Beautiful views and only a short walk from Shanklin old town
This was a stunning setting with a beautiful spring garden full of primroses and daffodils. The apartment itself was easy to find, we had no problem finding a parking spot, the apartment was clean apart from a used mask behind the drawers and a razor cover left in the shower. We were able to access the apartment at 4.10pm and arrived with our shopping delivery! The milk in the fridge and small pack of tea and coffee was a nice touch along with a peronalised welcome card.
Overall the apartment was really comfortable, unfortunately some rather noisy guests arrived part way through the week in the apartment abovebut we didn't let it spoil our holiday. Would book again!
The flat was better then we had expected. The onsuit shower room was a particular advantage that we hadn't anticipated from the description. For the walking holiday that we wanted it was in a great location on one of the best parts of the coastal path and we had a wonderful (though rather wet!) walk to the highest point on the island, a delightful circular walk of about 5.5 miles from the flat.
Lovely property in a great location. Lots of homely touches to make the stay a real home from home. Perfect for a couple or a family. Sunrises on the balcony we're beautiful!
