Lovely place to stay

Beautiful house in a wonderful location.As Canadians we were relying on the internet but alas, giffgaff is a useless SIM card. So I would recommend printing the directions as google maps will take you to completely the wrong place. After much shenanigans we managed to google a neighbouring street, which worked just fine!

Excellent home away from home

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The view was magnificent and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The neighbourhood was quiet and the town of Shanklin was a short walk away. Our host was gracious and welcoming.
