Words cannot explain what a lovely holiday home this is. So much thought, time and effort. There is everything you could want for a family. I will definitely be telling other friends with children this is a must when going to the Isle of Wight. A real absolute treat.

What a wonderful home from home Hazeldene is and what a wonderful host Jan is - responsive and helpful. The house is very comfortable and extremely well equipped. Plus a lovely large private garden that was great for our dogs and with every configuration you could want for relaxing and dining.
Jan and her family have obviously worked hard to create this haven but clearly enjoyed thinking of every detail to make your stay fun and interesting, especially for young ones with lots of toys, books craft bits and suggestions, so the house has a lovely feel to it.
Well located in a quiet hamlet yet within walking distance to Shanklin (eateries and pubs etc) with great footpaths almost from the front door.
We loved the Isle of Wight and this house was definitely the icing on the cake!

Fantastic stay
We had an amazing stay on the Isle of Wight
Hazeldene however really made our trip
It was a beautifully relaxing property. There was nothing that we needed that it didn’t have
A huge amount of time, effort and care has gone into making this property what it is
All of our party slept so well in this peaceful, calming cottage
For us, the back garden was bliss. We sat out every morning, afternoon and evening, soaking up the sun and enjoying the view of the garden and surrounding land
The whole property feels very private and not overlooked at all
The trade off for this is you have to drive into town, but the very few cons are far outweighed by the pros
The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, and the array of outside seating options are mind boggling, but we all found our favourite seats for the week!
Jan was a fabulous host and communicated well if we needed anything
If you are looking for a calming, peaceful, relaxing retreat, whilst still only being a 5 minute drive into town/beach, don’t hesitate, just book it!

Wonderful Stay
Perfect holiday home, located just a short drive from Shanklin. The beautiful garden and attention to detail really made our holiday complete
Jan was a really lovely host and very helpful.
There was only myself , husband , my mom and our two dogs but this house would be perfect for little ones as there’s a big playroom too .
