Away from the beach, the main town offers a multitude of shops, cafés, bars, and restaurants. The Old Village is renowned for its pretty thatched cottages, cosy tea rooms, pubs, restaurants and craft shops. The seaside town of Shanklin is well served by public transport around the island with regular buses and the railway ‘Island Line’ to Ryde and Sandown.
Outdoor pursuits on the island include horse riding, fishing, cycling, paragliding, golf and water sports. There are numerous attractions across the island to discover for all ages such as The Needles, with its chairlift, amusement park, boat rides, lighthouse and coloured sands of Alum Bay. Blackgang Chine, Dinosaur Isle, the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, Ventnor Botanical Gardens, Tapnell Farm Park and Carisbrooke Castle are other attractions. Or why not pay a visit to Queen Victoria’s favourite holiday residence, Osborne House, and its gardens? The sailing towns of Yarmouth and Cowes also make for a great day out. Whatever you decide, the Isle of Wight has plenty to offer.

The house is stunning! The welcome pack on arrival was a lovely surprise.A 10 minute walk to Shanklin beach or 15 minutes in the other direction takes you to the town centre.

One of the best and cleanest places we've stayed in. Great position in Shanklin the only fly in the ointment was being right on the road and the noise issue that comes with that. I Would still recommend it even so. Host very good and attentive.

Lovely comfortable spacious house.Well furnished and equipped with everything we needed.Lots of useful information supplied by the owners.There is car parking on site, but there is a very useful bus route right outside the house.Lovely walks just a few minutes away, the cliff and the coast paths.
