Beautiful house in a fantastic location
This property is lovey large house, in a fantastic location between old town Shanklin and Shanklin sea front both we walked to on many occasions, about 15mins to the front and 10mins to the old town. There are plenty of eating places, restaurants and take always within a few minutes walk from the house.
The house was lovely and clean on arrival, with plenty of towels and everything we needed to make our stay perfect. As mentioned in other reviews the road along to the parking is tight but we have a very large car and managed it without to much of a problem, the neighbours all seemed friendly.
We had a fantastic time and will definitely return.

Stylish, spacious base for our lovely family holiday
We loved our stay. The house was beautifully clean and stylishly decorated and the play room was ideal for the boys. The location was ideal for the beach and town too. Crossing the main road was a little tricky with the wheelchair but with parking for 2 cars and great access at the back of the property, this didn't prove problematic. Would definitely stay again.
