Ideal island location

The property is ideally situated a 5 minute stroll from Shanklin old village. It is in a mews off a private road.The property was well maintained and equipped with everything we needed and the red squirrel in the garden was an added bonus!We would happily use again and recommend.

Review of Honeysuckle Cottage Shanklin I.O.W

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.

Lovely stay in beautiful Shanklin

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

Brilliant find!

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.

Awesome Holiday

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

Great place in Shanklin. Just as advertised.

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!

fabulous holiday

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.

The best property I've stayed in Shanklin.

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

Perfect family retreat, ideal for those children

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).

About the host

Hosted by Peter & Mandy Daley

Host profile image
We have owned have owned Honeysuckle cottage for twelve years, it was not our plan to rent out our holiday home, but came with bookings and did so well we just carried on.
We have three children, one boy and two girls, although almost all grown up now, they all love Shanklin and the beach and can't wait to stay in the cottage.
Being a close family all hands are on deck, our mums are a great help, we have lovely housekeepers and their families who also help, and a very willing gardener's, who turns his hands to most things.
Knowing how much families have to take with them on holiday we have tried to think of everything so that all that needs to be had is a good time!
We really hope you love the cottage and The Isle of Wight as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose Honeysuckle cottage for its great location, we later bought Jasmine and Clematis either side, these are also holiday cottages, as we were finding it hard to find a week free for ourselves! We love how close they are to the beach, water-sports, The Old Village, parks, and great countryside. The size of the garden was another great plus as we had very active children with plenty of energy although almost grown up now. They still love to see the rabbits on the lawn, the jay and looking out for and feeding the squirrels in the winter, they are getting very cheeky!
We love the fact that you feel miles away from the bustle of a busy seaside town, yet are close enough that within a few minutes walk you can be part of it.

What makes this property unique

Honeysuckle cottage for us is a relaxing holiday, surrounded by plenty of things to do and see, or just watch the children play in the garden. The red squirrels are facinating to watch and are getting quite brave! The Old Village has many places to eat out, its nice to walk down in the evening, without the worry of the car, or to stop for dinner or a drink on the way back from the beach. Rylstone Gardens, only a couple of minutes walk away has a crazy golf garden that's fun and café and sometimes in the summer has bands playing in the bandstand. The Island has so many different things of interest, festivals, carnivals, plenty of village shows, history, Shanklin theatre puts on a fabulous pantomime, zoo's, and much more and none of them are more than an hour away.
We have tried to make Honeysuckle cottage as child friendly as possible, stair gates, bed guards, toys, books, DVD's and a great garden to explore, so that you can make your holiday as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.
