Old Vicarage Garden Apartment - Isle of Wight

Welcome to The Old Vicarage Garden Apartment, an exquisite residence set along the scenic cliff path of Shanklin Old Village. With breathtaking, uninterrupted views stretching across Shanklin Bay, through to Whitecliff, and over to Luccombe Chine, this stunning retreat is the perfect blend of grandeur and comfort.



After a day of exploring the Isle of Wight, kick back with a drink in hand as you watch boats glide along the coastline from your private garden, or challenge the family to a competitive game of Pool in the Family Games Room. Thoughtfully designed for families, this luxurious apartment offers a unique touch of fun—including a built-in slide from one of the beds in the triple room, ensuring endless excitement for younger guests.



Either side of the accommodation are hotels which have swimming pools which are open to the public (*subject to availability, charges may apply).



As the night draws in, you can meander along the cliff path or into Shanklin Old Village, where you can explore beautiful Chine, with its stunning waterfalls, or head for dinner in one of the popular thatched Pubs.



With its blend of history, elegance, and family-friendly charm, The Old Vicarage Garden Apartment promises an unforgettable stay by the sea.



LOCATION

Perched on the sun-kissed southeast coast of the Isle of Wight, Shanklin is a timeless seaside escape where golden sands meet clifftop charm. It’s a place where holiday memories are made—strolling along the beach, exploring secret garden paths, and lingering over cream teas in centuries-old tearooms.



At the heart of Shanklin lies the Old Village, a picture-perfect corner of the island brimming with historic thatched cottages, independent shops, and cosy restaurants. Just a short wander from your door, this enchanting area feels like stepping into a storybook. Enjoy a meal in one of the thatched pubs or sip a local ale as you overlook the sea at the famous beachside inn by Shanklin Chine, a magical gorge of cascading waterfalls and lush greenery lit up beautifully at night.



Beyond the village charm, Shanklin’s vibrant promenade offers traditional seaside fun—from arcades and beach cafés to family-friendly eateries and scenic walks along the coast. Whether you’re hunting fossils with the kids, soaking in a sunset over the bay, or catching a live show at the local theatre, there’s something here for everyone.



Thanks to its central location, the apartment offers easy access to the best of the island. Within minutes, you can reach Sandown’s Dinosaur Isle, tackle the treetop adventures at Sandham Gardens, or step back in time with a visit to Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s stunning seaside residence in East Cowes.



And don’t miss Godshill, one of the most charming villages in the UK, with its postcard-perfect cottages, model village, and local fudge shops—it’s a must-see.



Whether you're here to unwind, explore, or reconnect, Shanklin is your gateway to the beauty, history, and relaxed pace of island life.

A great base for two families to explore the Isle of Wight

The old vicarage was extremely spacious with lovely gardens - perfect for two families to spend time together. We especially enjoyed the lovely sea views from the veranda - a great place to relax with a glass of wine while the children played football or bounced on the trampoline. The apartment was also perfectly located - a short walk from the beach/minigolf and a range of good restaurants, and easy access to the various sights of the Isle of Wight. We visited a different place each day, with highlights including The Needles, Osborne House, and the model village at Godshill. The beds were also extremely comfortable!

Wonderful holiday, will definitely return.

The location of the Old Vicarage is perfect. You can walk down to the beautiful sandy beach, to the shops and restaurants on the high street and to the picturesque Shanklin old village. Set back from the road and hidden behind the majestic St Saviours church, the Old Vicarage is in a quite and peaceful location and has stunning seaviews. The accommodation is very spacious, we were two families and there was a lot of room for everyone to enjoy. Especially the really big garden with kids play area and huge trampoline. The Island Holiday Company was really helpful and responsive and provided a great service. We will definitely be going back to the Old Vicarage. It exceeded our expectations a fantastic location, a beautiful historic building, spacious accommodation and fabulous seaviews. Nothing, we had a great time and thought we got a lot of holiday for the price.

Dreamy stay at The Old Vicarage, Shanklin

The Old Vicarage garden apartment is just beautiful and has that wow factor the moment you arrive and open the door. We loved sitting on the veranda or in the conservatory with a cuppa or cocktail and looking out across the stunning gardens at the sea views of Shanklin and beyond. The apartment is huge and beautifully decorated throughout to retain its period grandeur with antique pieces of furniture, fixtures and fittings. The younger members of the family thoroughly enjoyed the trampoline and climbing area, the tree swing and the pool table. The house is a short walk to the beach which is perfect for families - great sand for castle building, gently shelving and clean waters. The dishwasher was unfortunately out of order, awaiting a part. These things happen but with 10 of us, it was a lot to wash up every meal. The holiday company were keen to rectify this though so I’m sure it’ll easily be sorted. The kitchen is missing a few additional things that are useful when cooking. Nothing major and I’m sure will quickly be sorted.
