Clean & well-prepared apartment ; good location ; quiet & peaceful feel to the accommodation ; cosy ; host supportive, flexible, friendly ; very good base for a good stay on IoW

A kettle would have been handy, though boiling water on stove was ok ; one or two kitchen utensils needed fixing ; no washing machine, having understood from pre-stay info that there would be one

Clarence House is on a quiet road a short walk away from the cliff path and the station in Shanklin. It is not really a bed and breakfast establishment or entirely self-catering. Our Beatrice Junior Suite had a fridge and we were provided with tea, coffee, milk, fruit juice, biscuits and generous quantities of fruit. Bowls were provided so we could eat cereal in the room which had a table and chairs. It also had a comfy seating area. There was a modern shower room with nice toiletries. Our hostess was unable to meet us due to personal circumstances but had arranged for someone to be available and maintained good communication with us throughout our stay. An easy stroll to eating places (but book in advance.)

The room has two beds, a large king size and smaller double. If you want to share the king size, one of you will have to be able to clamber in as it is against the wall. No cooking facilities (other than kettle & coffee maker) but a sink and hob are in the process of being fitted in the room. A tea towel would be useful. Not always easy to find a parking spot close by but we managed reasonably well.

Lovely holiday let, perfect for our needs. We particularly enjoyed the use of the garden. Location was good. Although we had to park on the road, there was always a space even though we visited in peak holiday season (August). Would definitely return. Very good value for money. Thank you to Rosamund and Roger for their lovely welcome and thoughtfulness throughout our stay.

A very warm and friendly welcome, lovely clean room. Unfortunately I wasnt able to spend as much time in it due to work but I'm booking again for next year if thats sufficient reccomendation :) .

Parking can be a bit hit and miss - but thats to be expected and I was always able to find a spot fairly close by.

Lokalizacja super.

The staff is very nosy and rude. The bathroom door does not close from the outside. The curtain rod in the living room falls on your head when you draw the curtains. There are woodslices everywhere. The facility is not child-friendly.The owner of the house entered the house without my permission when I was not at home.

Fantastic location. Walking distance to many great places to eat, the beach, stores, and attractions. Comfortable room has what you need for a pleasant stay.

Motion sensor light was a problem not a help. I'd prefer a light weight alternative to the heavy bed cover.

Love the style of the property. Big airy studio room. Cool in the hot weather. Comfortable beds and sofa. Large well equipped bathroom, with two types of shower fitments as well as bath. Easy street parking. Close to Shanklin high street, and beach. Value for money.

Great location, around 15-min walking distance to the Shanklin beach, approximately 20-min walking distance to the Shanklin high street, up to 45-min driving distance to any attractions in the IOW. Shanklin is a lovely and peaceful village with many good restaurants, which provide tasty Indian, Thai, Italian and British classical pub food. You can find Chinese take away and Dominos as well in high street. The Clarence House is a lovely and cosy victorian house. There are free off-street parking outside of the house and in the surrounding area. The Beatrice suite we stayed is bright and spacious. Guests are allowed to use the lovely piano room downstairs for dinning.

Breakfast is simple, including a pastry, a bottle of orange juice, and a fruit for one person. Of course you can make coffee at your own room. I am fine with the simple breakfast. But if you expect a hot and rich one, I would advise you having breakfast somewhere else in stead of booking it with the room. We are running out of toilet rolls (2 rolls as a starter pack) on the 4th day of our staying. Unfortunately the extra rolls were not provided and we had to purchase some ourselves.

Immeculate maintained property. The room itself was tastefully decorated and super clean. The kitchnette with dishwasher made such a difference as we made some breakfast in the studio. The owners invested in quality beds so you're guaranteed a good night sleep. We came by ferry and train and you really don't need a car on the island. The property iself is 10 min from Shanklin rail station. It's a convienent place to rover the island by public transport (The Coastal Breezer that takes you to the Needles and back stops 5 minutes from the property). The owners checked in with us multiple times during out stay. Unusual but very much appreciated. There are also some small touches such as milk in the fridge, coffee pods for the Nespresso and a communal table with leaflets and tips for things to do. The owners know how to make you feel welcome.

Shower was perfect, it probably needs a small refresh soon but it did not detract from our overall hapiness at this property. I would come back to this studio next time I'm on the island.

Lovely location very nice views.Rosamund was very welcoming and coudnt do enough for us.We had a great stay and would thoroughly recommend Clarence House.The apartment was lovely and spacious.

Nothing really everything was spot on and good value.
