About this house rental

Briar Bank is a fantastic example of a Victorian house and the ideal place to stay for those looking for a home from home getaway. This characterful property retains many original features, including cornicing, traditional high ceilings and decorative fireplaces. The lounge is furnished with comfortable sofas and makes the perfect place for guests to kick back and unwind after a day exploring the Island. Should opinions be divided on what film to watch during evenings in, there is an option to decamp to the second reception room; which also has a sofa bed, for two. Follow the hall along to the back of the house, you arrive in the semi open-plan kitchen diner. The dining table is conveniently located adjacent to the fully equipped kitchen area, but being tucked around a corner means the nominated chef can eat without seeing the mess left in the kitchen! The breakfast bar is handy for more informal or on the hoof eating, whilst a separate utility room hides the washing machine and tumble dryer. A ground floor WC opposite the utility room is an added bonus for those who don't want to dash upstairs when the need arises.

Upstairs there are three comfortable bedrooms, starting with a spacious master with a super king bed and a large bay window, which makes this room wonderfully light and airy. The second bedroom has dual aspect windows, so again ensures there is plenty of light and equally, plenty of space and storage. The final room is the smallest, with bunk beds that are only suited to children. A generous bathroom completes the first floor and includes a corner bath, separate shower and useful more often than not, twin wash basins.

Make the most of those balmy summer evenings by dining al fresco in the back garden or alternatively enjoy a lazy, long, lunch under the shade of the parasol. Being fully enclosed, the garden is also a safe space for children play freely.

We had a pleasant long weekend here: - plenty to do in Shanklin and around - parking convenient as was location (5 min walk to pubs and shops) - all clean and comfortable, especially beds Would have been nice to have a few more things on arrival - tea, coffee, enough toilet rolls. A couple of things need attention (door knobs, rear gate)

We have stayed in the house twice before with our young children and this year did not disappoint. Very comfy beds, sofas and spacious rooms. Just a couple of odd jobs that need doing around the house and garden. Very nice stay as always.

Our week at Briar bank was fantastic, The house was clean and very spacious, it was a real home from home. Location was excellent, close to local shops restaurants and very close to the beach. Facilities in the house were excellent and all round it was excellent. I was a little concerned about the parking at the back and to be honest it could do with being designed better so that you can easily get a bigger car in it, I was driving a smaller car so wasn't a problem for me. (That is only criticism every thing else was great) I was saying to my family I would buy this house that's how nice it was

Overall a lovely property to stay in and very close the Shanklin beach front and from there easy access out to the rest of the island. Few things to mention - Parking is very tight for a larger vehicles and there is a pole in the middle of the drive which I misjudge and has caused significant damage to my vehicle. Should be a retractable pole. Shower wasn't secured properly which meant the shower head would drop to the lowest position when being used, frustrating. Mattress in the second bedroom was uncomfortable compared to the mattress in the main bedroom, which was very comfortable.

2nd year we’ve stayed here. Positives: 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 big living rooms, garden, parking space & the company are always very friendly to deal with. Great for a family of 4 & apart from a hairy 10 yard walk without a footpath, the location is convenient for both the beach & town/shops. Downsides: some of the plumbing for the sinks require a service, some of the neighbours aren’t very friendly and we kept finding dog poo on the gravel where the cars are parked, which is neither nice nor fun when you have small children & makes parking quite an experience! The shower is a bit rickety and it was hard to adjust the water temperature so you could end up frozen or scolded! Would also be nice to know what day the bins are collected because we just couldn’t find out via the local council website. Otherwise another lovely stay.

Nice house not good parking
Nice house not good parking
Lovely house but it is supposed to sleep 6 and it has a tiny dining table that barely seats 4. Two lounges! Why? One of them would make a perfect dining room. Parking was a nightmare. We have an average size car and had to do an 8 point turn to get in the parking space. Would of been a little bit easier if the parking didn’t have a post half way across it. The access is also very very narrow and the wall has various colours of paint on it from previous incidents, wouldn’t of booked it if I’d of been given information about the parking and poor access. On arrival there was a dirty towel in the hallway and rubbish under the coffee table.
