Cottage holiday rentals in Shanklin

Our second visit here, and will likely come back. Astrid is a great host and the stables are a lovely little space to stay with beautiful surroundings and a great location within the New Forest.

Amy’s cottage was very cosy! Great location with the Buddle inn nearby for a delicious dinner. The cottage was more than big enough for our family of five and we had a hugely restful and enjoyable stay. We’ll be back!

Had a really lovely stay. The place was immaculate and everything was as described. There’s a really helpful folder inside giving ideas on where to visit for dog friendly days and walks. Can’t wait to visit again! Beautiful place and such a wonderful hosts.

If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful, calm and relaxing stay, look no further.

We had an amazing stay at Ashley’s cottage. The kitchen/living area is absolutely beautiful and suited us as a group of friends when doing breakfast/lunch etc. Our favourite bit of the property has to be the outside area. Having an outdoor shower/toilet, hot tub, kitchen area and bbq just topped off our weekend and we spent most of our time outdoors. A few outdoor games were left in the garden and it gave a good few hours of entertainment for us too! Ashley was super inviting and was very clear with check in instructions etc. The house felt very safe & secure and we all got very good night sleep from comfortable beds. We would love to come back again next year and for years after this!! A really lovely place!

Lovely, clean and well maintained property. Great location for exploring the island but also to just relax and enjoy the hot tub and seaview. Host was very welcoming and always on hand if needed. Would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the island, it is so homely. Thanks again!

This was our second time staying and we loved it as much as the first time. The place is so peaceful and cosy. Jane was very responsive and helpful. Looking forward to booking another stay in the future!

We've spent a week there. Great place, clean, good condition, good communication with host. Nothing to complain about. We'll be back next time for sure!

Fantastic stay iin cosy comfortable house with all amenities, during Round The Island weekend. Right next to the marina and at one end of the high street. Peaceful. Handy to have the carpark at the back of the residence. Warm welcome with biscuits, tea, coffee.

Lovely little cottage with a secure garden. The village has a fantastic little shop for everything you need and a very friendly village pub with great food.

I picked this wonderful cottage for its proximity to a wedding venue nearby. I stayed there with some friends who could not stop telling me what an amazing find this was! Do not hesitate to stay here for the super peaceful surrounds like the garden, sea view, and eggs from the chickens (huge plus!!) A big thanks to the wonderful host Pam, who made the stay very simple from start to finish!

Loved this cottage. It had furnishings and decor entirely in keeping the age and character of the cottage. We were warned about low ceilings and the steep stairs. Kitchen is well equipped and opens on to the back garden with seating area. The separate dining area has a table cut from a slice of timber. There are 2 bedrooms with comfortable beds. Bathroom has both a roll top bath and a walk in shower. Washing machine very cleverly is tucked away next to the bathroom. Bosham is a quiet, pretty village with a frontage to the sea channel. There are 2 pubs ( both recommended),a couple of cafes and an arts and crafts centre. The Church is also worth a visit. Nearby are the seaside villages of East and West Wittering. Parking beside the West Wittering beach is expensive so plan to stay most of the day. Chichester is accessible by bus (no 56) from Bosham. All in all a great place for a few days stay.

From the warm welcome and the homemade brownies to the clean and spacious interior, Bentley Cottage is the perfect place for a New Forest escape. We are already looking forward to our next time!!

We absolutely loved our stay here at Forest’s Edge. From the moment we arrived we felt right at home. It was very relaxing (even with three dogs and a toddler!) the garden was absolutely lovely and nice to find somewhere our rescue dogs are secure and can enjoy. Our toddler loved playing in the garden on the slide/swing and other garden toys. We had absolutely everything we needed here and throughly enjoyed our stay, we will be booking again and think this will become our yearly holiday spot now!

We had a wonderful stay at the Boat House. It really is a stunning location, close to all amenities and great restaurants, its also an ideal spot just to sit and watch the wildlife, we spotted Herons, Egrets and oystercatchers to name but a few! We also rented bikes from nearby 'Off the Rails' and had a great cycle ride along the river to Freshwater Bay. Would have loved to stay longer but hope to return soon.

Beautiful location and the host added very thoughtful amenities like a choice of bubble baths to choose from, a massager machine, fans in every bedroom which was very much needed during this heatwave. The choice of teas and coffees were amazing too.

Lovely stay that we enjoyed with our two little boys. Great living space for everyone and garden for running around. My children especially loved the reading corner! Very friendly hosts and in a great location with a beautiful beach and walks on your doorstep

We stayed here with our 2 young kids (3yo and 18 months) for 4 nights. The house is in a brilliant location. Just 1 min walk to esplanade which has a paddling pool for young kids and play area adjacent to the beach. There is also a Waitrose 2 min walk in the opposite direction. The house is approx 20mins drive to Shanklin and our kids throughly enjoyed the beach and the rides. Would highly recommend this property and will be booking it again next year.

We all really enjoyed our stay at Pebble Cottage. There were some lovely local restaurants, like the Crab & Lobster Inn. The house was cosy and the children loved the bunk bed!! Thanks guys

I can honestly say that this Airbnb is the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. Extremely tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable. We absolutely aim to be back to enjoy the private garden, the very comfy beds and great location. Andrew’s communication is excellent, and he was very helpful and accommodating with our check-in. Thank you so much.

Second time staying at this beautiful cottage. My wife, daughter and I absolutely love this place. The view is stunning, it feels like you are actually over the sea when you're inside. The location is great as it is a short walk along to Ventnor beachfront. David is a really nice guy and always responds really quickly to any questions. Couldn't recommend here any more. 10/10!

Jasmin was a very responsive communicator, as well as accommodating, helpful and friendly. The listing was all that we expected and we were thrilled with its view, how compact, lovely and clean it was. The proximity to the beach and shops/ restaurants was a fairly short walk which added to the ease of seeing things in the area. We would definitely choose to stay again if we went back.

My daughter and I just loved the cottage. The garden is immaculate and the cottage is comfortable and well stocked. We were particularly impressed with the attention to detail in the cottage from the furnishings to the night lights. Ian was a fantastic host. He was communicative and responsive throughout our stay. The cottage is also well situated, giving easy access to places of interest in the area.

Kari's Cottage exceeded our expectations. The location is perfect, right in the middle of Ventnor and no more than five minutes' walk anywhere in town. It's compact but charming and a little quirky, and everything you could need is here, from laundry facilities to USB cables and tea/coffee/cooking essentials (and a much appreciated box of welcome cookies!). There's a lovely little garden at the back that catches the sun, and communications with Anne were really easy and quick. Ventnor is a wonderful town, and we'd very happily stay at Kari's Cottage again.
