Christmas stay

We stayed here over Christmas and it was perfect. Our dog loved the enclosed garden. The kitchen has everything to cook a festive dinner in. We had the log burner on for the day which was great. Would definitely stay again.

Large spacious property large enough for 6 adults, a baby and 3 dogs

Large spacious property large enough for 6 adults, a baby and 3 dogs. Modern kitchen well stocked with cutlery, plates etc and cooking utensils. Very large garden (one of the reasons we choose Dassia due to three dogs). Property is in a good location for travelling in any direction on the Isle of Wight, with good links to Island road network. Towels etc provided were good quality. Second toilet separate to bathroom. Shower facilities more that adequate (Lovely waterfall effect with good eater pressure). Parking for 3 cars with room for another if needs be. Lovely neighbors giving some suggestions on where to go. Bridle path opposite the property gave easy access to local walking around Parkhurst Forest. IGNORE the name 'Pigsty Farm' opposite the property - this is NOT a Pig Farm as initial assumptions might bring.
