Shanklin Villa

Very clean, nice decor, had access to all the appliances we needed and situated in a great location.

The bed was a little small, the room was very hot (couldn’t open windows overnight as we were in the ground floor). The tiles fitted in the bathroom floor are a slip hazard (these are gloss wall tiles not floor tiles).

I’m not sure if we had a free entry to the Shanklin shine in our package for the holiday, we paid for it in the end, was there a card we was supposed to use to get in free or was that not included?

Not a lot the kitchen was well stocked in equipment and was clean the complimentary basket was a nice touch

We quickly realised we were staying in a converted garage the shower was so pathetic in pressure rain would be more effective it was too small and you couldn’t hear yourself think with the extractor fan going and the room was so light in the morning. In the blurb it said that you can use the sister hotel facilities but failed to say it’s a 15 minute walk or a five minute drive. We failed to find the hot tub we ended up cutting out stay short by two days as we could sleep in the tiny double bed which you had to walk sidewards to get round god help four adults staying in there using the sofa bed the shower is a wet room which gets very wet and the mat doesn’t let water flow easily.

Clean bright spacious a home from home I strongly recommend this property to everyone. The owner seemed to think of everything A great experience

garden area and spacious lounge

We had an amazing time staying at Shanklin Villa (Battenburg Apt). The spaciousness, cleanliness and little treats blew us away! The location of the apartments is very convenient, being a 5min walk from the beach and 10min walk from the centre of town where there are grocery shops, cafes etc. Ruth & Sarah were very attentive and helpful in providing details of the area and what we have access to. Very warm and approachable workers within the premise at all times.

The only criticism we can make is that the shower room is merged with the toilet and hence it can get wet all over and takes a bit of time to dry properly. We were driving to IOW Festival daily which takes ~25mins and the roads need your full beam on and careful turning around the winding country roads. If that's not an issue for you, and you like to spend some time on the beach as well, this place is the perfect choice.

We stayed in Cadogan, a one bedroom apartment. The location was fantastic, right on top of the beach. With a seaview from the living room of the apartment. A short walk to Shanklin Chine, old town, or beach. Our own parking space was a must, that gave me peace of mind whilst away. We had everything we needed in the apartment. Dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll, milk, washing pods, hand soap, showergel, shampoo, biscuits, tea, sugar, coffee machine with pods. An iron and board, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, TV, radio, fridge, coffee machine, gas hob, oven, kettle, and toaster. It was clean, roomy, and we had WiFi. The bathroom had a shower but not a bath. There were games, monopoly Scrabble etc for a rainy day. The TV was setup for BBC iPlayer and Disney, and possibly more apps we didn't try, making it great for the entire family. The access to the local hotels facilities and Chine were unexpected, and very well received. We managed to use the toddler play area, outdoor park, and toddler pool. They really have thought of everything. Would stay again.

The automated fire door closer on the kitchen needed new batteries, so it kept on closing. Which was annoying, and I had to watch my toddlers fingers constantly. Third party payment collection was painful. Other than that, absolutely nothing! Would recommend in a heartbeat.
