About this property

Briar Bank, The Isle of Wight.

Briar Bank is a fantastic example of a Victorian house and the ideal place to stay for those looking for a home from home getaway. This characterful property retains many original features, including cornicing, traditional high ceilings and decorative fireplaces. The lounge is furnished with comfortable sofas and makes the perfect place for guests to kick back and unwind after a day exploring the Island. Should opinions be divided on what film to watch during evenings in, there is an option to decamp to the second reception room; which also has a sofa bed, for two. Follow the hall along to the back of the house, you arrive in the semi open-plan kitchen diner. The dining table is conveniently located adjacent to the fully equipped kitchen area, but being tucked around a corner means the nominated chef can eat without seeing the mess left in the kitchen! The breakfast bar is handy for more informal or on the hoof eating, whilst a separate utility room hides the washing machine and tumble dryer. A ground floor WC opposite the utility room is an added bonus for those who don't want to dash upstairs when the need arises.

Upstairs there are three comfortable bedrooms, starting with a spacious master with a super king bed and a large bay window, which makes this room wonderfully light and airy. The second bedroom has dual aspect windows, so again ensures there is plenty of light and equally, plenty of space and storage. The final room is the smallest, with bunk beds that are only suited to children. A generous bathroom completes the first floor and includes a corner bath, separate shower and useful more often than not, twin wash basins.

Make the most of those balmy summer evenings by dining al fresco in the back garden or alternatively enjoy a lazy, long, lunch under the shade of the parasol. Being fully enclosed, the garden is also a safe space for children play freely.

We enjoyed our stay in Shanklin
We enjoyed our stay in Shanklin. The house was modern, clean and felt spacious and well equipped with all the facilities we required. The interior was nicely decorated and everything in good working condition. The location was good, within a 2 min walk of the main high street and a 2 min drive of the beach. The garden felt reasonably private and secluded. The experience from booking to checking in and leaving was smooth and went without issue

Nice October stay, well located, cleaning comfortable
We had a pleasant long weekend here: - plenty to do in Shanklin and around - parking convenient as was location (5 min walk to pubs and shops) - all clean and comfortable, especially beds Would have been nice to have a few more things on arrival - tea, coffee, enough toilet rolls. A couple of things need attention (door knobs, rear gate)

A family holiday in Shanklin
We have stayed in the house twice before with our young children and this year did not disappoint. Very comfy beds, sofas and spacious rooms. Just a couple of odd jobs that need doing around the house and garden. Very nice stay as always.

Fantastic house
Our week at Briar bank was fantastic, The house was clean and very spacious, it was a real home from home. Location was excellent, close to local shops restaurants and very close to the beach. Facilities in the house were excellent and all round it was excellent. I was a little concerned about the parking at the back and to be honest it could do with being designed better so that you can easily get a bigger car in it, I was driving a smaller car so wasn't a problem for me. (That is only criticism every thing else was great) I was saying to my family I would buy this house that's how nice it was
