Company information

Hi - my name is Rosamund (or Ros) and I am new to the island - but not to hosting. We have been hosting holiday apartments for over 10 years in London, until we visited the Isle of Wight recently, fell in love and a new venture was born! Clarence House was only the 2 house viewed, after which no more houses were necessary....it was featured on the BBC's Escape to the Country as a dream home on the Isle of Wight and we feel so privileged to be its new owners. As seasoned travellers we understand the importance of arriving to a spotless apartment, fresh crisp sheets and a hot shower, Not to mention reliable wifi. Rosamund tried out the apartments as a paying guest first, to see how her potential guests would feel waking up in them. Our aim is to provide the exact same first class service that Marion offered. If there is anything missing please do not hesitate to let us know.
