Superb accommodation and location

The cottage was fantastic, very spacious and we loved the open plan lounge and kitchen. The patio area was also excellent. The bed was lovely and comfy and the views from the bedroom were great. The location is superb for walking into Shanklin. It would have been nice if there had been 2 trays rather than just one as we like to watch TV whilst having dinner! Also, a newer TV with Netflix etc would be good.

The apartment was very spacious, clean and comfortable and was well thought out. It has lovely views across Shanklin to the downs and you can see the sea too. It was nice to have milk, tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits when we arrived too. I would happily recommend it as a lovely place to stay

Mr & Mrs Thompson

We enjoyed a fantastic week over New Year's at the Good Ships. It's a superb location within Shanklin everything you could possibly need within a 15-20 minute walk5 minute drive. Including beaches, shops, restaurants, supermarkets, pubs, walks, a theatre, and best of all, for me, fossil hunting. The house is a good size with a lovely private garden that would really come into its own in summer. Exceptionally clean and well provisioned, we felt at home right from the off with a really thoughtful welcome pack. With off-road parking, it's a superb base to explore the island. Overall, very well recommended.

Mr H Jackman

We thoroughly loved our stay at the Good Ships. It is a lovely letting - we are determined to come back again another time! We were utterly delighted with the home, very comfortable, and would happily have stayed longer. We especially appreciated the pint of milk in the fridge waiting for us we'd left our shopping trip for after we arrived but of course we first needed a cup of tea before we could brave the shops. The home was really well kitted out and had clearly put a lot of thought into what was needed.
