House catered well for all ages.We found there were no spare toilet rolls in some of the bathrooms and we had to buy a packet to cover the shortage. Also a pair of men’s undies was found under a bed when it was moved slightly to put bottom sheet on. A child’s sock was also found wedged down the side of a mattress

We enjoyed our stay. We had a group of 15 extended family and it worked well - esp having bathrooms for each bedroom! The kitchen was well equipped and the billiard table and table tennis table were great.

We had a great stay at Cowes Family Retreat, the property was perfect for our group of 5 families. Each bedroom was very generous in size as well as convenient with their own ensuite. There were many different communal areas for everyone also. Just a short walk to the beach and not far from the main shops. The property had everything we needed!

Great house for our family group to celebrate my mums 90th birthday. Kids loved the outdoor spa and pool table and the short walk to have a swim and a coffee. We will be back.
