Previously part of the former Gatten and Lake Primary School, Old School Mews has been converted into a truly wonderful holiday ‘home from home’. The unique character of the original building has been preserved, whilst benefiting from a modern, sleek twist. The developers spent a considerable amount of time and effort focusing on the detail taking full advantage of the building’s grand dimensions and classic architecture. The accommodation comprises a large, open-plan living space with French doors that lead on to the enclosed, rear garden. The modern kitchen benefits from built in appliances, including a breakfast bar. The master bedroom on the first floor has a spacious en-suite shower room, and there is also a second bedroom plus the family bathroom. The second floor offers an extremely spacious third bedroom which occupies the whole of the top of the house; it contains two 4ft beds, and is an ideal room for up to four children.
Located only minutes away from the cliff path with direct access down to the beach, this charming, terraced holiday home makes an ideal base for small groups, or perhaps even two families, wanting to holiday together. The nearby golden, sandy beaches stretch for miles, and the Esplanade is packed full of amusements and crazy golf, as well as several places to eat. Away from the beach, the main town offers a multitude of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants.
The Old Village is renowned for its pretty thatched cottages, cosy tea rooms, pubs, restaurants and craft shops. The seaside town of Shanklin is well served by public transport around the island with regular buses and the railway ‘Island Line’ to Ryde and Sandown. Outdoor pursuits on the island include horse riding, fishing, cycling, paragliding, golf and water sports. There are numerous attractions across the island to discover for all ages, such as The Needles, with its chairlift, amusement park, boat rides, lighthouse and coloured sands of Alum Bay. Blackgang Chine, Dinosaur Isle, the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, Ventnor Botanical Gardens, Tapnell Farm Park and Carisbrooke Castle are other attractions. Or why not pay a visit to Queen Victoria’s favourite holiday residence, Osborne House and its gardens? The sailing towns of Yarmouth and Cowes also make for a great day out. Whatever you decide, the Isle of Wight has plenty to offer. Beach 550 yards. Shop ½ mile, pub and restaurant 550 yards.

We had a wonderful stay At the old school mews!The location was easy to find, and all of us were really impressed with how clean and well presented the house was. The openers had very kindly left a welcome package including bread and milk and a bottle of wine (plus loads of other bits and bobs!) these were so helpful and much needed as our food shop had been delayed. There accommodation worked perfectly for us, the only thing I would change is the being a black out blind on the skylight in the children’s bedroom? Would have made nap times a little easier! But honestly the House was a perfect refuge from the slightly fact weather we had whilst away. Warm and snug. I would recommend it to anyone!

Super clean well equipped house. Bedrooms very spacious and kitchen has every conceivable piece of equipment you will need. It is situated close to Shanklin old town for choice of restaurants and short drive to the seafront. Both could be walkable if fit.
