Avoid if you are seeking peace and quiet

We were seeking a peaceful location, close to Shanklin and with the sound of the bubbling Chine in the garden. Instead we were hemmed in, with properties all around and with a very noisy group of people next door. As such, we could not even go in the garden and dreaded coming back to the property after a day out. It was so unpleasant that we came home two days early.

Wonderful stay in beautiful property and great location

The Coach House was clean and tidy and tastefully furnished throughout. Every little thing you might need to feel at home is supplied. Peaceful location just outside the Shanklin old village (within 10 mins walk) with lovely park opposite. Jill is a marvelous host providing great communication and welcoming us personally. Thoroughly recommended for a stay in the Isle of Wight!

Perfect location

Perfect location as walking distance to shops, restaurants in a beautiful quaint little village. It was also ideal that the beach was within walking distance. Opposite the house was a large Field with a little duck pond and a children’s Park so our little dogs loved going over there each morning for a run. The house had everything that was required for a holiday. It was clean and tidy and Jill was a perfect host.

Everything we needed and more

What's not to like about this wonderful property? Ideally situated near Shanklin Old Village, clean, well maintained and everything we needed for a fortnights stay for a family of 6. If you want to explore the island without using your car this is the ideal place, 2 bus routes nearby, and only one change at most to get you almost everywhere on the island..

Lovely house in a fab location

Had a lovely stay at Jill’s house with our two boys, Granny and two dogs. Location is great and walking distance to the old town with nice shops, pubs and restaurants and a short stroll to the beach. The park opposite the house is an amazing space and great to walk to dogs with a small playground for the kids. The house is very well equipped and a real home from home with all the essentials (and more!) catered for. Wouldn’t hesitate to re-book in the future!

The Coach House was perfect for our stay in Shanklin. The cottage was very clean, well equipped and in a great location within easy walking distance of the beach and the old village. Jill the owner greeted us when we arrived which was a lovely touch and she was happy to help with any questions we had during our stay.
