Thank you! Everything about our stay was amazing. The kitchen has all the equipment you need. The kids had fun in the playroom with all kinds of board games, my grandson with Xbox and table tennis and everyone with a Harry Potter room. They were all super happy. The adults admired the amazing garden with sea view, the garden is like in a fairy tale, congratulations. Thank you again for our great stay! We will be happy to visit you again and will certainly recommend you to friends.

Amazing house and garden perfect for friends and family
We loved this house! It was just perfect for 3 families with children to have a short break. The children loved the amazing garden with all its nooks and hiding places. The dorm and playroom were also ideal for them. What an adventure they had! The kitchen was well equipped and the house had everything we needed. The location was also great with just a short walk to the beach. We would definitely come again!

Top Time at Tall Trees
Wonderful well equipped spacious property. Shared Tall Trees with my sister and her family. Ample space and so much to entertain the kids, they loved the bunk bed room and Harry Potter cupboard. Garden was magical with beautiful views and hidden terraces surrounded by budding plants. Location was fantastic with a short walk to steephill cove and close to Ventnor for everything one needs. We love the Isle of Wight and have been coming for many many years. So pleased to find this home which can accommodate both our families In thei part of the island.

A delightful stay
It is a very well appointed house. Has just about everything you need. It was clean, comfortable and had a fantastic garden. Sitting on the patio you feel as if you are in the tropics. The access driveway is very steep. Okay for medium size cars but difficult for very large vehicles. Would recommend this for families - Harry Potter room delightful. Three of our group were in their eighties, and we loved it.

Brilliant Holiday
The house was everything we wished for: it was clean, very well equipped, comfortable and provided plenty of space for three adults and four teenagers and children. Set in a quiet location with a lovely if steepish garden. There is easy access to Ventnor and Steephill Cove, the latter providing a very nice Beach Shack that serves good meals and drinks. The coastal paths immediately opposite the house have wonderful sea views and the Botanic Gardens are just a short walk up the road.

Wonderful spacious property
Tall Timbers is a wonderful holiday property, both inside and out. There's lots of bedroom options, a good numbers of bathrooms, and big livingroom. Plenty of dining options. The garden is impressive (if you don't mind hills/steps), with multiple terraces and sea views from the upper levels. Location-wise it's a short walk to Steephill Cove, and Ventnor is also within walking distance either by road or coastal paths. We were fortunate to have great weather, but the property has plenty of options for wet weather, with books, board games, dvds, games consoles, table football, Netflix and a table tennis table in the car port. We were very impressed and would rate the property one of the highlights of our visit to the Isle of Wight.
