September 2024We had a wonderful holiday away as 2 couples, a 2 year old and a baby. This place is far bigger than the photos make it look so perfect for all of the things we had to being for children, plus we didn't feel on top of each other as 2 families. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment such as dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine, etc. The living area is very spacious, the beds very comfy, and there's a travel cot and 2 highchairs. The hosts were very helpful and came out to us on the first night to help with the stair gate. It was quick and easy to communicate with them. Shanklin is a lovely town and you can walk to the beachfront from the house, though it is steep hill and you may consider driving to a beachfront car park. The garden is completely enclosed which is great for children. There is a parking space for the house, but street parking was sometimes a bit tricky for the other car, however we did always find a space somewhere. We will likely come back again, thank you!

August 2024Lovely spacious house, kitchen was fully equipped and even had cooking oil, and spices. Beds and sofa were big and comfortable. Garden was big and relaxing, lots of outdoor toys and equipped with buckets and spades etc. a short walk to Shanklin beach which was a lovely beach with amusements, rides and restaurants. Lots to do in the Isle of Wight! Would love to come back one day.
Leanne
August 2024A beautiful well appointed home. Plenty of space and has everything you need for a great stay in Shanklin and to explore the Isle of Wight. Close to a cliff path that leads to cafes and the beach but very steep hills so wear your trainers. The home has one allocated parking space but free on street parking also. Although near a main road and bus stop it is a quiet area. Main noise at night was from seagulls
Jackie
May 2024We all loved our stay. The photos do not do the house justice there was so much space and light. The coastal walk at the end of the road was beautiful and we were in easy reach of everything we wanted to visit on the island with a bus stop outside on the main road if needed. We really appreciated the lovely spacious garden and the seating provided. We would definitely return. Thank you!
Matt
May 2024Our stay at the Old School Mews was delightful! From the moment we stepped inside, we were impressed by the spaciousness and thoughtful amenities provided. The property seemed to anticipate our every need, making it especially accommodating for families with young children. We were blessed with fantastic weather which allowed us to fully enjoy the outdoor space. The BBQ was put to good use, and we relished in the opportunity to dine alfresco in the lovely sized garden. It's also really well situated. A short, scenic walk took us to the beach and nearby attractions, making it convenient to explore the area without hassle. We would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway.
Jemima
May 2024Stunning house, absolutely huge and the garden was such a hit with our toddler and dog. Lots of toys, garden games and things to do at the house. Beautiful big open plan space - perfect for big family getaways. Beautiful rooms with en-suites which was helpful with a house full! So well equipped with more than you could ever want in a holiday home.
Nikki
April 2024Second time staying in School Mews - loved it just as much this time !! Such a great space, has everything you need and more. We went exploring a lot and it was always lovely to get 'home' - kick the shoes off, pour the wine and get the nibbles out in front of a great film. With crazy busy lives, fantastic just to kick back and relax in this gorgeous house!
Nicola
April 2024We had a wonderful weeks stay here the place was perfect for the 6 of us. Lots of space and the kicthen/dining area is even bigger than the photos suggest as was the living room with plenty of space for us all to sit comfortably. Kicthen had so many utensils pots and pans plates bowls basically everything you could need for a holiday stay. The place was clean and tidy and a lovely touch was the selection of games as well. The rooms were spacious we loved the high ceilings and beds were comfortable. Perfect location and parking was mot struggle for the extra car either. We would recommend and would book again. Thanks so much for making our stay in IOW perfect!

Beate
March 2024Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Küchenausstattung war ausgezeichnet. Geschirr war in großer Menge vorhanden. Der Kühlschrank war groß und in der gleichen Größe gab es einen Gefrierschrank. Die Schlafräume waren sehr großzügig . Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und konnten uns auch bei schlechterem Wetter gut beschäftigen.
Andrew
February 2024Great place to stay It really is a much bigger house than it looks in the picture. Had a couple of very minor problems which were sorted very quickly. Great location and fantastic walks along the cliffs and down into Shanklin. A fantastic comfortable place to explore the island from with lots to do on your doorstep. A great place to explore the island from with lots on your doorstep
Jo
February 2024Gorgeous base for a weekend exploring the Isle of Wight. Just a short walk from the beach, and all the local amenities you could need. The best stocked kitchen in any Airbnb we have ever stayed in!
Tom
February 2024Really lovely place. The kitchen/dining area is brilliant, really big and spacious, and lots of amenities. The pictures don't do it justice, much larger than it looks. Highly recommend.

November 2023An amazing house to stay with family and dog. The bedrooms where amazing so was the kitchen and the living room.
Anna
November 2023Wonderful house, large kitchen diner and spacious lounge, great for a holiday with extended family. Great location, the coastal path is just at the end of the road. A lovely place for a relaxing break, everything thought about and well equipped.
Karen
October 2023Fantastic house, really spacious and everything you could possibly need. Great communication too!
Charlotte
September 2023We wanted a family sized home for our long weekend to the IOW and this place was perfect. The home is gorgeous from the outside and very spacious inside - with a generous sized garden which we enjoyed in the sunshine and into the late evening as it stayed so warm! It was the perfect setting for a BBQ and the table and chairs outside was enough space for us all Check in was clear and easy and the amount of useful kitchen pots, pans, dishwasher tablets, salt, pepper etc all made it super easy for the stay too. The bedrooms were all a great size with clean towels out for us all and the TV was perfect for us with kids too with Netflix etc all on there. Parking was easy with one space on the drive and ample parking in the road too for multiple vehicles with no trouble. The location was great for a quick walk to get a sea view and very central for easy access for where we were looking to go to. We had a great stay and would definitely stay again; thank you so much!
Kelly
September 2023A lovely place fully equipped kitchen with lots of extras . Few games for kids nice big open spaces . Lovely garden for entertaining and a great location . Would come back again .
Mark
August 2023This is a wonderful house easily holding our party of six plus the dog. It has everything you need for sunny days and rainy days. The kitchen is well equipped and a pleasure to cook in. Good location for easy access to the rest of the island by car.
Helen
June 2023We had a fab stay at the Old School Mews. What a beautiful building, excellent conversion from a school. More than enough space for 6 people to sleep, cook, eat, and lounge. The garden was well loved by my daughter and her dog. Shanklin is a great base to see the island. It is an easy walk into Shanklin town centre or a lovely walk along the coastal path to the beach. We were happy to have had the opportunity to stay here, we would definitely stay again but may not be able to due to the rise in costs for next year :(
Mohit
May 2023A great location loved the BnB. The Swysh team was awesome and very responsive. Special thanks to Suzanne.
Louis
April 2023Lovely spacious, bright and clean house. Lots of kitchen utilities for cooking. Garden nice size. Very comfortable living room. Would happily stay again.
Kristina
April 2023A wonderful house that felt like a home from home. This house had everything we needed, a beautiful spacious home and garden within a very easy walk of beautiful views and the lovely beach at Shanklin.. The hideaway is a must for lunch or dinner - great food, amazing views and lovely hosts too! Thankyou so much for letting us stay!
Louise
April 2023Lovely house in an excellent location.
Nikki
March 2023Had a fabulous stay! Booked as a weekender to get together with friends to walk, sightsee, eat, drink and most important of all: relax and catch up in a beautiful house. The house was exactly as described- spacious, spotlessly clean. our bedrooms were en suite with a great additional bathroom and downstairs loo. All of the equipment that you could possibly need is supplied- the only exception to this: we couldn't find a bread knife! Pretty sure that it was there, we just couldn't find it
Debbie
March 2023We had an amazing stay and the house was even better than expected. It was so convenient for walking the coastal path and nipping out in the car. We were 6 adults and we had plenty of space and each couple had their own bathroom. The hosts were so helpful, booking our ferry and being on call to advise our panicky husbands when we couldn’t find the rugby on the TV! It was perfect and we’d stay again in a heartbeat.
Ben
February 2023Lovely accommodation and perfectly placed to visit the rest of the island. Could do with another off road parking spot (there is only 1 spot) but we had no issue finding on-road parking close to the house. In-house welcome pack mentioned Sonos amp hooked up to speakers in the ceiling, but this was all disconnected with no way of hooking it up, but that was the only issue!
Scott
November 2022The photos of this place don't do it justice! The kitchen/dining room and lounge are both enormous but also have a very homely feel. The bedrooms were all a great size with comfortable beds and plenty of room for clothes storage. Two of the bedrooms are en suite and there is also a further bathroom and a downstairs toilet. There is a large garden which our two dogs loved! The house is a two minute walk from the coastal path and a ten minute walk from the esplanade where you can easily get onto the beach. Some great restaurants nearby, especially The Hideaway which is on the coastal path, and a must-visit place! Overall, we could not fault this property and we look forward to going back as soon as possible!
Amy

Nicholas
September 2022We had a great stay at the Old School Mews, the property is in a perfect location near to the coastal path and bus routes. There was plenty of space for our family (and dogs), excellent facilities and very comfortable beds. Easy check in process and quick communication from the hosts.
Carole
September 2022We had a fabulous family holiday here, spotlessly clean. Well appointed and very spacious. Location was great. Communication was very good.
Sarah
September 2022We had a very enjoyable stay. The house is lovely - spacious, good sized garden (great for our two dogs), very comfortable and well equipped. Check in and check out was simple. There is a coastal path a minutes walk from the house, left goes to Sandown and right goes to Shanklin. Just perfect. Please note the house is on the corner of a busy road but it didn’t bother us at all.
Keith
July 2022We had a lovely stay in this property located at Shanklin. Very spacious, and easily accommodating 3 couples in comfort. Well located to get to all parts of the island. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Sarah
April 2022A beautiful and well. appointed property. We had lovely weather and it was great to have the option to dine outside. We enjoyed the the cliff top path ( a few minutes away at the bottom of the road) to walk into Shanklin beach in about 10 minutes. Would love to come back
