Such a warm & welcoming house, very clean and had everything we needed for our family. Super spacious kitchen, games for the kids, comfy beds, easy parking. Great location to explore the whole of the Island and added bonus of being a couple of minutes walk to the Shanklin Theatre and an easy stroll to the seafront!
