Excellent location with lovely well equipped apartments which are stylish and also beautifully maintained and with additional ample outside space laid as garden and patio. The proprietor was very welcoming and left a much appreciated welcome pack. We would highly recommend.

A large and really beautiful newly refurbed room

A large and really beautiful newly refurbed room with larger than usual bathroom and ever helpful host. Very tastefully done with great beds and pillows. Short walk to coast and Hideaway cafe on the cliffs.”

Thank you so, so much again for having us over the weekend.

Me and my partner have just returned from a fabulous stay at Clarence House. The owner Ros is an amazing host, she was extremely hospitable and welcoming. The house is just stunning and the place really feels like home. We are already planning to return in the next few months for a longer stay. We would highly recommend Clarence house for anyone who wants to get away for some peace and quiet. Thank you so, so much again for having us over the weekend. We can`t wait to come back again for another relaxing stay

I would definitely return!

The room (Beatrice) was beautiful and spacious, really bright and sunny, with a comfortable bathroom and with a great view. Rosamund greeted us on arrival and let us know how to get about town. The location was great, close both to the Old Village and restaurants/pubs (10 minutes) as well as the beach (less than 10). The breakfast was conveniently laid out by the bed on the day of our arrival. I would definitely return!

A wonderful gem of a property, the perfect base for our holiday!

We enjoyed a fantastic week staying here during May half-term. I am already planning our return visit next year. We are so pleased we have found Clarence House and we will definitely make it our number on accommodation choice for our future holidays on thr Isle of Wight. We stayed in the Victoria apartment which is gorgeous. It has everything you need for a relaxing time, beds are extremely comfortable with bath and shower. The doors from the living room open up onto a patio with table and chairs so you can eat outside and there is a lovely garden that overlooks the countryside; it was wonderful waking up to each morning. The kitchen has a large fridge/freezer, microvave, oven, toaster, kettle and dishwasher (hooray!). There are a selection of dvd and board games you can use. Lots of free parking available on the street outside the house. The apartment is very close to the quaint shops and delicious restaurants/pubs of Shanklin, which is also home to the Chine and a great beach and esplanade with crazy golf, amusements and a onderful ice cream cafe which we visited far too many times! All the delights of the island are accessible by train, car or bus from Shanklin, Rosamund is such a friendly host and kindly provided a high chair and travel cot for our youngest child.She really wants her guests to have a great holiday and provides a welcome pack with bread, tea, milk, coffee,cake etc so when you arrive you immediately feel at home. If you book Clarence House you ill be so happy that you did!

Very clean light and airy apartment

Stayed here in May, so nice we are going back in September! Very clean light and airy apartment. Rosamund is a charming host and couldn't be more helpful. Bus stops and station close by and only a short walk to Shanklin town centre

About Me

Hi - my name is Rosamund (or Ros) and I am new to the island - but not to hosting. We have been hosting holiday apartments for over 10 years in London, until we visited the Isle of Wight recently, fell in love and a new venture was born! Clarence House was the second house viewed, after which no more houses were necessary....it was featured on the BBC's Escape to the Country as a dream home on the Isle of Wight and we feel so privileged to be its new owners. As seasoned travellers we understand the importance of arriving to a spotless apartment, fresh crisp sheets and a hot shower, not to mention reliable wifi. Rosamund tried out the apartments as a paying guest first, to see how her potential guests would feel waking up in them.

The beautiful Isle of Wight and Shanklin

Our location is perfect for the outdoor lover, brilliant cycling and running routes, with spectacular coastal walks for ramblers or casual strolls. Visit Shanklin Chine and the beautiful Old Shanklin village including their fantastic safe and sandy beaches.
There are fascinating independent coffee shops, antique and curio places to explore, the independent Shanklin theatre and many nearby villages to explore each with their own character. Easy access to quirky Ventnor, the Needles, Cowes, Blankgang Chine and the island's capital Newport.


Shanklin station is only 4 minutes walk away from Clarence House and has fantastic connections to Portsmouth, Waterloo and Victoria. Visiting the island without a car is quicker and there are numerous buses across the island, while Shanklin is a seaside town you can walk around
