Scores taken from guest reviews left on Airbnb across eight years of continuous hosting. The house has served as dedicated crew accommodation for over a decade.
The house sits behind the High Street in the middle of West Cowes. Distances below are measured from the front door.
Cowes is remarkably well stocked for crews: a whole host of kitchens, bistros and harbourside taverns take group bookings, all within a few minutes' wander of the front door. Book ahead during regatta weeks — the town fills up fast.
There is no parking at the property. Two options are available: a visitor permit arranged by the host in advance at £2 per day for on-street bays in Zone C2 around the house, or a tourist permit booked by the guest at approximately £15.10 for two days, which covers most car parks on the Island including the car park by the house. Current rates are published on the Isle of Wight Council website.
Bookings are made directly rather than through this site. Get in touch with your crew size and dates; check-in is from 15:00 to 18:00 and checkout is by 10:00, extendable by prior arrangement.
