Excellent accommodation
The house is lovely, a short walk to the beach and other activities. We really enjoyed our stay. The house was so comfortable with lots of space for us all.

Relaxing Winter Break
We thoroughly enjoyed our November stay at Kenmare Cottage, it is very spacious and well equipped, and so very homely, the owners have thought of everything. The location is very convenient, it is close to the shops and the beach in Shanklin, it is also handy for the old village, restaurants, pubs and takeaways, which are all within an easy stroll. This is by far the best place we have stayed in Shanklin and would highly recommend the property. The team at Island Holiday Homes were also fantastic, they provided excellent customer service throughout our stay. Their attention to detail was great, they promptly answered all my pre-holiday questions, they efficiently booked our car ferry tickets (at a great price!) and kept us really well informed. Thank you.

Very Nice
The house is lovely and homely with nice touches, clean and tidy with everything you need. The games room is a fab idea if you have generations stopping or young children. It is a short walk to the beach, and into the town. Although the house is on a main road, the traffic noise isnt really an issue, and the seating area at the back is quiet and warm in the sun. The house is spacious and well laid out , and more then enough room for families. . Parking would be an issue if you have a large car, or more then 1 car, we have a Mokka and managed but it was hairy at times. You are also exiting the little road at the back of the house where you park , onto a main road on a blind bend from the right, that is also hairy at times. So you need to be vigilant when leaving. On the whole a lovely house.

Beautiful house in a great location
We were impressed with the cleanliness when we arrived. Everything was very clean and the house was full with all amenities you can think of. Kitchen was stocked, playroom full of games, books and gaming station and plenty of linen and towels provided. The instructions were very clearly provided in advance but also in the welcome guide. The house is in a great location being close to the shops (300M), close to the old village (5 min walk) and beach lift (7 min walk). Being in the middle of the town however means that there has been a lot of noise from the road and neighbour houses with all the windows open in the middle of summer. There is ample parking at the back of the house but a little tricky to get to if you have a bigger car. Throughout our 2 week stay we needed to contact maintenance & housekeeping for some bins advice and she was extremely responsive and helpful. I cannot fault it and gladly stay again!
