Solent View Apartment

We had a wonderful week staying at Solent View Apartment. We were met by Andor who was welcoming and gave us all the information we needed. It’s our second visit and we cannot wait to book again but it looks like October is the next time we could book, it’s very popular. The apartment has everything you could need and would recommend it for anyone looking to spend time in Cowes. It’s close to the shops. Some lovely walks along the beach.

Very well-appointed apartment, with good quality kitchen-ware, beds and other equipment. Extremely comfortable in all ways, and fantastic view! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The apartment was just as beautiful as in the photos and had everything you would need and more. Will definitely return. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Fabulous apartment. Spotlessly clean and very high standard of decor and facilities. Great view out of the windows. Just a short and very pleasant walk into Cowes where there are restaurants, shops Sainsburys and M&S food. Thank you. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Amazing apartment. Right from the moment we entered we felt at home. No expense spared on the furnishings and appliances. Can’t think of one thing we would change apart from a longer stay. Booked for a stay next year while we were there. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Fabulous.... Second visit and still the best. Travel to IOW 2-3 times a year and this is the best apartment we have stayed in. Only problem is so many good reviews we cannot get a booking ! Gabi is excellent and nothing would be too much trouble if we had needed anything. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

A great spot almost perfect as the balcony gets no direct sun Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Excellant

This is a lovely apartment with magnificient views and the owner has not stinted on providing top end equipment, entertainment, beds, linen etc which makes it very comfortable. Having a mirror that runs the width of the living room gives the appearance of it being much larger and increases the light in the room which is a really good idea. There is plenty of hanging space in the bedrooms and a chest of drawers in the master. The beds are very large and comfortable but the space around them is quite limited, so you might need to do a bit of a shuffle to get to the far side. The bathrooms are well equipped and there are plenty of power sockets in the bedrooms and around the apartment. There are plenty of saucepans but no ovenproof dishes or serving dishes to put something in from the saucepans. There are very large salad serving bowls but nothing smaller or ovenproof. The shelves in the kitchen cupboard are also quite high so a bit awkward for shorter people, so perhaps something like a small step would be a good addition. The housekeeping team were extremely helpful, and immediately came over with a new key fob when we let them know ours wasn't working. A welcome pack of something like milk, bread, etc would have been nice although a few tea bags, coffee sachets were provided. I am not sure if this is the letting agencies policy but we have always found this to be really helpful when we rent, especially if you have had a long day travelling, the last thing you want is to have to go and try and find a local supermarket. Regarding location, if walking into Cowes it is up and down some quite steep hills so may not be suitable for some visitors, if you want to walk to town for a meal. However once you find it, the car park is quite central. We had a lovely week here just before Christmas and would return again. This is a very nice apartment that just needs a few tweaks to make it perfect and I would recommend it.

Overall we enjoyed our stay & would return again. As our arrival & departure times were changed to allow deep cleaning due to Covid we didn’t expect to find cobwebs in the living area & discarded items behind a chest when looking for a lost phone. The overhead lights in the bedroom didn’t work & nor did the extractor fan in the main bathroom. These problems are reflected in my ratings. Having said all this it’s a large comfy apartment in a great position. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
