Summary: The Sanctuary provides everything you'll need for a relaxing, comfortable stay..& more! From the welcoming complimentary bottle of wine & traditional IOW shortbread, to the fantastic roof top garden views! The thoughtful simple caring touches really help, such as the WiFi passwords & emergency contacts & all info set out in the folder..no guesswork & looking up needed! the leaflets on places to visit, the well stocked & labelled kitchen - items such as food bags, cling film & tin foil, washing up & hand wash (provided in all bathrooms too + loo tolls), washing machine & dishwasher detergents, kitchen paper & tea/coffee/sugar & milk sachets to use in the canisters, & the games, books, dvd's, games console +games, all helped greatly :)) The furnishings & beds are of good quality, relaxing & comfortable too. I feel that Island Holiday Homes have really thought about the comfort of thier guests as the Sanctuary was a fantastic place to stay
