Description
1 Apse Castle Cottages – Pet-Friendly 300-Year-Old Stone Cottage in Shanklin, Isle of Wight
The Island Holiday Company is delighted to present 1 Apse Castle Cottages, a truly enchanting 300-year-old semi-detached stone cottage located on the outskirts of Shanklin, one of the Isle of Wight’s most loved seaside towns. With its storybook exterior, original beams, and peaceful countryside setting, this character-filled Isle of Wight holiday cottage perfectly combines rustic charm with modern comfort — and welcomes up to three dogs to join your stay.
About the Property
Step inside to discover a beautifully warm and welcoming cottage, complete with a brand-new central heating system installed in December 2025. Rich in history and character, the interior showcases exposed wooden floors, original beams, and a striking inglenook fireplace with an ornamental log burner. It still creates a wonderfully atmospheric focal point — the perfect backdrop for relaxing after a day of exploring. Kick off your shoes and unwind in a true home-from-home that blends modern comfort with centuries of charm.
The country-style kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for preparing home-cooked meals, with a dining area conveniently positioned beside the cooking space — ideal for family dinners or relaxed breakfasts before heading out. The family bathroom is also on the ground floor and includes a freestanding roll-top bath, offering a luxurious spot to soak and rejuvenate.
Upstairs are three beautifully decorated bedrooms — a double, a twin, and a single — all featuring calming tones, soft furnishings, and thoughtful details. All bedrooms have access to a modern shower room, making the space perfect for families or groups of friends.
Outside, the courtyard garden is a sunny and secluded space — ideal for morning coffee, evening drinks, or letting the dogs stretch their legs. With two off-road parking spaces right in front of the property, unloading luggage (and dogs!) is easy and convenient.
Full of character, comfort, and charm, 1 Apse Castle Cottages offers the perfect pet-friendly Isle of Wight escape — a peaceful countryside retreat within easy reach of Shanklin’s sandy beaches, quaint village, and local attractions.

The Island Holiday Company is delighted to showcase this beautifully presented and perfectly positioned cosy 16th-century stone built cottage. 2 Apse Castle Cottages is on the outskirts of the seaside town of Shanklin.
Tucked away on the outskirts of Shanklin and surrounded by ancient woodland, this enchanting 300-year-old stone cottage is brimming with character and history. With its exposed wooden floors, original beams, and a magnificent inglenook fireplace housing a cosy log burner, it’s the perfect retreat for peace, comfort, and relaxation.
Step inside and you’ll instantly feel the charm of times gone by — yet thoughtful modern touches ensure every convenience for today’s guests. The welcoming country-style kitchen, complete with everything you need to prepare hearty home-cooked meals, opens into a dining area ideal for sharing food and conversation with family and friends.
The town, beaches and Shanklin Old Village are only a short drive away. The property is dog friendly and surrounded by ancient woodland with plenty of nature walks in every direction.
The cottage can comfortably accommodate up to 5 guests and has been recently renovated and stylishly furnished by the owners.
Upon entering the property through the bright and airy sunroom, guests are welcomed into a charming additional seating area thoughtfully designed to blur the line between indoors and out. This serene space features a stunning living wall, offering a tranquil, nature-inspired ambiance.
The sunroom also provides a unique dining area and cozy seating, making it the perfect spot to unwind before stepping through the internal stable door into the cottage’s modern kitchen.
Also located on the ground floor is the stylish family bathroom, complete with a bath, toilet, wash basin, and a heated towel rail. The comfortable lounge invites relaxation, featuring a log burner for cozy evenings and a Smart TV for entertainment.
From the lounge, stairs lead up to three tastefully decorated bedrooms—one double, one twin, and one single—all sharing access to an upstairs cloakroom.

We 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.

The 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!

The 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 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. |

Beautiful, cosy cottage with a lovely fire. Nicely decorated and very clean and comfortable. We had everything that we needed for a relaxing family break. The letting agents were very friendly and helpful. Great communications.
