Situated on the south east coast of the island, this lovely town has something for everyone! It is home to the longest stretch of beach on the island, extending six miles from the chalk headland of Culver Cliff in the north, to Dunnose Head in the south. This glorious expanse of sand provides excellent bathing, and facilities for all kinds of watersports. Blackgang Chine is perfect for the young and young at heart, with attractions such as the Hall of Funny Mirrors, Giant Hedge Maze and a 100m fast boat slide. The Shanklin Chine is also well worth a visit, with its dramatic waterfalls and deeply shaded paths.

My only suggestion is working instructions should be available for all electrical equipment. We had several issues where we had to phone for help this could have been avoided if instructions were available, especially the TV where login details were not available. Thank you for your help Jo.

It was clean and tidy the hot tub was lovely, we used it a few times to help out achy bones after the walking we did. It's in a great location with easy access to the coastal path. The owner was great with her communication. I would definitely return to this property and I would 100% recommend this property to family and friends.

Few teething issues with housekeeping at check in but these were resolved with help from Jo. The hot tub is so relaxing and the cottage has top notch quality accessories. Would recommend this cottage and we certainly plan to revisit and stay soon...
