Guests say
7 The Priory in Shanklin is a beautifully located, well-equipped apartment with stunning sea views from the balcony and conservatory. Guests consistently praise its peaceful setting, homely feel, and suitability for families or couples. The property is clean and comfortable, with quality furnishings and thoughtful touches. While the lack of WiFi and some minor maintenance issues are noted, these do not detract from the overall positive experience. The uphill walk back to the apartment is mentioned but is outweighed by the wonderful views and tranquil atmosphere.
Most guests found the apartment very clean and well-presented, though one review mentioned an issue with the toilet and kitchen sink on arrival. Overall, cleanliness is a strong point, with only isolated concerns.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views, proximity to Shanklin village and the beach, and peaceful surroundings. The only minor drawback is the steep hill leading to the property.
Guests generally found the apartment comfortable, with quality beds and furnishings. Some mentioned the firmness of the main mattress and lack of blackout curtains as minor issues, but overall comfort is rated highly.
The apartment is well-equipped for self-catering, with positive mentions of kitchen appliances and living spaces. The main negatives are the lack of WiFi and occasional minor maintenance issues, such as a dripping tap or TV reception.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful gestures in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

A very clean, comfortable and very well equipped apartment. The pictures on the website are out of date. It has been very tastefully redecorated throughout and has some new furniture. I would recommend that it gets a new patio set. It only has a small bistro set with 2 chairs, but it's an apartment for 4 people, so you couldn't all sit out on the patio.It does have the advantage of a conservatory, so if the weather is bad outside you can sit in there and admire the views, which are lovely.We can thoroughly recommend this apartment.

We had a fantastic week staying in Shanklin.The apartment is better than it looks in the pictures. Very comfortable with all we needed.The only thing is no WiFi, but you could get a signal in the car park.Stunning views from the balcony.Would definitely stay there again in the future.
