It was a fantastic property and amazing service. We received very good Information about the local area and recommendations for local attractions and restaurants. We received a complimentary port in our room before bed.
Had an great time here, very relaxing, and our host Ian was sensational, gave us a rundown and made us feel at home with plenty of suggestions and activities to do during our stay.
Beautiful property and so close to the beach you could ask for more 👌
Our stay at Glen Isla House was perfect. We received a warm welcome and were provided with local information which was very useful for planning trips around the island and finding out about where some of the best places to eat/drink were. The surrounding gardens were beautiful and the room was excellent with some lovely touches added to give it a luxury feel. For us the location was great because we walked along the beach to cafes for breakfast in the morning and liked the 15 minute stroll to the centre in the evening for dinner. We would most definitely recommend Glen Isla House to others and would go back again.
Nice accommodation. Glen Isla is beautiful, comfortable and we had such a good time that we are now looking to bring our family there as well. We are grateful for being able to stay and will definitely stay again.
Classy B&B-style accommodation set in beautiful gardens and close to the beach and Cowes restaurants.
Good for couples and also for groups needing multiple rooms and large shared lounge, garden etc. Well-appointed kitchen and welcome small touches such as a very drinkable port in the rooms. Highly recommended.
Great location, comfy accommodation. Very disappointed not able to enjoy breakfast in the dining room as it was closed for the ' busy holiday season'. Bit strange! Very welcoming host who knew all the local places and was very helpful.
Second time we have stayed here.
Ian and Madeleine are fabulous hosts, very informative.
Great luxury accommodation with all the essentials you need for your stay.
Beautiful gardens and only a short stroll to the lovely beach.
Glen Isla is situated in an ideal location to explore the island
