Accommodation
Description
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 loved our week at Briar Bank, complete with two kids (aged 9 & 6) and a dog. The house was comfortable, clean and well-equipped with huge rooms and new furniture. It was well-situated, minutes from useful shops - Co-Op, butcher, bakery, etc. all selling local produce - and with easy access to the old village and beach. The nearest steps down to the beach next to the lift were closed but it wasn't very far to walk around by Shanklin Chine. Loads to do down on the beach - Shanklin Chine worth a daytime and evening visit and the kids loved the crazy golf, Jurassic Jim's, fish & chips and ice-cream! The parking was no problem once we got the hang of it (pro tip if you have a large car: reverse in on the diagonal!) and we weren't disturbed by road noise. The kitchen was really well-equipped and we ate in on several evenings.

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
