Holiday Cottage
Situated in the Old Village part of Shanklin, this newly renovated cottage has a patio garden and a balcony is located on the former site of the Upper Chine School for Girls. Today this charming holiday home makes an ideal base to explore the island
The golden sandy beaches stretch for miles and the Esplanade is packed full of amusements and crazy golf as well as several places to eat. Away from the beach the main town hosts a multitude of shops, cafe, bars and restaurants to enjoy. The Old Village is world famous with its pretty thatched cottages, cosy tea rooms, pubs, restaurants and craft shops to discover.
Shanklin Chine is also worth exploring; carved mother nature’s own hands over thousands of years. The stunning tree lined gorge cuts its mark from the Old Village down to the sandy beach and esplanade below. In the evening the waterfalls and woodland are illuminated, giving the gardens a totally different aspect and atmosphere.
