West Sea View No 4

Yes when leaving and taking bedding off there was a big stain on the bed did say to my husband the bed didn't smell to good then first night.

And the pillows had a sweaty smell aswell.

Owned by a very lovely, helpful guy who is excellent at what he does and customer service.

Accommodations brilliant, clean and everything in the place you need. Excellent, quiet location, really enjoyed our long weekend away. Only thing was the mattress could do with being thicker as could feel the wooden slats underneath. Hope to return again soon

We had a lovely week staying in West Sea View No 4, helped by the wonderful weather on the island.

Great location being in walking distance of the nearest town Yarmouth and half an hour from the ferry port. Most things we wanted to do and see were a comfortable distance to drive. The property was generally good. Hope to return to the Isle Of Wight at a future point.

We really enjoyed our stay at Seaview 4, Had lovely neighbours and pub staff where very friendly and helpful.

Views where very nice, watching the boats go by. Just needs a mosquito trap as got bitten alot while in bed. Bed where very comfortable though.

Simple accommodation yet everything we needed for a great stay.

Location couldn’t really be better. I’m sure we’ll be returning.

A hairdryer in the property would be a very welcome addition otherwise all was lovely

Would have liked some comfortable chairs at the end of the day.

There was only a 2 seat sofa,there was 3 of us ,so we took turns to sit on it. Other than that it was fine.

We had a lovely stay again and have already booked for next year.

We were a little disappointed with the cleanliness as there were dog hairs and a half eaten dog chew in centre of the settee. We also feel the need for a freezer compartment in the fridge as have to keep getting ice from other people or the cafe. We have mentioned this before. Other than these points we enjoyed our stay.

John was very helpful and supplied a hairdryer, ironing board and deck chairs when requested.

Great location for dog owners. Lovely walks on the beach and in the country park on your doorstep. Quiet and relaxing with the cafe nearby. Also walking distance to Yarmouth with many lovely places to see and eat such as King Henry's castle and Salties. Minor detail - Could have done without cover on sofa as it kept coming off. A great place to relax and explore.

Fabulous location, Great apartments, Stone throws to Beach which is great.

. Dog loved it there , we loved it there.. Owner more than helpful and friendly.. Cleaning ladies really nice too. Cafe next door and staff fab.. Would highly recommend,. Personally would prefer a sofa which i am able to lie down on to rest. So for me the only downfall was uncomfortable sofa. Decking was great to sit out on and watch the sea, we actually saw a seal swim by! adding to the delight of our stay. Was pleasantly surprised could not hear others through walls. Would definitely stay there again for the peace and tranquility.

Great property & location.

Already booked for next year.

Bathroom tiling was uneven which meant it was not clean -shower was more like a hose.

The picture shown when booking insulated the accommodation faced the sea -this was not the case -which was disappointing. Also at no point in the literature did it state you couldn’t swim in this area. The kitchen facilities were very basic -to the point that we are were unable to cook means . Parking was not allocated -needs to be allocated per rental . Bed mattresses was cheap and uncomfortable . Overall the accommodation has been converted with minimum thought given to those who are staying -such a shame .

Throughly enjoyed staying at number 4.

It was clean and comfortable. The big plus was how close it was to the sea. Hoping to go again in the future. However I would probably stay at number 1 or 3.

We love coming to stay at No.

4 It's such a great location, near to Yarmouth and all our other favourite places. The only downside was we all got quite badly bitten by mosquitos so something to remedy this would be good - otherwise, next time we will bring our own mosquito nets. See you soon!

Great property & location.

Needs a freezer compartment in the fridge as can't make any ice or re freeze freezer blocks etc.

Excellent holiday let.

Convient for all local amminities. Clean, basic and reasonably comfortable. The pictures of the property exterior did not reflect which unit we were getting and caused confusion on arrival. I would suggest that you should amend this.

This charming little converted boathouse proved to be perfect for me and my Labrador, who swam enthusiastically in the sea literally metres from the cottage.

It is beautifully decorated and equipped and the bathroom in particular is better and more convenient than many in much larger self-catering places where I have stayed. Although the mezzanine bedroom sleeps three, the cottage would be a bit of a squeeze for more than a couple. The only disappointment was that the adjacent café wasn’t open during my stay.

Sorry to say the place is in need of a total refurbishment especially bed mattress and pillows smell.

shower floor disgusting permanently standing water fridge inadequate the owner is a nice man but needs to step up.

Cottage was tired and needs updating however its Cosy warm and quiet in a good location

Would be nice if the fridge had an ice compartment.

Apart from that the apartment is comfortable and in a great location. Owner John is friendly, helpful and easily contactable.

Very small and details were not right as it showed window in the bedroom not no 4 this was for number 5.

Tv very small no washing machine, sofa very low and only 2 seater with one wicker chair very uncomfortable next door had 2 comfy chairs and sofa bathroom floor stayed wet for along time and tiles uneven and could do with replacing, fridge could do with having a freezer box in, mattress needs a clean as when patted dust came flying off.

Midway through our holiday the electric cooker packed up.

Bad news ? Well Yes. BUT We sent an late evening message To the property owner, who phoned us the following morning and by lunchtime the following day he had purchased and installed a new cooker. Excellent customer service. Just one biggish jiggle. The fridge has no freezer section. 2 very minor niggles. No corkscrew or cheese grater. Good holiday, good cottage and good weather. Thank you

The shower could be improved, ie (needs more pressure, ) water flow very low.

Could do with a better fridge (ice compartment would be nice. )

The location is lovely nice and quite.

The accommodation could do with just a few updates Really needs a fridge freezer so many guest have request this in the visitors book and a better shower and the best thing would be provide a patio table and chairs to sit on as nothing there. I went and brought a chair which was no hardship but for the price I paid for the holiday I feel it should be provided. I would go again as it’s a beautiful location but it would be stunning if the update where addressed.

A fridge with a freezer dept or freezer would be a good idea as nowhere to put frozen items such as ice cream etc.

Loved the chalet right on the beach.

Was so very clean and tidy was equipped with everything to make our stay comfortable. Have already told our Family and friends.

Fantastic location.

The sofa has been removed and 2 uncomfortable hard winged chairs are in place.

This is not what we signed up to on the website. We picked up on this reading reviews of disappointment from others who raised this issue and a poor fridge with no ice box or salad box. We tried to resolve this issue and told Sykes several times that the photo and reference to the comfortable sofa were misleading. The sofa is still on the website we recommend readers of this review book an alternative apartment as the location is excellent. The owner is a very nice person as well.

Fantastic have already booked for next year

This being the second holiday spent at the Boat house appartments, we were confident that owing to covid 19, an all out effort woudl be made in sanitization / clenleness , our complements to the cleaners as the appartment was spotless, the appartment is fully equipted with every thing needed for a self catering holiday, all bed linen suplied was spotlesly clean, beds were confortable.

The only complaint was on are previous visit and the photos in the current brochures show a soffa in the lounge area, but has now been replaced with two upright hard arm chairs, imposible to relaxe in the evening whilst watching tv, disapointing as the other appartments had confortable soffa's. otherwise an exalent self cattering appartment, set in an ideal beach side position with good parking space.

We had a wonderful relaxing holiday, the location; right adjacent to a shingle beach and a dense woods, was dramatic and atmospheric and perfect for dog walking and the autumnal weather (very high winds, rain, fog and sea mist) just added to the experience.

The accommodation was perfectly adequate, comfortable, clean and tidy, in fact the apartment was well insulated inspite of the inclement weather so we didn't need the heating on for much of the time at all. We will definitely book a Sykes holiday again.

The location was great, the cafe was also great, sea view 4 was well equipped and clean, but no sofa, two high winged chairs that was not that comfortable, online pics it shows a sofa, also the fridge needs replacing, no ice box or salad crisper, I don’t think it even chilled our food properly, we like to take picnics with us but couldn’t freeze our ice packs, the television could have been bigger, bathroom needs a bath mat and towel rail, it was a nice week with the weather and plenty of places to visit but wished we had a sofa to relax after a long day.

The property was adequate in a lovely location, the only problem we had was the toilet being downstairs from the bedroom, during the night if you needed the toilet you had to put the lights on to see your way down the stairs.

The arrangements were organised very well and we met Mr Brady at the allotted time.

The cottage was comfortable for the two of us, it would have suited a couple and a child, but I think four people would have struggled. We did not cook during our stay, but the kitchen equipment seemed to be satisfactory, although it would be very useful to have a small freezer, even just for making ice within the fridge. A bit more shelving space in the bathroom and a larger shower head would also be useful. But the very hot water was ideal. We used the cafe next door for coffee/tea/Sunday lunch - a roast carvery and for a breakfast. All very good. The walk into Yarmouth is not far, which again is a bonus. There is a small stretch of beach that is slightly difficult to walk on due to the stones and if walking at night, you do need a torch. All in all we had a very enjoyable week and this was an ideal quiet base to get out and about to see the Island.

The apartment/cottage was compact but had everything needed for comfort.

The location was fabulous, being directly onto the beach and a 'do-able' walk into Yarmouth.

It was a lovely place to stay and the location was perfect.

The only thing we would have found useful is a small freezer (for ice) and a sofa rather than the two chairs.

Just perfect

What a location!

and we had amazing weather - just perfect thank you

Unaware of taking our own towels however after informing Mr Brady he did in fact bring us some towels .

great location with nice walks and great food close by.

Only used the car a couple of times which made a great change. plenty to do and see.

The location of the apartment was brilliant for exploring the many attractions of the island, the boathouse was very cosy and a lovely little home from home, the boathouse had every mod con and even had a welcome tea/coffee pack so we could have a well earned cuppa on arrival, the boathouse is directly in front of the sea with a shingle beach and private parking.

Overall a thoroughly enjoyed holiday. We will definitely be booking again!!

The apartment was good for us.

We wanted a quiet place to recharge our batteries after three years of stress. It was a comfortable base and the sound of the sea on the beach at night and when we woke up made it a tranquil and peaceful place to stay. We had everything we needed and when we did have a problem the owner dealt with it immediately and was very understanding and friendly. Although we didn't bring dogs with us we loved the fact that dogs were made so welcome across the Island and in the Boathouse apartments. For a small island there is so much to see and do. This is our fourth stay on the island but the first time without our children, what a revelation there is so much for grown ups too! We will be coming back soon.

Perfect location, right on the beach
