”A very nice weekend getaway. This hotel is well located, has very friendly staff and is well kept. Clean rooms and a very good breakfast. Also the pool is nice. The only minus was having our stay during a very hot weekend and having a room at the rear side of the hotel facing evening sun - no air conditioning… we still slept well!”

”Very spacious and clean single room. Equipped with fridge and a fan which were both very welcome on the extremely warm conditions. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is undergoing full refurbishment by dedicated owners. Extremely good value for money also.”

”Property is old but very close to the Shanklin beach. Rooms initially provided were not clean but Manjot on the reception desk helped immediately to change our rooms. We unfortunately got the road facing rooms though we were hoping for sea view (as hotel name suggests) but informed that it needs to be mentioned in the request. And biggest disappointment: POOL WAS NOT OPERATIONAL.”

”It was clean and fully equipped for family self-service stay. Thank you.
It would be nice to have an ensuite master bedroom (perhaps not applicable to this property now, but I will look out for one next time). Also, we would have preferred a lock on the master bedroom door. Otherwise, spot on!”

”The apartment was well-equipped and comfortable.
We were cold in the mornings. There was no option for turning the heating on earlier. As we get up early we found that a bit uncomfortable.”

”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...

”The old vicarage was extremely spacious with lovely gardens - perfect for two families to spend time together. We especially enjoyed the lovely sea views from the veranda - a great place to relax with a glass of wine while the children played football or bounced on the trampoline. The apartment was also perfectly located - a short walk from the beach/minigolf and a range of good restaurants, and easy access to the various sights of the Isle of Wight. We visited a different place each day, with...

”Hotelli on erinomaisella paikalla korkealla kalliolla meren rannassa viehättävässä Shanklinin kylässä. Hotellista portaat suoraan alas rannalle, Shanklinin vanhan kylän puoli kivenheiton päässä. Merenpuoleisista huoneista on upea näköala. Hotellissa on mukiinmenevät sisä- ja ulkouima-altaat, poreallas ja minigolf sekä todella nätti puutarha, jossa kioskikahvio. Huoneet eivät ole mitenkään erityisen viihtyisät - kannattaa ehdottomasti ottaa näköalahuone tai premium näköalahuone, jos tässä...

”Location was perfect. 5 minute walk to beach and old Shanklin. lovely and a very good sized house.
Service from the Island company was great when we advised the rug smelt of dog likely from previous guest. Came and collected rug.
Maybe just make it clearer there is a tight turning to access rear of property for parking. We had no issues but less confident driver may struggle but doesn’t detract from lovely stay in the property and week on the island.”

”A very nice apartment with excellent sea views. Lounge/dining furniture a little tired but functional. Everything very clean.Guest guide book was not updated for 2026. There was guidance provided to connect a smart TV to the internet and how to access Netflix etc but the actual TV provided was made in 2008 and predated these facilities! Tried to contact the host regarding access door key instructions but call not returned. It would have been useful to have had small waste bins in the bedrooms...

Wifi was a bit slow.”

"A perfect little place by the sea! The room was clean and cute and the beds very comfortable. Loved to wake up in the morning and sit on the balcony, also slept the windows open to hear the sea.
The restaurant downstairs closes at 10pm but there was no disturbance whatsoever even on the weekend, you could hardly even hear it to the room.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming, they also got us a table in the restaurant even when there was a line outside. The restaurant also had very good vegan options, so we didn't even need to go find a place to eat in the evenings.
Loved having breakfast before the restaurant opened, watching the sea in the homely atmosphere.
Will definitely book again!"
