The Coach House was perfect for our stay in Shanklin. The cottage was very clean, well equipped and in a great location within easy walking distance of the beach and the old village. Jill the owner greeted us when we arrived which was a lovely touch and she was happy to help with any questions we had during our stay. We will definitely stay at the Coach House again if we return to Shanklin.

Thank you Lisa. I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay at The Coach House. We place a great deal of importance on greeting our guests. Although there is a key-safe for a self check-in when this is required, the personal touch is important for us as it establishes a more personal contact should you need our assistance during your holiday. We hope to see you on the Isle of Wight again.
