Wonderful place to stay

Everything was clean, comfortable and welcoming. I would highly recommend for families and being on the costal path was a treat. The sea views from the windows was amazing.

The Upper apartment at the Old Vicarage was everything it 'said on the tin' and so much more besides. It was very tastefully furnished with a tremendous eye for detail, the rooms were all very spacious, kitchen had everything that was needed, cutlery, crockery, pots, etc in abundance.My three sisters and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, as the experience was an exceptionally positive one.I would definitely recommend the Upper Apartment at the Old Vicarage, guests will not be disappointed, quite the reverse.Thank you to Island Holidays, for making everything perfect... Warmest regards, Lilian (Ball)

Great base for our family holiday.

Really well equipped and very spacious accommodation, comfy beds, good quality bed linen and towels. Whole property was finished to a high standard with a good range of entertainment options including TV, dartboard and large table football. Great views and short, but steep walk to Shanklin seafront. Really useful to have a washing machine and tumble dryer, especially with children around. We had a great time and would highly recommend. Oven gloves and kitchen table mats would have been useful. Kitchen knives could do with sharpening and some of the saucepans were a bit worn. It would have been helpful to know in advance that the coffee pods for the Nespresso coffee machine could only be purchased online.

On walking in we were stunned for quite a while. This is an amazing property and it made the holiday. We were sad to have to leave. Wanted to stay forever.

Lovely long weekend

We had the most lovely long weekend staying at the stylish upper apartment Old Vicarage in Shanklin. It was even nicer than in the photos and being there actually felt like staying in a five star hotel: massive fluffy towels, high-end bathroom products, plush, springy carpets, and a kitchen with everything you could think of, and all new. There was attention to detail in every room, including USB phone charger plugs next to the beds and electric toothbrush chargers in bathrooms. We spent quite a bit of time on the sun terrace, staring out at the sea and the large landscaped garden. We didn’t mind not having access to the garden but maybe the lower apartment would be better suited to families with younger kids. Coming from London we really noticed the space - big, spacious rooms and stunning views from every window. We’ll definitely be back.

Fabulous place

A beautifully restored property in a wonderful location. Very comfortable with great views of Culver and Luccombe. Great for a family gathering. Plenty of space for everyone. As it is a new let, just a few things that would make it even better! Coasters to stop the glass on coffee tables from marking, oven gloves, coffee machine, serving spoons, whisk. Some adult sized coat hangers in single bedded rooms as well as child ones, mirrors in bedroom, hooks on bedroom doors for dressing gown/towels. Please don’t take as a criticism, just some suggestions!

Family holiday in Shanklin Old Vicarage Upper Apartment

Easy check in process. Accommodation was absolutely stunning. Very spacious. High ceilings. Beautiful decor. Kitchen that was a pleasure to cook in and very well equipped. There was milk, ice, tea and coffee for our arrival....lovely. Sufficient cleaning products. Very clean accommodation. Close to beach. Games for the kids.....darts and table football a great addition as well as board games and puzzles. The best self catering accommodation we've stayed in! The major issue we had was the heat. We were on top 2 floors of the Old Vicarage. It felt hotter inside than outside on occasion. As soon as we walked in the heat inside the apartment blasted us......we had to close the curtains on the sunny side and try to open the windows. It would be good if we could have opened the windows a bit more but I understand due to health and safety this may not be possible. 3 of the 5 nights were very uncomfortable which would have been manageable if we could have opened the windows more to get the breeze in. Am not how the heat issue can be addressed but given the increasing temperatures may be something to consider?
