Stayed Sep 4, 2025We had a wonderful stay at 1 Apse Castle Cottage — a beautiful, character-filled retreat nestled in peaceful woodland. The cottage is spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and full of charm, with a cozy log burner, luxurious bathroom, and a well-equipped kitchen. Beds were super comfy, and everything felt welcoming and homely. The location is ideal for exploring Shanklin and the wider Isle of Wight. We especially appreciated how dog-friendly it was — our pup loved it! Truly a magical place. We’d happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing break.

Stayed Jan 1, 1900The location is about a mile walk (3 minutes in a car) from the lovely village of Shanklin. The cottage was very well presented, décor was lovely and had all the facilities anyone can need. We stayed with our 2 lovely small dogs, the outside was perfect for them as the garden was fenced in. The location was perfect, woods across the road, the cottage sits on a quiet road, I didn't hear any traffic once inside. The whole cottage was very clean, and had a lovely downstairs bathroom. The beds were very comfortable, I only wish I was still there!

Stayed May 19, 2025Great location if you want somewhere quiet away from the crowds. That said it is within a short drive of Ventnor, Shanklin, Godshill and Sandown. The outside space of the cottage is limited to a courtyard at the side of the property. If you have a big car you might find the driveway a little on the short side - that said we did manage to fit two cars side by side ( a Niro and a Panda). We did have to move the rubbish bins off the drive to do that! If you need to rely on the internet while you’re away this probably isn’t the right location for you.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969The location was pleasantly rural, but conveniently very close to roads which connected to everywhere on the island. The cottage itself was pretty and quaint and there were nice decorative touches to make it feel homely inside. The kitchen was well equipped the bathrooms were furnished with good quality suites and were very clean. The bedrooms were good with rustic features. Communication before the holiday was efficient and helpful. Outside, the fence could be moved to create more space for 2 cars. Outside space could be improved generally, and a great deal of water was constantly flowing across the yard which was not mentioned in the details. Blinds instead of curtains in the lounge: when we arrived, one curtain was held up by clothes pegs! Plus a blind would be appreciated in the downstairs bathroom. Hooks on back of bathroom doors would be useful.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969Nice and quiet cottage lovely bedroom with good beds. Well equipped kitchen. - It's difficult to go for a walk directly from the cottage the road in front of the cottage is dangerous (especially with a dog) and the nearest footpath is at a few hundred yards from the cottage. - We did nog manage to get enough hot water for using the bath.
