Great stay in Shanklin

Had a great couple of nights here. Met at reception by the owner who was very friendly and very helpful. Showed us to our room which was a good size and spotlessly clean. Hotel is ideally situated in Shanklin Very close to the sights, beach and close to 2 bus stops so there was no need to use our car. Would definitely stay there again if going over to the island.

We had a lovely warm greeting from John on our arrival. Our room was well equipped and clean. The bed was soft and comfortable. Our stay was very pleasant, relaxing and peaceful. It is a short walk into Shanklin village. With plenty of options to eat in the evening. Breakfast was good with a good selection of options. John and Ann are great hosts.

An enjoyable two night stay. The twin room was basic but clean and quiet. The public areas of the hotel were very nice and the hosts especially friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were good value for £10 and in the evening a short walk into Shanklin offered plenty of dining options.
