Guesthouse vacation rentals in Shanklin

We had a lovely time, Maria is a great host and her husband is very pleasant. Breakfast was delicious. People that wish to stay connected to the internet, be aware that in the New Forest reception is very poor.

The house is very well located near the beach and the town centre. The room is large, clean, and nice. It is easy to get in touch with the host and we had a overall a great stay.

A fantastic cottage in nature. A lovely big garden with river and a good place to explore the New Forest. Claire was a fantastic host!

Friendly and accommodating, despite a later than anticipated evening arrival. Good selection of cold breakfast options, including fresh fruits.

Perfect stay for the second year running. We’ve had a wonderful weekend, eaten at The Pig and Lind House hotel and spa at Chewton Glen. Then had this little gem to wind down in after. Thank you

We have just got back from staying at Jenny’s property, from the moment we arrived both Jenny and her husband were so welcoming and helpful. They very kindly allowed access to their garden, which was great for our dog and daughter. They provided great recommendations throughout our stay. The property is in a stunning spot, with access to the beautiful countryside surrounding them. We were blessed with great weather, so loved the sunsets each evening, and sun rising over the back of their property each morning. We visited places across the island during our stay, and found this was a great location to do this from.

Excellent little spot for a night or two, was happy to stay again. And Jade's extremely lovely. The noise does carry if neighbours are in their gardens, which can be a bit disruptive at night, but that's all down to luck! Will likely stay again.

A very comfortable, cosy and well equipped cottage in a beautiful tranquil setting. Absolutely loved our stay and as we visit family regularly I’m sure we’ll be back now we’ve discovered Paddock Cottage! Rosie and Richard were perfect hosts.

A nice place to stay

What a lovely and relaxing couple of nights stay we had at Debbie and Paul’s accommodation. After a long day and several hours travel, being able to unwind at L'Atelier was a pleasure. We were greeted by Debbie and Paul’s son who was friendly and welcoming (along with their lovely dog!). Everything was as described, it was spotlessly clean, the kitchen and living space was comfortable and the bathroom was great. The bedroom had decent storage for all our clothes and was also very comfortable. The location of L'Atelier is really peaceful and calming, but we were only a 10 minute walk away from a couple of local pubs and a little bit further to local restaurants. Communication from Paul was really good, again very friendly and had all the information we needed. It was a lovely couple of nights stay, would not hesitate to recommend.

This little property was just perfect for us, it was walking distance to the hospital and it had off street parking. It was a lovely quiet, peaceful little place and felt very comfortable.

Had a brilliant time at the cabin - lots of lovely walks nearby, great buzz when we stopped by the brewary, and the cabin itself was beautiful and equipped with everything we needed. Tom & Lucy were fantastic & very helpful hosts. Fresh bread & beer were highly appreciated!

Emma and Rob were great AirBnB hosts. 'Little Ivy' was extremely well appointed and everything I needed was already there. Also there were some lovely touches like the towel and the treats for the dog, wood available for the fire pit, everything set up for the BBQ plus not to mention a welcome package of some staples plus a bottle which was very generous. It's so great to have hosts who I felt were prepared to go just that little bit further to make my trip a little bit special. Great shower pressure too! The location was great to explore the New Forest as well as the local beaches and the neighbourhood was calm and peaceful which was exactly what I was looking for. Recommend very highly!!

Emma has a beautiful place, very lovely stay. The decor is great and very inviting. The owners were very kind, welcoming and made it a pleasure to stay. Would highly recommend this place, would definitely stay again.

Had a great stay, brilliant location and host was responsive. Good amenities and extras (like milk and juice to help before a shopping trip!). Got a bit cold in the evenings due to the weather but Andy was really responsive at getting the heating turned up for us. Would definitely stay again.

Couldn’t fault the accommodation. It has everything you need for a self catering break with a clean, modern and luxurious feel. Completely self contained, but within the security and comfort of a private gated home. Wonderful location for easy access to the coastal path for incredible views and relaxing manageable walks to lovely pubs and restaurants making it the perfect weekend retreat. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and the hosts were on hand to depart their local knowledge of the area to ensure you make the most of your stay.

We really enjoyed staying there especially as it was Dog friendly! The accommodation was clean and well presented and Ruth was great host, helping us out with a parking challenge! Would definitely stay again. R&E

Beautiful home with spacious rooms. Responsive hosts.

Jenny and Alex are marvellous hosts—their kindness and generosity shine through—they made us feel truly welcome. They are also excellent guides for the island, providing you with plenty of info before arrival and then are very much on hand to offer any further support you may require. We also received a BUMPER hamper, by way of dispensation for some minor work they were carrying out in the garden, full of delicious island fare. Plus, there is a daily supply of wonderfully tasty fresh eggs, courtesy of Barbara and her fellow hens! The decor in The Coach House is beautiful, modern, tasteful and it is spotlessly clean. The area it is situated in is also beautiful, quiet and perfect jump point for great beaches, walks and restaurants. Highly recommended on all fronts.

A brilliant long weekend in this cosy annexe. Susan was really friendly, giving us space but also being there when we needed a little support. We would definitely recommend!

We had a fantastic stay at this charming Airbnb in the New Forest. The location is perfect—peaceful, scenic, and within easy reach of walking trails, quaint villages, and local pubs. The accommodation itself was well-equipped, and full of thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. Emma was super friendly and responsive, offering great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. We especially appreciated the welcome pack and local tips! If you're looking for a relaxing escape surrounded by nature, this is the spot. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Deb and Andrew were very lovely and friendly hosts. They recommended restaurants and nice things to do to help us explore the area and they were always on hand if we needed anything. The Annex is small, but perfectly formed. We made good use of the seating area with a table outside to eat our breakfasts and relax in the sunshine in the afternoon. We also used the lockable stables to safely store our bikes.

We had a lovely stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. We felt right at home and had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend.

Diane’s place was comfortable, clean, bright with natural light and quiet - home away from home. Had all that was required for an enjoyable stay including TV in the bedroom as well as the living room which had great resolution and access to NETFLIX and other apps; fully equipped kitchen including a upgraded washing machine. We were warmly greeted by Diane on our arrival who thoughtfully left a fresh pint of milk in the fridge and other ingredients for a much needed cuppa after a long day of travelling. Complementary tea biscuits were also included. I noted all the kid-friendly aspects of Diane’s place including built in steps in the bathroom for the lil ones to reach the lovely wash sink. Diane’s place was close to the beach and places to eat which served tasty and reasonably priced food and featured great service. Diane’s place is a must have and we shall definitely be returning. Thanks again Diane for contributing to a fantastic time away in IOW. Will highly recommend Diane’s place x
