Location good but not great if you have mobility issues

Not a place to stay if you are a smoker /vaper, as no where on property is permittable

Met outside and immediately made to feel welcome. The apartment was of the highest quality - no complaints anywhere. There was even a bottle of wine in the fridge! The location was ideal. With a car, nowhere on the island is more than 40 minutes away. Parking was on the main driveway outside the apartment, which was very handy in a busy town.

The weather, but even that wasn't a problem - the apartment was in the middle of Shanklin, so everything was within a few minutes walk.

Little Gem. Shanklin Old Village. We have been hiring cottages in this country and France for a very long time and Little Gem rates up with the best, both in facilities and location. Paradoxically, it is surrounded by one of the Island 's main tourist locations Shanklin Old Village and Chine, yet is very peaceful and quiet. It is in an extension of an 1830 villa and includes a well appointed kitchen, shower room and large bed-sitting room with south facing balcony overlooking a well designed Sub Tropical garden. Because it is located on a slope a breeze has kept us pleasantly cool when hot and the thick stone walls would keep the interior warm in the coldest of English Winters. My wife and I are so grateful for the many kindnesses the owners (Mr and Mrs Green) have shown us and who keep the property spotlessly clean, well maintained and tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending this "Little Gem" and shall certainly return in years to come ourselves.

Friendly hosts but not intrusive. Close proximity to cafes, restaurants and bus stops. Lovely surroundings with footpaths nearby.

The apartment was spotless, spacious and well equipped. The location was perfect.

The location, secure off road parking and the flat layout.

Noisy radiator and pipes, and I mean, really noisy, they creak and clang when heating up, and cooling down. There was a buzzing noise coming from outside, which made sleeping with the door ajar, which I have too, difficult. Shower tray is really slippery, and shower is not the simplest, with very stiff twister. Only property we have stayed in where we were told you MUST take your shoes off in the kitchen, which is totally impractical in a tiny kitchen when you suffer with arthritis. When guest's stayed in the room above it became even more noisy, they weren't noisy, but you could here everything.

perfect location, beautiful apartment, lovely personal touches provided by the hosts

Everything was perfect the host’s were ver friendly.

I think you couldn’t fault anything.
