Staffs English is not good and doesn’t have knowledge of the local area.
Cabin is nice and clean. Close to Main Street in Cowes. Ok to stay for a few days

I found the bed to be extremely uncomfortable. I’ve slept on foldout beds that were nicer. There was a sheet, a quilt with no cover, and what felt like a table cloth on top of that. The blanket provided looked really old. I’m glad I brought my own blanket as what was provided wasn’t very good.
The shower was quite small. I’m 165cm and had to lean down a bit to wash my hair as the shower head was quite low. If you were taller than that or a larger bodied person, it may be a bit difficult.
The cleanliness was average. It wasn’t dirty but needs to be cleaned a bit more thoroughly. The kitchen had a bit of an ant problem.
There were a few little things too that just make me feel like the place isn’t well maintained. The table was wobbly and I was worried the leg would break. One of the flush buttons on the toilet kept falling off. The clock was broken and wouldn’t keep correct time.
Overall it was just an ok stay. I guess it’s fine for budget accommodation. It’s in a great location and just a short walk to the main street and beach. I wouldn’t stay here again though. I’d rather spend a bit more and stay somewhere
I didn’t use any of the facilities such as bbq, pool, games room, etc… so can’t comment on what they were like.
My daughter & I stayed at Amaroo for a few days away. Fabulously situated to all the local attractions. Pleasantly clean & tidy. All staff interactions were great. Would defo recommend 5 ⭐️
We only stayed one night. There was a bag of lemons, box of crackers and a container of eaten crisps left in the kitchen cupboard. Oven was dirty on the bottom too, food scraps. I couldnt get our glass door to lock unfortunately.
However the room was clean and tidy otherwise. Loved the fact we could watch a movie on netflix before bed so that was a good bonus.
The Only Problem that myself and my partner had with the Deluxe Queen Package we had booked was that the shower in the room was very small.
We would have preferred a tv in the bedroom rather than just one being above the fridge in the kitchen. The only other genuine problem faced was that there was an English barrier with management & communication. Otherwise the facilities met our needs and expectations and was otherwise a very enjoyable stay and look to be staying in the future.
