The garden is decked with BBQ and seating area.
The apartment is just yards from the famous Old Village, which has numerous thatched pubs, restaurants, bars, shops, tea rooms etc. The beach can be reached within 5 minutes walk.
Shanklin is the ideal base for exploring the rest of the Island by car, bus or bicycle. Bikes can be rented locally and delivered to your door by Route Fifty7.
The apartment is built into the lower ground floor of a Victorian building and does need ventilation. There is a dehumidifier, which we ask our cleaners to empty, but we ask that if it fills up during your stay that it is emptied. It would also be very beneficial to have windows open just a crack while you are in for air flow.

Property is a good size and was more than big enough for our party of 6 The only down side we found was the parking As we had a mini van, the width of the space to get to the parking at the side of the property was too narrow and therefore had to resort to parking in a car park at the end of the road at extra cost. Other than that, no issues and had a great stay

Unfortunately I didn’t get the details about the key and access to the property. Luckily when we arrived there was someone at home to assist. Lovely long weekend in a great location.

Good points: Excellent location, restaurants, pubs, bus stops, shops and beach all near by. A very quiet road. Three good sized bedrooms. Good quality linen and towels. Two good showers with copious amounts of hot water. Plenty of off road parking. Not so good: The apartment suffers a major damp problem, as mentioned in the information. Luckily, we had warm weather with just one wet day. The flat smells musty, even when windows and door left open for fresh air, plus the continual use of a dehumidifier, which we emptied twice. We were out all day and did no cooking. The outside space has been left to deteriorate and looks in a really poor state. It’s a shame because obviously when this apartment was renovated and redesigned a lot of thought and care was involved. We wouldn’t choose to stay again.

Couldn't fault the location of this Apartment. We stayed here with friends 4 Adults 2 teenagers and loved the proximity, close to all the Shops Pubs and lovely easy walk to the Beach. The Apartment itself could have been cleaner ..lots of Dust and cobwebs and wardrobes in kids room smelt awful so we didnt use them. The shower room flooded on one occasion but no mop and bucket so had to use the towels to clean up and the Towel rail in there needs replacing as all the coating is coming off and wouldnt want to put anything on it. We couldn't all eat together as table only seats 4 but we managed and the outside area needs lighting...couldn't see very well when coming home late and was worried of slipping on decking when wet. The accommodation wasn't the best we have stayed in but for what we paid the proximity made up for it and we've had a fab time and loved Shanklin.

A pleasant stay with comfortable beds and lounge. The outside seating area could do with a clean up.

This accommodation was very disappointing. The damp is a major issue, the place smells really bad, even though there is a de humidifier we had to empty this every day, sometimes twice, it is that damp. The bedding felt damp when we got into bed the first couple of nights. Cleanliness needs addressing, there were dust and cobwebs around the flat and the windows were dirty. The bathroom towel rails were rusty and the main bathroom one was actually flaking. The main bathroom tap was wobbly. The damp has affected the decor which makes it look unappealing with damp patches on the walls and ceiling. Such a shame as the location is great and the fact it has off street parking is a big bonus. We wouldn't stay again.

Perfect location and very well equipped My only disappointment was that the outside seating was in the shade for so much of the afternoon and evening. Lovely and sunny earlier!

Great location in the heart of Shanklin village (and five minutes from beach) and the street was nice and peaceful. The apartment offers plenty of space as well as off-street parking. Access to the apartment was straightforward and the beds were lovely and comfortable. The apartment unfortunately suffers from damp that gives off a musty smell and is addressed by a dehumidifier. It would have been handy to have had the manual for this to save us time. Kitchen was clean but cleanliness could be improved in the rest of the apartment as there were cobwebs and dust on skirting boards and blinds in bedrooms and bathrooms could do with a deep clean. Sanitary bins were missing from both bathrooms which we found very odd. When we arrived, there was no travel cot or high chair set up, even though our booking stated that we were travelling with an infant. However, after some hunting around, we found them in a cupboard and set them up ourselves.

Spacious modern apartment, plenty of parking, excellent location in the heart of Old Shanklin, helpful owners and easy to contact and private garden space. Only slight downside, the shower room needs attention. Would stay again

We had a very enjoyable stay in the roomy apartment. Only downsize was that if we were staying longer there was not enough kitchen equipment.mixing bowls ,whisk,sharp knives. I might be in the minority but we always go self catering and i cook our meals.maybe if we are away for a week we would only gonout a couple of times .

The property is in an excellent location and very well appointed. The kitchen was very well equipped with good sized appliances. Also very comfortable sofas and beds and lots of storage and hanging space for the five of us who enjoyed the walking and for some an autumn swim.

Overall the property was very comfortable and well presented, except for: no clothes drying facilities; for a property advertised for 6 people the only dining table would only seat 4; we were forced to pay £22 to park in the public car park as for several days after our arrival one of the promised spaces was not available - we feel this extra cost should be refunded; there was no welcome pack as promised. In addition, the VRBO website was unavailable when we should have had access to the key box code and final arrival/departure details. THIS REVIEW/COMMENTS STANDS. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT

Great location. So close to shops, pubs and beach. Plenty of space in the accomodation for our party of 3 adults and 2 children. Beds were comfortable. Would be useful to have access to a dust pan and brush or something to enable us to clean up when the kids inevitably drop their cereal on the floor.

Good location, clean and nicely decorated. The main bathroom could be better - it suffers from being on a basement location. The bathroom could do with a complete refurb bit the rest of the property was very good. Access to car park is a bit tight but gets easier as the week goes by.

Great place for a group of friends

Just spent a very enjoyable few days with friends in Old Shanklin Guest House. Perfect place to stay with a group. Big bedrooms with comfy beds and lovely en suites, well-equipped kitchen, great location within walking distance of all the attractions and amenities of Old Shanklin, close to the seafront and coastal walks. Would highly recommend it.
