We had a fabulous time at Chestnut Mews - the house was absolutely perfect. we all commented on how nicely furnished it was and very well equipped - we had everything we needed. It was also spotlessly clean! Thank you for having us!

Everything about Honeysuckle Cottage either met, or exceeded, expectations.
The house was comfortably and tastefully furnished, with lots of little extras to make life easier.
The kids absolutely loved all the toys in the garden and were particularly taken with the double storey cubby house.
Definitely hope to return.

We had a wonderful stay in this excellent accommodation, a short walk from Shanklin Old Town, the beach and Shanklin Chine.
The property was spotless, superbly well equipped and the hosts were extremely responsive.
The shared garden was large, well maintained and meant that our 5 year old daughter had some friends to play with when we got back from the beach.
It was extremely quiet at night - overall couldn't fault it, we'll be coming back

One of our best holidays yet. The house was clean and tidy, had everything we needed. I loved that the smart TV allowed me to sign into all my streaming apps, kids appreciated that. They really enjoyed the garden. It's a shame we didn't see any red squirrels, maybe next time we come lol

Honeysuckle Cottage was the ideal venue for our Christmas break.
The accommodation was ideal, well furnished and fitted out to a very high standard.
We enjoyed spending the Christmas period with my youngest son and his family who live locally in Shanklin.

Everything we needed was provided for us. Lovely comfy beds and very comfortable and practical furniture throughout. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio and watching the birds but didn't see that elusive red squirrel other guests reported seeing the previous week! Fantastic location and would love to return to next year, definitely recommend to everyone.

Starting with good communication from the owners, we found everything as promised.
On a private road in a very quiet area just outside Shanklin,, parking is easy in the drive.
Good location for Shanklin and short walking to sights beach and coastal path.
Very well equipped kitchen with even a sandwich maker. Plenty of plates, glasses and so unlike many places which give you 3 or 4 .
Private patio has some sun while large shared garden has more. Garden is very much set up for small children but good sound proofing in the house helps . We saw happy red squirrels every day there!

I stayed in Honeysuckle Cottage with my wife, elderly in laws and 2 grown up children and what a fantastic week we had. First of all the location was perfect for the Shanklin Old Village with all its pubs, restaurants, hotels with entertainment and shops. The beach was only 10 minutes walk away but the lift was closed due to covid so we had to drive down with the oldies as they would never have walked back up, luckily we had a blue badge so got 8hrs free parking. The house itself was spotless and really big. The highlight though was the gardens which were massive with loads of trees and wildlife, including a couple of red squirrels which would make an appearance about 07.30ish in the morning. All in all I can't fault these cottages and will definitely book again. Thank You

Property is located in a lovely quiet area just a 10 minute walk from the sea front and only 5 minute walk from Shanklin's high street. It offers wonderfully large playing gardens with multiple play houses and climbing frames with swings for children to explore. This was an instant huge hit for our 3 year old and the "children friendly" touches didn't start and stop there. There was a small portable step in the bathroom which allowed my son to wash his hands, use the toilet and get into the bath by himself and the large cupboard under the stairs had a number of toys and games that could be used.
Being located off of a private road there is no through traffic or road noise to worry about and the owners communication following our booking was great - providing us with useful links and information as well as suggestions of things to do (we didn't know the Isle of Wight very well before this visit).

Beautiful house with a stunning garden
We stayed in this lovely house for a week. It is in great condition and everything was super clean. The shared garden is huge and stunning - our daughter would have been happy to spend the week there!
Location is also great for walking into Shanklin Old Village or down to the beach. We are already planning when we can come back!

Excellent accommodation, perfect location
We have stayed at Chestnut Mews a few times now. Over the years we have stayed in all three cottages, Clematis, Honeysuckle and Jasmine, they are all excellent. Lately we have booked Jasmine and our daughter and family book Honeysuckle these two cottages have a large shared garden which is ideal for children. There is a slide and two playhouses. Clematis has its own private garden. The cottages are child friendly, tastefully decorated, well maintained, well equipped and always spotlessly clean. A welcome pack is provided with biscuits, coffee, tea etc and a bottle of Proscecco or Cava
The location is perfect for the 'old village' Rylestone Gardens, Shanklin beach , walks and other attractions. We love staying at Chestnut Mews and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else on the island. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A comfortable and well equipped cottage
We had an very enjoyable stay at Jasmine Cottage, the grandchildren especially liked the garden play equipment which gave then hours of enjoyment. Seeing red squirrels in the garden was very special. We found that the cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed, which made our stay very relaxing and most enjoyable.
