    In the heart of the Old Village, 5 minutes to the beach

    In the heart of Shanklin a beautifully refurbished 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment on the garden floor of a lovely detached Victorian house with private entrance and 2 parking spaces, TV, coffee machine & BBQ. 1 travel cot and 1 high chair available. Please note there is some restrictive head room for people over 6' tall. The main ceilings are 6'5" and door frames 6'2".
    Discounted ferries can be arranged.
    The kitchen/diner (3.7 x 2.56m) is new (2021) and well kitted out with coffee machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer. PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO MICROWAVE.
    Bedroom 1 (4.6x 4.22m) with king size bed has an en suite bathroom, whilst bedrooms 1 and 2 share a separate shower room.
    Bedroom 2 (4.21 x 2.55m) has a king size bed, double wardrobe and bedside drawers.
    Bedroom 3 (5.18 x 2.42m) has 2 single beds, built in wardrobes, chest of drawers and bedside drawers.
    Towels and linen are provided. We just ask that you bring your own beach towels.
    The garden is decked with BBQ and seating area.
    The apartment is just yards from the famous Old Village, which has numerous thatched pubs, restaurants, bars, shops, tea rooms etc. The beach can be reached within 5 minutes walk.
    Shanklin is the ideal base for exploring the rest of the Island by car, bus or bicycle. Bikes can be rented locally and delivered to your door by Route Fifty7.
    The apartment is built into the lower ground floor of a Victorian building and does need ventilation. There is a dehumidifier, which we ask our cleaners to empty, but we ask that if it fills up during your stay that it is emptied. It would also be very beneficial to have windows open just a crack while you are in for air flow.

    Weekend in Shanklin
    Unfortunately I didn’t get the details about the key and access to the property. Luckily when we arrived there was someone at home to assist. Lovely long weekend in a great location.

    September holiday
    Good points: Excellent location, restaurants, pubs, bus stops, shops and beach all near by. A very quiet road. Three good sized bedrooms. Good quality linen and towels. Two good showers with copious amounts of hot water. Plenty of off road parking. Not so good: The apartment suffers a major damp problem, as mentioned in the information. Luckily, we had warm weather with just one wet day. The flat smells musty, even when windows and door left open for fresh air, plus the continual use of a dehumidifier, which we emptied twice. We were out all day and did no cooking. The outside space has been left to deteriorate and looks in a really poor state. It’s a shame because obviously when this apartment was renovated and redesigned a lot of thought and care was involved. We wouldn’t choose to stay again.

    Apartment in Great Location
    Couldn't fault the location of this Apartment. We stayed here with friends 4 Adults 2 teenagers and loved the proximity, close to all the Shops Pubs and lovely easy walk to the Beach. The Apartment itself could have been cleaner ..lots of Dust and cobwebs and wardrobes in kids room smelt awful so we didnt use them. The shower room flooded on one occasion but no mop and bucket so had to use the towels to clean up and the Towel rail in there needs replacing as all the coating is coming off and wouldnt want to put anything on it. We couldn't all eat together as table only seats 4 but we managed and the outside area needs lighting...couldn't see very well when coming home late and was worried of slipping on decking when wet. The accommodation wasn't the best we have stayed in but for what we paid the proximity made up for it and we've had a fab time and loved Shanklin.

    Disappointing
    This accommodation was very disappointing. The damp is a major issue, the place smells really bad, even though there is a de humidifier we had to empty this every day, sometimes twice, it is that damp. The bedding felt damp when we got into bed the first couple of nights. Cleanliness needs addressing, there were dust and cobwebs around the flat and the windows were dirty. The bathroom towel rails were rusty and the main bathroom one was actually flaking. The main bathroom tap was wobbly. The damp has affected the decor which makes it look unappealing with damp patches on the walls and ceiling. Such a shame as the location is great and the fact it has off street parking is a big bonus. We wouldn't stay again.

    Perfect location and very well equipped My only disappointment was that the outside seating was in the shade for so much of the afternoon and evening. Lovely and sunny earlier!

    Great location but room for improvement on cleanliness
    Great location in the heart of Shanklin village (and five minutes from beach) and the street was nice and peaceful. The apartment offers plenty of space as well as off-street parking. Access to the apartment was straightforward and the beds were lovely and comfortable. The apartment unfortunately suffers from damp that gives off a musty smell and is addressed by a dehumidifier. It would have been handy to have had the manual for this to save us time. Kitchen was clean but cleanliness could be improved in the rest of the apartment as there were cobwebs and dust on skirting boards and blinds in bedrooms and bathrooms could do with a deep clean. Sanitary bins were missing from both bathrooms which we found very odd. When we arrived, there was no travel cot or high chair set up, even though our booking stated that we were travelling with an infant. However, after some hunting around, we found them in a cupboard and set them up ourselves.

    Spacious modern apartment, plenty of parking, excellent location in the heart of Old Shanklin, helpful owners and easy to contact and private garden space. Only slight downside, the shower room needs attention. Would stay again

    Great accomodation
    We had a very enjoyable stay in the roomy apartment. Only downsize was that if we were staying longer there was not enough kitchen equipment.mixing bowls ,whisk,sharp knives. I might be in the minority but we always go self catering and i cook our meals.maybe if we are away for a week we would only gonout a couple of times .

    Shanklin - October half term
    The property is in an excellent location and very well appointed. The kitchen was very well equipped with good sized appliances. Also very comfortable sofas and beds and lots of storage and hanging space for the five of us who enjoyed the walking and for some an autumn swim.
