Cottage holiday rentals in Shanklin

Our second visit here, and will likely come back. Astrid is a great host and the stables are a lovely little space to stay with beautiful surroundings and a great location within the New Forest.

We had a lovely stay at Greenbank. The house was spacious, tidy and clean, and we appreciated the extras provided by the host (towels, toiletries, tea and coffee). The property is just a short walk away from a playground , shop, pharmacy and local places to explore, which we enjoyed investigating. Our 4-year-old loved reading the children's books from around the house and the garden was a lovely spot to play in. We paid to have the hot tub, which we found easy to use and great fun. Thank you to Amy for a lovely stay.

We took our 19 month twin girls on their first holiday, and the Piggery did not disappoint. We wanted a place with no stairs so it was a good find, the accommodation was great, with probably the most comfortable bed my wife and I have every had away from home, we couldn't believe it! the girls had their own room which was large enough for a single bed and the two travel cots. Kitchen had everything we needed, toilet and shower room was more than adequate for our needs. The best part of the stay were the sheep, our girls absolutely loved saying hi in the morning and bye at night, the sheep were friendly and the girls loved them so much I may need to get some of my own 😲. The instructions were spot on, easy to get in and out, plenty of storage in a locked barn for the roof box and buggy. The location is great, very peaceful, lovely walks, 10 minutes to Lymington, 30 minutes to Southampton. we got the ferry from Lymington to the Isle of Wight. Highly recommend this stay.

We had an amazing stay at Ashley’s cottage. The kitchen/living area is absolutely beautiful and suited us as a group of friends when doing breakfast/lunch etc. Our favourite bit of the property has to be the outside area. Having an outdoor shower/toilet, hot tub, kitchen area and bbq just topped off our weekend and we spent most of our time outdoors. A few outdoor games were left in the garden and it gave a good few hours of entertainment for us too! Ashley was super inviting and was very clear with check in instructions etc. The house felt very safe & secure and we all got very good night sleep from comfortable beds. We would love to come back again next year and for years after this!! A really lovely place!

This was a really lovely house and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen area - the size, brightness, appliances and crockery etc - was the highlight. It was particularly well stocked with some generous goodies left for us. The garden was also lovely - great to eat outside at the large wooden table, as well as enjoying the last of the day’s sun in the corner seating area. The table tennis table was very well used by the 4 of us and great fun. Thanks for a great stay

This was our second time staying and we loved it as much as the first time. The place is so peaceful and cosy. Jane was very responsive and helpful. Looking forward to booking another stay in the future!

Absolutely stunning place. Like a super luxurious safari lodge! Whole area is beautiful and everything in the lodge is state of the art. We stayed with our 3 kids who fought over who would get the canopy bed in the lounge. Loved the hot tub, had a fab bbq and slept like babies. Spent a day at west wittering beach which is close by and felt like we were abroad. Sarah’s lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. She even let us stay all Sunday as they had no-one arriving at no extra cost. Who does that? We’ll definitely be back!

Haviland Cottage was a really lovely place to stay - clean, tidy and comfortable. Description was spot on! Beautiful house, lovely decor and very comfortable beds. Plenty of towels both for inside and the hot tub. The grounds were stunning and very well maintained. Lots of different areas - our dogs loved the outside areas. Dogs were well catered for - beds, blankets, bowls etc. Kitchen was well equipped with plenty of crockery, glasses and cutlery. Dish washer tablets and washing pods provided which was a bonus. Was a perfect getaway with our family. All so good, would highly recommend a stay here!

The place, location and host were very good. Some very good restaurants in the area. A must place to go to is the Zoological Gardens. Would definitely book with Bree again.

really great house in an ideal location, walking distance from the foot ferry into Cowes. had everything we needed to visit the island for the weekend for a wedding

We had a lovely few days at April Cottage. The cottage is very comfortable and in a great location for exploring the New Forest and the coast.

Pam was a fantastic host. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the beds comfortable. A choice of pillows made it extra cosy. The kitchen was well stocked and fresh chickens eggs were a special treat. The cottage is tucked away, un-overlooked and the only sounds are the birds singing. There’s a strawberry fields at the bottom of the road where you can PYO in summer months. We will definitely be back if we can find some available dates! Thank you for a fab stay

We had such a wonderful stay at Rebecca's lovely cottage. Perfect location away from London, with some real characters. We'll be back!

Great stay with my wife and 2 kids at Katrin's place. Bungalow was very clean, spacious with 3 great size bedrooms. Nicely furnished and plenty of useful extras and activities. Really appreciated the lovely welcome pack of brownies, homemade jam, bread, milk and butter. Nicely situated in a quiet road, just a short walk or cycle back to the main high street. Would highly recommend and will be booking again!

My family and I had a fantastic stay! The place was beautiful—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located with absolutely stunning views. Nigel was incredibly responsive, helpful, and made everything so easy from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway!

Amazing place to stay, one of the best. It has everything you need and more. Lovely touch with a bottle of wine waiting for you. The location is perfect to explore Bosham, which is stunning.

Sandra's cottage is a gem tucked away from it all on the estate within the beautiful grounds. The property itself is gorgeous with an array of amenities, immaculately presented and sparkling clean. The private courtyard garden was an added bonus and perfect for early evening drinks in the sunshine. The estate is within easy reach of many of the attractions in the New Forest. Sandra is a very responsive host and checked in with us midway through our stay to ensure that we had everything we needed. Thoroughly recommended.

We had such a lovely stay here, you could not find a more perfect location for a relaxing time, and to top it of the home is immaculate. Neil's communication was perfect keep us informed about everything and made sure we got settled. thanks so much for welcoming us.

Communication was quick and easy with Natasha. Drove through New Forest and saw the wild horses, then soon at the Ferry. Ferry was very well organised and they even knew our names at the check in booth! Access was straightforward, very clean and tidy throughout. Literally less than 10 mins from ferry, but far enough away in a quiet little area. Beautiful clean cosy cottage, very comfortable living. Situated in an excellent position.Small gated garden opening out onto large grass area.Then steps down to beach and licensed cafe. Forest to left of the cottage-long walks and great views. Super dog friendly-seemed every where in the Isle of Wight-in multiple cafes,pubs and restaurants, dogs spoilt, given their own complementary treats and water!Fully recommended for a couple(s) or family get aways and even spoiling the pooch.Thank you very much for having us,we felt very welcomed and really enjoyed every minute-could quite easily live there! Hope to book with you again!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank You for a Lovely Stay, Wendy! We had such a wonderful time staying at your Airbnb from the 5th to the 9th of May. It was the perfect little getaway for me, my parents, and my baby daughter Aria. Your home was clean and so comfortable—it made a great base for exploring the Isle of Wight. We loved travelling around the island and especially enjoyed visiting the Needles at Alum Bay, the seafronts at Ryde and Shanklin, and the charm of Ventnor. It was always a pleasure to come back in the evenings and relax in such a peaceful setting. The surrounding scenery was beautiful too—we even enjoyed just strolling around the area. Thank you again for being such a thoughtful host. We truly had no complaints at all and would definitely love to return in the future. We’ll be recommending your place to friends and family!

We all really enjoyed our stay at Pebble Cottage. There were some lovely local restaurants, like the Crab & Lobster Inn. The house was cosy and the children loved the bunk bed!! Thanks guys

We had a wonderful stay at Fisherman’s Loft and so glad we found this absolute gem for our holiday. David & Sarah are the perfect hosts and their attention to detail is fantastic and it feels so homely. We loved the views out to sea and despite the weather not being great we had some lovely days out across the island. We would definitely recommend a stay here to recharge and relax in the most perfect little seaside accommodation.

Had an amazing stay, Brading House was practically in the centre of everything we wanted to do! There were plenty of bus routes to tourist locations, like Sandown to see the pier and wildlife sanctuary, Shanklin beach and Chine, a bus runs through from Ryde to Sandown and there’s lots to do along the way, like stopping off at the Wishing Well Inn to check out the Mermaid Distillery- We had a lovely dinner at The Bugle Inn and went down to the Brading Roman Villa too.

The house is wonderful, very well equipped with everything you need and the views are stunning. The only downside is parking - it was very difficult to find a space nearby. Having said that we had a lovely time and will definitely return. Thank you Yasmin for your help!
