Get away with good friends

We had a lovely time, one thing I will mention is that in the bedroom with the en-suite the bed is a small double - not ideal.

Fabulous Apartment

From our first impression as we pulled up outside, to the time we left, there was nothing to criticise. The apartment was beautifully clean and well maintained, fully equipped with everything you might need and the balcony was the icing on the cake. We would definitely recommend.

A great apartment

Cedar apartment at Dove Court is a very well equipped & comfortable holiday let. We are a couple but the apartment had everything to cater for 4 adult guests. Shanklin is a lovely place to stay - provided you are mobile - as it is quite hilly wherever you go. The apartment is about equidistant from the seafront & the old village & is situated in a quiet location. There are many places to visit & enjoy across the island. Highly recommended.

Tolle Wohnung in angenehmer Wohnlage

Als eine der ersten Mieter haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt in der brandneu eingerichteten Wohnung. Wir haben viel die Wohnküche genutzt ( Kleine Abstriche: Nur die Silberplatte hinter dem Herd hatte schon einige Reinigungsspuren. Insgesamt hätten wir uns noch etwas mehr Geschirr gewünscht: Große Schüsseln, Eierbecher). Genial war die lange Balkon, den wir allerdings auch gegen Möwen verteidigen mussten) Strand und Stadt sind fußläufig angenehm bequem in 10 Minuten zu erreichen. Wichtig für unsere Tochter (17) war der Wlan-Anschluss. Wir behalten die Wohnung in bester Erinnerung.
