About this house rental
Insignia is a well-presented and well-equipped 3 storey townhouse sleeping 6 people ( 2extra on a sofa bed) and located right in the hub of the sailing Mecca of Cowes. Cowes is well-known for being the biggest and oldest sailing regatta in the world and is a fashionable destination for sailors and yachting enthusiasts during the summer months. Popular also throughout the year for holidaying visitors because of the bustling town precinct, attractive promenade and numerous high-quality eateries and bars; in fact, whatever your taste in food and drink you will not have any problem discovering a gastronomic or liquid delight in Cowes. From perfect pizza, tempting tapas, blockbusting burgers and the finest dining to the simplest of sandwiches, (not to mention the cocktail and wine bars, ale houses, rooftop bars and classic fire-side pubs) Cowes will not disappoint. Insignia is located parallel to the High Street, just a 3-minute walk from the foot passenger hi-speed boat service from Southampton and has recently been refurnished and refurbished throughout. Equipped with 3 bedrooms comprising of 2 super-king zip and links and a king-size zip and link bedroom; meaning all three rooms can be made up as twins if required. A stunning open plan living space welcomes you as you enter, with the modern kitchen expanding into an extended dining room with large skylight window. Bi-fold doors open onto a cosy walled courtyard to enhance your evening entertaining. The front living room is charming and has a wood burner, custom built bookcases (full of holiday reads to settle into) and a comfy sofa for relaxing nights in - This has is able to be turned into a sofa bed if you require more space for relaxing, although being positioned in the heart of a lively marina town

Clean, well equipped kitchen although a little lacking in work space when cooking. Beds were comfortable and sitting room was cosy. Dogs loved it and very well situated for all amenities. Only issue was parking - when we booked the listing says there was parking but on arrival we found the parking was no longer available. Also can I suggest you move the sofa next to the dining table as we couldn't use the dining table properly ( there were six of us!) as we were unable to pull it out or move the sofa anywhere.

After arriving at the property - we had a little trouble - we locked ourselves out! We phoned the help line and very promptly it was all taken care of. Was very impressed with how efficient Island Holiday Homes are and the housekeeper was lovely. The home was beautiful and had been modernised nicely. The beds were huge and very comfortable. The only thing that we struggled with was sharing one bathroom with 5 people but I missed that when reading the listing. There were a couple of bits that needed updating like the kitchenware - pots and pans mainly- but overall everything was very functional. The area is great with everything you could need in Cowes. Three amazing coffee shops and lots of different food places. Lots of quaint shops to buy gifts. It was a great stay and would definitely suggest to family and friends.

Insignia is a great place to stay, it gives you a great base from which to explore the island and is ideally situated for the shops, bars & restaurants in Cowes town.
The property is well maintained and is very clean. The bathroom is a real treat with a lovely walk in shower and a big bath. The bedrooms are all fine and we found the bed to be very comfortable.
The stairs are a bit tight, as was the parking spot but we quickly got used to them both and they didn’t cause us any issues. Cows is a great place and all the pubs and restaurants were very welcoming, I would particularly recommend the Coast Restaurant.

Lovely newly refurbished house. Having stayed in Cowes before this is by far the best location for amenities.
