Isle of Wight holiday cottage welcome in these difficult times
We have been working hard to ensure our Isle of Wight holiday cottages are “COVID-19” secure and have taken extra steps as recommended by The Professional Association of Self-Caterers. In advance of your arrival we will have thoroughly cleaned and disinfected the cottage. Our welcome hamper will contain sealed local Island produce (contents differ per cottage). Hand sanitiser will be provided.
We will not greet you in person but we are here if you have any problems or need help during your stay. We live on the Island so do not hesitate to contact ourselves or our housekeepers – contact details in your welcome pack. We continue to wear face masks and aim to keep a social distance of 2m if we need to visit you.
Remember it’s safer to meet family and friends outdoors!
