Our apartment is situated in a superb location with sea views. It is on the coastal path between Ventnor to the south and Sandown to the north. 5 min walk will take you to the old village with its thatched tea rooms and restaurants. Just down the road is Rylstone Gardens with its bandstand and also the entrance to Shanklin Chine, a truly wonderful walk through leafy glades which is illuminated during the summer evenings. At the foot of the Chine is Fishermans Cottage, the pub on the beach (which can also be reached by coastal path, just a 8 min walk from our apartment).
Buses run frequently around the island with open-topped as an option. The nearest bus stop is 2- 3 min walk down the road alongside a large open park which has its own pond and ducks.
The island has many attractions for both adults and children alike including Osborne house, the favourite seaside home of Queen Victoria.
Our apartment is an ideal base for the perfect holiday. More information at foot of page.
Other Activities: Geocaching, hang-gliding, kite surfing, theatre, various festivals and shows
