Originally built for the Lord Mayor of London, Sir James Thomson Ritchie, and subsequently used by Reverend William Page Roberts, Bishop of Salisbury, for his final years, it was later owned by the McAuslane family, who turned it into a well known hotel. After its closure, it was then used by Upper Chine School for its final years. After being left for a decade, the current Highlands was then constructed, a grand and impressive mock Georgian manor house that lived up to its predecessor in terms of scale and views across Shanklin. However, it was never finished and derelict, open to the elements, for a decade. Now, after an extensive refurbishment and conversion, it is now restored into 5 spacious, luxurious apartments. Each of the apartments offer their own quirks and special features, from the penthouse's unique roof top conservatory and balcony with its fantastic views to the annexe's duplex apartment, the property is spread across four levels from the garden to the penthouse with annexe to side. The property benefits from spectacular panoramic sea, town and countryside views around the building, going across to Sandown Bay, Shanklin town and the Downs towards Ventnor. All of the apartments benefit from oak furniture and leather sofas, oak floored living areas with fitted kitchens with granite worktops and all your key appliances, 32" LED TV with Freesat and DVD and free wifi. Communal gardens are available for all apartments to enjoy with seating available alongside off road parking and cycle parking bays. For apartment 2, the property is a ground floor apartment accessed via communal area with double with ensuite, twin and single bedrooms. There is a bathroom, kitchen/diner and curved living area with direct access to communal garden. We are able to provide a travel cot with linen and high chair for your stay at no extra charge. Apartments 1, 3, 4 and 5 are also available to book individually or in any combination for larger groups. The property is found on the coastal path between Shanklin and Sandown and just down the road from National Trust land and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is also a few minutes walk from the picturesque Old Village and its thatched cottages, plus shops, pubs, restaurants and the main town, as well as the cliff top, Esplanade and Shanklin's beaches. Discounts or special rates on all car and foot passenger ferry and hover routes are available, so please get in touch after booking for details. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Single level property - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, DVD player, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32640000/32636500/32636462/86fad951.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Edge of Old Village, close to shops, park and beach; ferry discounts Shanklin - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 79 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=32636462&PinnedHotelID=32636462&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39070000/39066500/39066429/cda1590d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Highlands Apt 5 - cliff top, garden, free wifi + parking Shanklin - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=39066429&PinnedHotelID=39066429&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33590000/33587800/33587729/fc1616fa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Character Stone Cottage, Heart of the Old Village,10 mins walk to the beach!
