Gaze out across the picturesque River Medina with your canine companion by your side when you book this sumptuous Isle of Wight group retreat. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom, dog-friendly abode sits beside the river at Binfield, 2.5 miles from Newport. Capturing spectacular views, it has balconies where families and friends, including your paw-some pal, can savour the scenery. The four-storey holiday home is ideal for following the 9-mile Medina Estuary circular walk.

Let yourselves in at ground-floor level to find an exquisite lounge/kitchen/diner where you can feed hungry hounds and humans as you gaze out across the water. Pull open the doors in here to let your chum sniff the fresh air while you settle on the sofa to watch the Smart TV. There is also a WC downstairs. Follow your waggy-tailed friend up to the lounge on the first floor. Here you can pull more doors open to another balcony or he can keep you all company while you play games or watch the Smart TV. There is also a family shower room and a twin bedroom at this level. A king-size bedroom, with a Juliet balcony, and a family bathroom are on the floor above, while a stunning second king-size, with an en-suite shower room, enjoys a commanding position at the top of the house where far-reaching views are pulled right inside. The property also features a double bedroom. Take your furry friend for a country walk or riverside stroll then return to relax on one of your balconies or in the seating area to the front of the house together.

Spend an afternoon together at Quarr Abbey, 4 miles away, where four-legged visitors are welcome in the grounds and there are woodland walks. The grounds at Osborne House, 3.5 miles away, make another superb, dog-friendly day out.

We had a lovely time in the house. There's everything you need. Location is great for everywhere on the island. There's plenty of free parking. Loved the balconies, shame the weather wasn't kinder.

The house is on 4 floors and suits couples, with only one room with 2 x single beds. Well appointed and plenty of space. Toilets on each floor. Coffee, tea and milk available on arrival were appreciated. As was the bottle of Prosecco. The location is really nice, on the water by the marina. Many of the houses have permanent residents who are Read morefriendly and chatty. Pubs nearby and walks too. Only about 30 minutes from pretty much anywhere. Just beware the mosquitos, even on the top floor. Sunrises and sunsets are available from the verandas. Hide

The nicest place we've stayed. Great location for visiting the island. 10 minutes from a choice of supermarkets. Fantastic views from all 4 floors. Very quiet & private. Plenty of space for 2 families. Could happily have stayed longer.

Superb location and great house, on three floors (so you get fit walking up and down the stairs). But our week was marred by arriving to a freezing property and then a property manager who was unhelpful, rude and defensive. Quite incredible. Secondly, the cleaning wasn't great. We found a dirty grill pan in the oven and sweet wrappers on the floor Read morein the bedroom and living room, All in all, disappointing. For the money, I expected much better. Hide
