Galatea

We had a fantastic. ..it truly is home from home, ideal for families, with plenty of toys and outdoor entertainment for children. A very comfortable place to stay, with lots of rooms to spread out in and a lovely garden to enjoy too. The property is round the corner from the Coop and post office, and a 10min walk to a bakery, Boots, and farm shop, not to mention the beach and RNLI station. We had a very relaxing time here, and would have loved to have stayed longer!

Galatea is beautiful. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean everywhere. This home is perfect for everyone of all ages, with the downstairs bedroom and bathroom ideal for older or disabled people. The decor is done tastefully. The back garden is lovely and private with loungers tables and chairs. There are shops close by, lovely cafes too. Bembridge is a perfect place to stay and people are so friendly. This property is the best we have stayed in and will be back for sure.

The property was clean, well equipped and comfortable. The extras and facilities for the children were excellent.

Absolutely loved this property, it was comfy, clean, and had everything you needed. So much space that you weren't on top of each other. There is a few maintenance things that need sorting and updating. It's 5 minutes from the beach and 1 minute from the local shop that sells almost everything. Overall, we will definitely try and book again. Wonderful place.

Fantastic place to stay, only one small problem, the satalite tv reception is ... Fantastic place to stay, only one small problem, the satalite tv reception is not very good when the weather is bad raining the dis needs moving as it is looking directly at the car port and surrounding vegitation

A beautiful house that was a real home from home. Layout work well and we really enjoyed our stay. Easy to reach the beach and the village centre. Our only negative was the hot tub which is not chemically treated so needs to be emptied and refilled during your stay. We werent aware of this when booking. It had also not been properly cleaned prior to our stay.

The property was comfortable, in a good location, near shops and the beach, and had a parking space. The house had a good sized garden. The kitchen was spacious and we had some welcome goodies including a pint of milk plus tea and coffee so we did not have to shop as soon as we arrived. The full length glass doors on the ground floor meant the downstairs bedroom lacked privacy and there was no ventilator fan in the downstairs bathroom causing me to reduce the comfort score.

Very comfortable property with plenty of room for everyone. Well furnished throughout and everything that was needed in the kitchen was supplied.

Beautiful holiday home, tastefully presented and immaculately clean. Galatea has all and more you could wish for a wonderful family holiday. Ideally situated with easy access to beaches and all the isle of Wight has to offer. The house is perfect for multi generation family groups being very spacious and with a large child friendly garden. One of the best holiday homes we have stayed in.

Galatea is a wonderful holiday home, a beautiful cottage and garden in a very quiet road, perfect for a family holiday. The grandchildren loved the hot tub. There were buckets, spades, fishing nets, lots of toys for younger children, plenty of dvds for rainy days. Shop two minutes walk away, beach and pubrestaurant within walking distance. We loved our stay there.

We had such a lovely time at Galatea! The cottage is great super spacious, comfortable and very clean, with a beautiful garden if like us you are lucky enough to have the weather on your side. The hot tub is perfect for an evening dip once the kids are in bed although being woodfired you need to ensure you prepare it well in advance! The location is excellent Bembridge is a gorgeous village and very well placed to explore the island's extensive coastline. Finally I would like to say a big thank you to Kathee who was extremely helpful, friendly and communicative throughout. There is a very good chance we'll be returning in the future! Thank you

Another great week in Bembridge staying at the comfortable, quiet and homely Galatea. The property is ideally situated very near a lovely beach, a small parade of shops and Bembridge village. We had glorious weather for our stay so made the most of the garden and thoughtfully provided equipment as well as the local beach, a short walk away. The property was cozy and warm with a large family kitchen and two comfortable lounges as well as a conservatory. We all felt very at home and look forward to coming again next year.

An amazing place to stay with lots of toys for kids, which kept my 2 year old entertained for hours! The garden is big and the trampoline was lots of fun, it's just a shame the weather wasn't better so we could have enjoyed it more. Galatea has everything we needed to enjoy our holiday and the owner was very helpful and friendly. We couldn't have asked for more!

Three generations of our family very much enjoyed the facilities and comfort provided by the owner of Galatea. It really was home from home, comfortable beds, a huge kitchen diner, a wonderful garden, a very quiet position within a short walking distance of the lovely beach, toys and games aplenty there really is no need to pack toys if you are travelling with young children, Jacob aged 5 and Amelia aged 2 absolutely loved finding cupboards full of toys and the badminton set and swing ball was much appreciated by us all. There are boxes of games some new which we didnt get around to using which would suit families with older children. A short walk away is a large Coop selling just about everything including Cook frozen food products. We couldnt have asked for a better holiday home thank you! I am so looking forward to returning in the autumn with my other grandchildren and daughter.

Galatea is much larger than I had expected. Downstairs there are two lounges both with TVs, a double bedroom, large kitchendiner, utility room bathshower room, conservatory and long hallway. Upstairs is a double bedroom, bunk bedsingle bed room and bathshower room. All of the rooms are well furnished and with interesting in good way items on walls and furniture. There is also a good WiFi service. There is a large garden with tables and chairs, room for games and a hot tub. I have yet to find a property as well provided for as Galatea. Crockery and cutlery are plentiful in the wellequipped kitchen. There is lots of drawerwardrobe space in the bedrooms no shortage of coat hangers and, as far as the three children with us were concerned, an abundance of toysgames. Notes, such as those saying feel free to use the toys and games, made the house seem very welcoming. Galatea is just a few minutes walk from a Cooperative shop very convenient, albeit is little dearer than elsewhere and the seafront. Bembridge is quiet compared with places such as Sandown and Shanklin but all the better for that. There are a few restaurants in the town, a fish and chips shop and bakery plus others such as Boots and another Coop. All in all, we were really pleased and delighted to have chosen Galatea and would strongly recommend it for an IOW holiday. A word of warning if you are going to be crossing from Southampton particularly on a Saturday. The traffic queuing to access the Red Funnel terminal was horrendous. The knockon effect seemed to be delays in ferry departures.

It was a comfortable and very spacious house in a fabulous location. So close to the beach, gorgeous little shops and lovely quiet area. There were toys aplenty and we appreciated the badminton set. The big TV in the super comfortable sitting room was great. There are fabulous restaurants and locallysourced food shops. The only downsides are there is no filtration bubbles in the hot tub so it gets too dirty to use after a couple of days and there is an odd smell in the porch utility room. The beds were a bit soft too and the front garden is a bit overgrown. Kitchen will need replacing for this highend expensive price and towel rail radiators in the bathrooms would be good.

A fantastic cottage in a perfect location. The layout is superb and the welcome pack was lovely. If I had a minor criticism it would just be 2 small things. Perhaps the trampoline needs a little repair as the frame appeared slightly bent, and secondly perhaps another lamp or 2 in the snug and living room. We moved the lamps around a bit as we find this lighting more pleasant. But these are really minor points. Id love to return to this property in the future.

Beautiful property equipped with everything for everyone. Lovely quiet setting but close to the beach town and central for visiting places. Gorgeous garden.

Lovely cottage, wellequipped, clean and homely. Great location as well.

Galatians is the best holiday home that I have ever stayed in. A lot of thought has gone into making it special for guests.

The bungalow Galatea however was fantastic 1010 to the owners. Lovely people to deal with and what a great holiday property. We'd love to return.

House was excellent in every single way

This is a loveky place to stay. The house is spacious, bright and airy and is in a great location near Bembridge beach. Will definately be returning.

Galatea is in a perfect location in Bembridge, only few minutes from beach, local shops and has a Coop just around the corner which is extremely well stocked. Sadly we had awful weather all week but this cottage is so cosy and comfortable to come back to and has excellent laundry facilities so we just went out and got wet! We were three generations, including an 8 month old and the accommodation was perfect for us all. We used local take aways and pubs and did not need to go outside Bembridge for our meals. Galatea has a lovely garden with a wood fired hot tub which we filled up but couldn't use as the weather was too bad but we do hope to return one day to experience this little gem to its full potential.

The Isle of Wight is a lovely Island for people of all ages. Lovely beaches, scenery, plenty of places to eat cafesrestaurants. Lots of things to do and play. Places and centres to visit. Our holiday home for the week was wonderful so spacious, tastefully furnished and had everything we needed and more The local shop was just round the corner, so handy for milk etc and the morning paper. Thank you SYKES.

Really lovely spot. Very quiet and local to amenities. Layout of the house was very nice and suited our needs

Having never been to the Isle of Wight, the house, facilities and location all exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the owners, it really was a home from home and we had a lovely week.
