. We stayed as a family of four with a 9 year old and 2 year old and one of the main reasons we booked Munday Cottage was because it was advertised that there was a play area located on the site which the cottage was on- West Bay holiday park. However on exploring the site on arrival we were met with a building site in place of the playground and an additional parking area where the tennis courts were advertised through the photos on Sykes website. When I contacted the owner they said that they had told Sykes to remove this inaccurate information but even while we were there these two features were still being advertised on their page. It really was disappointing and my son was disappointed too. The site itself too didn't have many people staying on it. I would say if you are a family with young children this probably isn't the place for you but as a couple or family with older children then it's a lovely quiet corner of the west of the island from which to explore.

Lovely property the pictures don’t do it justice.

Really clean, comfortable and attractive. Set in beautiful grounds very peaceful. We have friends who live nearby so will book again.

Very nicely presented.

Clean and provided us with everything we required for our stay.

The cottage was clean, spacious and contained everything we needed for a lovely stay.

It was very beautifully decorated throughout and the walk-in shower was easy to use. It was wonderful to have table and chairs outside so we could sit in the sunshine. 8, Munday cottages was a good location for exploring the Island. One thing that would help would be instructions on how to use the cooker. Other than that it was a great place to be!

Excellent accommodation and perfect location.

Great holiday home very clean and a great place to relax

Very clean comfortable accommodation lovely clean and quiet site, great comfy beds we will definitely book again to stay here when visiting the IOW.

A great base .

The bungalow was well equipped and comfortable with large, airy rooms.

We liked the safe and well kept site and the children made use of the play area. The location was brilliant for the Lymington ferry crossing too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

We had a lovely stay at 8 Monday cottage,it was very clean ,all essentials stocked We would definitely stop again ,as we have family in the area it was a good base for the ferry and to catch up.

We have already passed on the details to interested family members.

What a great property, clean well kept and all the things you need in the property including a great shower.

Situation also very good with nice outside seating area. In summary would highly recommend

A great base to explore the island.

The property was very clean and comfortable

5 nights spent in this lovely property, very clean , tidy , and well equipped , very peaceful area .

The only thing I would say for my disabled father is if you are unable to stand from wheelchair in the shower room with WC has no rail by toilet . Which my father had real problems with transferring of and on to toilet . I understand that the walls would not support a rail . A floor based bar would be perfect . Just a suggestion as this property is listed as mobility friendly. Other than that beautiful place Pat Matthews x

Very comfortable accommodation, quiet location, ample parking, and close to the particularly attractive part of the IOW between the Needles and Ventnor.

Thank you.

This owner did all she could to accommodate my disabled husband. By providing a shower stool and kitchen stool. A lovely clean, spacious bungalow. If we have anything to add it's that lounge beds would have made our stay perfect

High standards have been set in this property, to which most people can only aspire.

Superbly fitted, with the site in general extremely well looked after. Would highly recommend.
