The Observation Apartment

8/10 Good

"Bright apartment with stunning views.Sweet place.Difficult access for those with mobility problems but 89 year old mum managed it. Very kind of all to leave treats to celebrate her birthday."

3 bedroom accommodation in Freshwater

8/10 Good

"The house was lovely, very clean throughout, just a few little niggles. There wasn't a welcome pack as such, so we did not have anything like emergency numbers, there wasn't some essentials like food waste bags. We didn't have any silver foil for cooking, to protect the likes of the grill. These are little things but also quite important. The cottage is beautiful, has a lovely mature garden, just have to watch that small pond. We didn't see any wildlife because the bird/squirrel feeders hadn't been kept up to date. I would recommend the home to anyone, so much around for all types of guests."

"Everything went well and we enjoy our stay at Brambles Farm. The accommodation is very cosy and we enjoy the lovely sea view from our living room. Glad to be here."
