A wonderful 2 week stay

The property and the Hosts were excellent. The accomodation was spacious and very private ,everything we needed was provided. The view from the balcony and conservatory was lovely and the spa pool was an added bonus and excellent way to relax.There was a lot of useful information about the island on hand and the Hosts were happy to help if we had any questions. Would highly recommend booking Fionavon to anyone looking to visit IOW.

Lovely place, great location - That view !!

We were made very welcome by Rob & Sue, everything was absolutely perfect. Such a lovely place, the views are spectacular, the hot tub is a great bonus, would be even better in long summer evenings. It’s definitely on our list to visit again in the future.

A beautiful property

The property is well situated for easy access to all areas of the island and not too far from the ferries. The property itself is beautiful, a real home from home with everything you could need and probably more. The sitting room, balcony, kitchen and conservatory have wonderful views over the hills behind - and that is well worth the drive out to, where you can see views of the island and mainland. As an added extra there is a hot tub which we enjoyed on several occasions during our visit. We felt very relaxed in the property and had a lovely time.

Wonderful whimsical stay on the Isle of Wight

We were so impressed with the property, so clean and comfortable and a real little haven of tranquility. The garden and conservatory was like divine perfect for yoga and games, especially on wet days, captured what sun there was perfectly. Similarly the balcony was another suncatch with a breathtaking view. Rob and Sue were respectful and accomodating hosts, nothing was too much trouble, even offering to tumble dry our wet things before we departed. We loved every moment and will definitely return again at some point in the future. Suzy, Dave, Josh and Ayla

Not to be recommended

Beware the Landlady’s wrath if you fail to obey the house rules. Our “crime”? Allowing a visiting dog across the threshold. My husband had called into the property on his morning run to assist our son to pack up and leave at the end of their stay. Unfortunately, he was running with the dog. Within minutes of his arrival there was loud banging on the door. The Landlady was extremely angry that we had transgressed the “no pets” rule. Husband and dog left immediately with profuse apologies which were not accepted. The landlady’s vituperations continued with much haranguing of our son causing considerable upset as he tried to complete their packing. This spoiled an otherwise lovely week of family celebration. The property is situated between a busy main road and the railway line. There’s a parking space which requires precision reversing in from the main road while a queue of traffic builds up behind. The 2 bedrooms are somewhat affected by traffic noise, although from the back of the property there are splendid views of the river Yar and Gander and Bembridge Downs. There is a hot tub although this is better described as a “tepid” tub. A note on the wall says that the water temperature can be increased upon request. However, it is unclear what such a request might provoke given the Landlady’s short fuse. Self-catering holidays such as those offered by Vrbo are no longer a cheap option especially in high season on the Isle of Wight. There is much competition from other accommodation providers. Our experience at 1778496 means that in future we consider alternatives options. We recommend that others do the same.

Foinavan.

Excellent location for visiting most of the highlights of the Island. It was an amazingly well equipped apartment with almost anything you could possibly need. Was very impressed when the oven had a fault on the Sunday and it was replaced with a new one before we returned the following afternoon. Overall would thoroughly recommend..

Very pleasant stay, all amenities catered for. Friendly hosts, would stay again.

From the onset we had a very friendly welcome from Sue and Rob. They showed us around the property showing us all the facilities in full, we settled in very quickly. This is a very private residence with enjoyable views to the east for the sunrise, with plenty of places to comfortably sit to enjoy the view. Sue and Rob were nearby should we have needed them , but did not interfere or bother us during our stay. Because we found everything we needed we didn’t need to contact them. When we came to leave they gave us a good send off. It is not boutique accommodation but is a very comfortable place to stay having all things you would have back at home. Beds were clean and comfortable with adequate storage space, and the large jacuzzi sunroom was an added bonus which we enjoyed. We would happily stay here again as it’s ideally located for the local attractions.

Lovely place

Very clean. Really well equipped, even books and games, plus a minocular to bird watch! Stunning view. Comfy beds. Close to bus stops and short walk to station. Garden with lots of seating. Hot tub a bonus. Friendly helpful hosts. Quite a lot of stairs, so maybe not so good for older people or small children. Overall a great place for a holiday.

Very well set up with anything needed for self catering. The jacuzzi is great fun and very romantic for a couple. Very very private. Location is not bad for touring the island. Parking is a pain and and I am not sure how it would work for a family with younger children .

Fantastic property in a great location

My husband, our 19 year-old daughter and I stayed at this property for a week in July 2021. It was easy to get to from the port and we received a wonderful welcome from Rob and Sue, who showed us round the property. The property has absolutely everything you could need. We wanted for nothing. Rob and Sue had thought of everything. We went out everyday to explore the island, as there is so much to see and do, but when we were back at the house we relaxed, played games, went in the spa... The view from the conservatory is wonderful. I would recommend this property wholeheartedly.

We loved staying here. Everything was just about perfect from the hot tub to the views. Just sitting out on the balcony having breakfast was a great way to start our day. There is everything you need, it was a home from home. The parking is very tight and the property is situated on a busy main road with poor visibility so I'd advise someone to guide you in and out at peak times. Also we wanted to spend most of our nights in after full days of activities the TV channels are pretty basic so I'd recommend you take dvds you can sign into netflex too. Overall loved staying here the owners are on hand if you need them but are totally unobtrusive. Brading is central to Sandown and Ryde. There's a great bus service. Totally recommend here for a holiday.

Great little holiday home!

We really enjoyed our stay in Foinavon... Perfect little place for a family of four! Clean and tidy and equipped with everything we needed - even beach toys and garden games... The owners are very friendly and happy to pass on their local knowledge. The views out the back are really quite stunning and the hot tub is a welcome treat after a day exploring the island. Would gladly stay here again.
