Johanne was very helpful with ferry information before we arrived. A warm welcome greeted us with lots of lovely touches in the apartment, which is hidden away on the side of Johanne and John's house. Whilst compact, the apartment is spotlessly clean, light, airy and equipped with everything you should need, with private garden area. We didn't realise just how steep the hills are but if you didn't want to take the car there is a bus stop to go into the town about 500 yds up the road.

Extremely nice and friendly people, very efficient with responding when we needed help before arrival. Beautiful location cca 3min walking from the coast and beautiful house and amazing garden. We received very warm welcome with complimentary bottle of wine from the hosts. We absolutely loved it ❤️

The property is a one bedroom apartment close to Shanklin beach, Shanklin old village and on a main route to access other areas. The hosts were very friendly and flexible with our check in times. Although fairly small the property makes great use of the space. The kitchen is well stocked with all you need - cooker, microwave, toaster, fridge / freezer, crockery & glasses. The bedroom/living/dining area is well laid out, the bed was comfortable. The shower was small but fully functional with both raindrop & flexible shower heads. The hosts also left a welcome pack for us. The driveway entrance is tight for a larger car and needs care when joining the main road as it’s on a hill & bend. Parking is off road at the property. There is a small garden area with table/2 chairs. In the summer period the sun is bright in the bedroom so black-out curtains on the wide patio doors might be an idea otherwise you get woken up at 4:00am on sunny days. A fan and perhaps an ice cube tray might also be a useful summer addition. The hosts live on the property so are available for any queries / help and to be fair we didn’t ask for any of these so they may have been available if needed. Overall it was a great property, well positioned, clean & tidy with very lovely hosts. We would use them again.

Johanne and John are excellent hosts and really made our stay in Shanklin memorable. It was a short walk to bus train shops pub’s restaurants and the flat was extremely comfortable and cozy. 5 stars all round .

Perfect accommodation for two people for a short break. Close to beach and beach restaurants and bars. A very enjoyable stay.

Very compact

We really enjoyed our stay and Johanna and John are excellent hosts. The apartment is clean and neat and had everything we needed during our stay. It is also conveniently located and not far too walk to the beach where you’ll find a variety of cafes. The Salix Cafe was the best for a full English breakfast and you can walk all the way to Sandown Pier from there. The apartment feels very private with its own entrance and garden and the area is quiet. There is also ample secure parking.

We found the property was clean, comfortable, and close to amenities. Every effort was made by the owners to make our stay enjoyable.
