Thompson's Retreat in Cowes

About the home

“Thompson's Retreat” is a delightful double-storey townhouse in central Cowes just a short walk from the beach and only a stone's throw from all the supermarkets, restaurants & cafés of Cowes. Some of the many features of this lovely home are detailed below:

Indoor Areas

Downstairs, the large open plan Kitchen/Dining/Living Room (with tv, fire tv stick & bluetooth speaker) provides access out to the rear courtyard. The laundry (with washing machine & dryer) and a powder room are also on this level as well as the double garage. Upstairs are Bedrooms 1 and 2 (with built in robes), Bedroom 3, the bathroom (with bath & shower), a separate toilet and a covered balcony.

Outdoor Areas

The fully enclosed rear courtyard provides a quiet space to enjoy the outside and has table & chairs for 6 people and a gas bbq, plus there is an upstairs covered balcony (accessible from Bedrooms 2 & 3). The double garage provides parking space for 2 cars.

Kitchen

The fully appointed kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, microwave, toaster, kettle, etc. plus a double sink, fridge, dishwasher, electric oven and gas cook top.

Heating/Cooling Systems

There are three wall mounted reverse cycle airconditioners; one in the downstairs Living/Kitchen/Dining room and one each in Bedrooms 1 & 2. There is also one stand-alone heater and one stand-alone fan which can be used where required.

Linen

It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra. By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases). What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for. The additional cost would be a one-off charge of $30 per bed (some sites add a service fee to these costs) - and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.

Great stay

Thanks for lovely, quiet property. Garage door was a bit temperamental. Great to have air-conditioning in bedrooms as well as downstairs.
