We were very impressed with this property. It was well equipped, in a good location, near to facilities and beautifully furnished. It had everything we needed and contributed to making our stay on the Isle of Wight fantastic. Nearly forgot to say thank you for the goodies left for us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our November stay at Kenmare Cottage, it is very spacious and well equipped, and so very homely, the owners have thought of everything. The location is very convenient, it is close to the shops and the beach in Shanklin, it is also handy for the old village, restaurants, pubs and takeaways, which are all within an easy stroll. This is by far the best place we have stayed in Shanklin and would highly recommend the property. The team at Island Holiday Homes were also fantastic, they provided excellent customer service throughout our stay. Their attention to detail was great, they promptly answered all my pre-holiday questions, they efficiently booked our car ferry tickets (at a great price!) and kept us really well informed. Thank you.

The house is lovely and homely with nice touches, clean and tidy with everything you need. The games room is a fab idea if you have generations stopping or young children. It is a short walk to the beach, and into the town. Although the house is on a main road, the traffic noise isnt really an issue, and the seating area at the back is quiet and warm in the sun. The house is spacious and well laid out , and more then enough room for families. . Parking would be an issue if you have a large car, or more then 1 car, we have a Mokka and managed but it was hairy at times. You are also exiting the little road at the back of the house where you park , onto a main road on a blind bend from the right, that is also hairy at times. So you need to be vigilant when leaving. On the whole a lovely house.

We were impressed with the cleanliness when we arrived. Everything was very clean and the house was full with all amenities you can think of. Kitchen was stocked, playroom full of games, books and gaming station and plenty of linen and towels provided. The instructions were very clearly provided in advance but also in the welcome guide. The house is in a great location being close to the shops (300M), close to the old village (5 min walk) and beach lift (7 min walk). Being in the middle of the town however means that there has been a lot of noise from the road and neighbour houses with all the windows open in the middle of summer. There is ample parking at the back of the house but a little tricky to get to if you have a bigger car. Throughout our 2 week stay we needed to contact maintenance & housekeeping for some bins advice and she was extremely responsive and helpful. I cannot fault it and gladly stay again!

Beautiful house in a fantastic location

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.

Family holiday

Family holiday

A beautiful home, had a lovely stay. Most things we needed were provided and the house is well maintained, but shocked there was no coffee maker even though it was listed. We bought a caffetiere and left it there. It is advisable to bring a fan as windows need to be kept closed due to the very noisy neighbour and 4am seagulls - lovely as they are, they are loud! Take great care driving out onto main road, a blind exit. A big struggle to vacate by 9am with a baby and toddler, we felt under pressure and accidentally left things behind in the rush. Not being able to check in until after 5pm and having to leave by 9am feels as though we were overcharged as we missed the best part of a day. One of the keys doesn't work for the back door, we had a struggle trying to get out. Overall, a nice place, worked well most of the time. (I don't suggest you publish this review, I just wanted to bring some things to your attention).

We spent 2 weeks at Kenmare and enjoyed it greatly. It is tastefully decorated, comfortable, very well furnished and considering the current restrictions we'll equipped. There is plenty of room for a family, the playroom is a great idea stocked with a TV, wii, dvds, board games and a comfy sofa. We would give the house 9.5/10.

Lovely cottage in excellent location

Lovely cottage in excellent location

Beautifully decorated cottage, spacious, clean and with everything you could want. Carpets seemed new as so soft and clean. Decor was lovely. Furniture very comfortable and so much space in the whole property. Kitchen had everything you could need. They even supplied hand sanitiser, soap and washing up liquid as well as milk and cakes left for us. The large parking space was a bonus and the garden was lovely with plenty of chairs and table for outside dining when weather permitted. Table tennis table was folded away but easy to get out and put back. Wii games and board games for us and granddaughter to play. The location is excellent, 10 mins walk from the beach, two mins from town and 5 mins from good choice of restaurants. Shanklin Chine is also 10mins walk away. We walked to Sandown a few times, approx 30 - 40 min walk. Kenmare Cottage is lovely and if visiting IOW in future, we would definitely stay here again if able.

Perfect in every way

Perfect in every way

A stunning holiday rental,perfect for exploring the whole of the island. The house was immaculate, fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. Full Covid measures had been taken and we all felt safe and reassured by this. Off road parking is a bonus but a bit tricky as access is via a narrow road with small maneuvering room if you have a bigger car. Lots of outside space if whether permits with garden furniture and table tennis table.

Great Holiday Rental

Great Holiday Rental

Kenmare property is a great property in Shanklin. Very close to the main shopping streets and restaurants. Only 10 mins walk from the esplanade. All rooms are good size and decorated to a high standard. Very comfy beds and bedding options if more/different options needed. The property is on a main road and parking is at the rear of the property, the access road is quite narrow but we managed ok. We had a great holiday during Aug 2020 and would recommend Shanklin, IoW and this property to any family.

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.

A fantastic base for a holiday

A fantastic base for a holiday

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kenmore Cottage, and highly recommend it as a base for an Island holiday. Great location for the beach and town. Accomodation roomy enough for 7, including 3 older children who enjoyed their own sitting room. I can't think of anything the owners hadn't thought of, and we have already booked for next summer.
