We had a lovely stay, we chose this property because our family were coming over from the mainland. It was very well equipped for children, great toys, a huge wendy house! The kitchen was also very well equipped which was very much appreciated for family meals.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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).
