Little Haven Reviews

Great location. Plenty of stuff in walking distance and good base for rest of island. We loved the hot tub. Nice touch with xbox, board games and range of dvds.

Kathryn

We love staying here such a great location Shanklin town has great shops and the Esplanade is a short walk from the property. The house is spotless and has everything we need. We can't wait to come back!

Nicola

We had a lovely time, the house is really cozy and had everything that we needed. The hot tub was fantastic, we really enjoyed using it. The location was great too, close to everything we wanted to do. There were only two things that would need improving it would have been great if the grass had been cut as it was quite long during our stay. The bed in the main bedroom is awful, Id highly recommend replacing it. Overall we had a really lovely weeks stay!

Lovely property and lots of little extra touches to make it comfortable and h

A lovely apartment located a short distance from the beach and village. Perfect for a family with extra luxury bonuses including a hot tub, good sized garden for football etc. and also TV Xbox in the spare bedroom making a great children's space during our stay.

Lauradee

This was a really beautiful apartment a d the owner clearly has a flare for interior design as the decor and details were lovely throughout. The apartment was not short if anything, it had all you would need for your stay plus more! The outside space is fab, lots if room, lovely garden and decking area, lots of seating, we were blessed with weather so spent ot if time enjoying the outside space. The hot tub was a fab added bonus, and we used this most days we were here, big amd spacious with lighting for evenings under the stars, unfortunatley not all of the jets worked which was a shame but not enough of an issue to ruin our time, and I'm sure we could have called maintenance if needed and it would be fixable. Location wise, its fab, shops and eateries close by and old shanklin is stunning with lovely pubs. The esplanade is not fat to walk or there is plenty of park if you drove and its gorgeous down there. The apartment is a shared block, but has a private entrance and the garden area is very private and we didn't find privacy an issue. I have already reccomended to friends and would happily return to stay again.

Excellent accommodation, very pleasant and close to beach and town. Only thing that could have been improved was the bbq was very old and dirty so we were unable to use it. Also an umbrella would have been good as sun shines in the back garden after midday so no shade. Apart from that everything was very good.

Although the information does say that it is not suitable for those with mobility issues it might be worth stating that entry is via steps. This wasn't an issue but I can envisage a time when it might be especially when the description says the accommodation is all on the ground floor. Also a hair dryer would have been nice! A very enjoyable and comfortable stay.

Maureen

We had a brilliant weeks holiday here at Little Haven in May. The apartment has all the amenities we needed and much more. My daughter loved the tvxbox in the bedroom and enjoyed watching some of the dvd's available in the apartment during a movie afternoon when we had a really wet day. We had a few small issues but we contacted the owner who was amazing and it was all sorted within 24hrs. We have already booked to go back again next summer.

Kathryn

Our second stay at Little Haven and just as wonderful as the first. The house is a beautiful place to stay and is in such a great location. The hot tub is such a treat too!

Stephen

We were first greeted by steps littered with rubbish, then grass which had not been mowed for some time with long dandelions and daisies etc. some time into our stay received a text from the house manager asking if we were in a the gardener had forgotten his key. Grass was eventually mowed but we had to leave the gate unlocked. Under the settee cushions there was All sorts including food crumbs, The bathroom door handle was insecure and under rim of toilet was foul.

This accommodation was perfect for our stay. Everything was well thought about lots of added extras including basic foods, dvds and games. Close walk to the beach. The hot tub was fantastic and very clean. Can't fault it at all, we will use this accommodation again if and when we visit in the future.

Louise

Lovely apartment. Decorated to a high standard. And very close to shops. Beach and pubs. Very spacious for a family of 4. They left a lovely welcome pack. Hot tub was amazing and Maintaince person lovely he came at least twice in the week to check on it. Lots of board games and dvds to entertain on rainy days. My only feedback was cleaners arent great. Under sofa was missed. Fridge needed a clean and the Shower Edges need a bleach. Not enough right now to bother me because the whole place looks brand new. but over time And a hairdryer would be lovely and a broom. However we will be coming back. We had a great time here. One of my favourite apartments used so far in the island.

Oliver

Great place to say, super comfortable.

Kathryn

Great accomodation really good location, near to Shanklin shops and the beach. Flat was very welcoming and had everything we needed. The hot tub was a lovely treat. Our son loved the Xbox in the bedroom. Would recommend and will hopefully be back next year!

As all previous reviewers have commented the apartment is perfectly located within easy walking distance to both the Beach and the Town, tastefully furnished with modern appliances with manuals! and highspeed fibre broadband, which proved useful and reliable. Homely and well thought out a perfect base to explore the island and its many attractions and history. The Hot Tub proved very enjoyable and just a perfect way to winddown after returning from a long day at The Portsmouth Historic Dockyard on the mainland, only a 10 minute flight on the Hovercraft and a short Taxi ride to get to. Overall an excellent 2 weeks and we were sad to have to go home. Thank you both for making it feel personal.

Beautiful property with lots of little touches that make you feel at home. Bed was a little too soft for us but the long walks and sea air followed by hot tub to rest our weary bones helped us to sleep. Fabulous location close to both beach and Old Town. The owners included a lovely book to show you how to use equipment, local area and attractions worth visiting. We will definitely stay here again!

Geraldine

We had a lovely stay at Little Haven. It was a very clean, well equipped property and was very tastefully decorated. It was definitely a home from home. It is situated very close to the beach with the option to walk or use the public lift down to the esplande. We would walk down and get the lift back up. The parking space at the apartment was a bonus too. Little Haven had a large garden and hot tub which we used several times during our stay. Its great for family's, we had 2 teenage girls with us, who enjoyed the computerTV in their bedroom for playing games on and watching movies. We would love to return to Little Haven and see more. There is so much to see on the island. Thankyou to the owner for letting us stay in her holiday home and for replying so promptly when we had any questions.

We had a lovely time staying at Little haven, it was home from home with everything you would wish for and on your holiday and more. Very convenient for the bus route to explore the island. Loved the walk down to the Old village along the sea front and through Shanklin town.
