The Shingles

About this property

The Shingles is a two-bedroom property situated in the seaside resort of Sandown, Isle of Wight. Enjoying an excellent location, close to amenities and the beach, this traditional abode welcomes families for a stay on the Isle of Wight. After a day of exploring, look forward to putting your feet up in the living/dining, complete with a TV, perfect for a cosy movie night, and here there is also an additional dining space. Move into the kitchen/diner, where you can chat and dine together over a home-cooked meal. As the night grows darker, choose between the double bedroom, featuring a TV, and the twin bedroom, both decorated in a neutral style. When you’re ready to explore further, step out into the garden, where you can appreciate the fresh sea air and make the most of the sunshine by dining alfresco at the patio space, or enjoying a picnic on the lawn. The seaside town of Southdown, just steps away from the house, offers something for everyone, from the stunning beach, ideal for a leisurely stroll or a day of sandcastle building, to the vibrant town centre, complete with a variety of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants. Further afield, take a visit to Shanklin, just a short drive away, where you can explore the Old Village with its delightful thatched cottages, or venture to Ryde, where you can take a ride on the oldest surviving pier in Britain and capture a picture of the iconic buses at the Bus and Coach Museum. Alternatively, head to Newport and pick up some goodies in the shopping centre, enjoy riverside walks, or visit the thriving arts centre and multiplex cinema, museums, and parks. A stay at The Shingles is the perfect way to explore the hidden gems of the Isle of Wight.

Situated on the south east coast of the island, this lovely town has something for everyone! It is home to the longest stretch of beach on the island, extending six miles from the chalk headland of Culver Cliff in the north, to Dunnose Head in the south. This glorious expanse of sand provides excellent bathing, and facilities for all kinds of watersports. Blackgang Chine is perfect for the young and young at heart, with attractions such as the Hall of Funny Mirrors, Giant Hedge Maze and a 100m fast boat slide. The Shanklin Chine is also well worth a visit, with its dramatic waterfalls and deeply shaded paths. Boasting lovely coastal walks and spectacular scenery, Sandown is known as one of the sunniest places on the South coast, making it a perfect holiday destination for all.
