On arrival house hadn’t been cleaned. Despite property management saying it had , it hadn’t Cob webs everywhere dirty oven and pans .Poor kitchen utensils not fit for purpose ..
Shower has seen better days and certainly not been cleaned . Photos to prove.
Freezer needed defrosting/ replacing as it’s so old .
Annex hadn’t been cleaned either. You don’t expect to enter a holiday home at Christmas to start cleaning and purchasing kitchen essentials!
Linen was clean and beds were comfortable .
Although you would expect a hand towel to be provided for downstairs toilet and soap , so we purchased those as well.
This isn’t a budget holiday home and would have expected higher standards.

The cottage was lovely in a great location and very spacious.
The only thing it lacked was attention to detail. We didn’t realise tea towels weren’t provided and didn’t consider this before we arrived as towels were provided. The kitchen utensils could do with being replaced, knives were very blunt it was a struggle to chop vegetables etc.
Cleanliness was ok but the conservatory was infested with ants and hadn’t been cleaned at all, window sills very dirty. The weather wasn’t great when we were there so spent time in the conservatory which wasn’t very pleasurable.

Hill cottage was clean and tidy and well maintained. The garden would have benefited from some maintenance.
The house was in a good position for visiting lots of different destinations on the island. Although the immediate location of the house was not ideal, positioned on a corner plot between two roads you did experience a lot of road noise.

Very spacious and well located property.
The kitchen was large but poorly equipped and the fridge too small and in need of repair or replacement (broken shelves in the door making it hard to store milk etc.
The beds were comfy and spacious rooms but lacking in furniture. I.e. dressing tables, chairs.

Hill Cottage was lovely. Plenty of space. Large enclosed garden. Plenty of off road parking. Quiet .
Hill cottage is a lovely place to stay. Good location to reach all places on the Island.
Would have liked more mugs, plates and bowls etc as only enough per person and although there was a dishwasher there were only 4 dishwasher tablets. Also perhaps a few non breakable beakers etc for children .
Would definitely recommend and I have already booked next year.

In some ways good - but some changes are needed. for both safety and comfort reasons.
We had three days here with our five grandchildren and their parents and it suited my wife and I to have a separate annex.
The property was spotless and the agents helpful.
However, we found some easily rectified problems. The downstairs toilet in the main house had no working lock so every time someone used it someone else had to stand guard outside. One tap was also loose and wobbly. We reported this but it was not fixed although we left a key in the lock safe.
In the annex there was an odd problem in that the toilet roll holder had no central spindle- that's a first!
Our main problem was that the shower was unsafe for us to use, as there was no grab rail or bath mat. A mat was delivered at our request but the shower without a grab rail was still too dangerous for us.When we renovate properties we always install grab rails.(One of my jobs is supervising property maintenance on blocks of flats and houses etc}
The stairs were steep and we found the single stair rail inadequate, so went down also holding onto the spindles. A rail is needed on both sides and also on the steps down out into the conservatory,
My wife found our bed so uncomfortable that she slept downstairs on the sofa as when anyone moved slightly in the bed the other person was disturbed.. A poorly made bed.
In the main house there were some of the most uncomfortable dining room chairs ever devised, forcing you to sit bolt upright on very hard surfaces.They were possibly chosen for their designer look but most folk would vote for comfort..
The house needs a Sky dish as we found the TVs hard to operate and the DVD players also difficult although we did manage to play one DVD for the children.Another one ran without sound..
And finally, many of the framed pictures and paintings were delightful except a big one in the lounge featuring a nasty looking eye staring out at us. It looked like a nightmare in the wax museum -horror section

Lovely peaceful stay
In general the house was very clean and comfortable but the only let down was the conservatory which was infested by ants so we had to keep the doors shut which was a shame for my disabled mum who couldn't walk all the way to the back door to access the garden.
The village was very quiet and peaceful and borthwood copse was opposite which was great for walking the dog

Hill Cottage
This house was perfect for my requirements. I had staff working at the Isle of Wight festival and plenty of space and showers so no one had to rush to ready and out to work in the mornings.
Cottage was clean and tidy without being anything spectacular. It may not suit all but definitely catered for all my needs

A lovely Stay
Had a great time at Hill cottage. Location is quite central off isle Of Wight. Cottage offers pretty much everything. Thanks
