Fantastic. This B&B is exceptionally good for families with children. The hosts are kind. The property is quiet and meticulously cared for. There is a games room and a big selection of toys and games. There are good breakfast options for children. We have never been to a B&B in the UK that was as welcoming to families with children as the Royson.

Just returned from a lovely stay at the Royson. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners and loved all the nice little touches that has been thought off throughout. The room was tastefully decorated and breakfast delicious, with attentive service and nothing too much trouble. The location was ideal for us, right in between Shanklin and Sandown, a 20 mins or so stroll into the Old Village along the coastal path with beautiful views (highly recommend a pit-stop at The Hideaway bar and restaurant just 5 mins walk away from the B and B), and also good access via the nearby steps down to the beachfront.

Very friendly and informative owners. Great location - easy walk to Sandown and Shanklin. Good breakfast with lots of choice. It was nice to have a lounge area with refreshments. Shower temperature was very inconsistent and never got hot enough. Sound travels from other guest rooms. Room was small to manoeuvre around. Overall good value though.

Response from Nigel Hunt owner on 16 May 2018
Thank you for your review! we do state that we are not in the centre of Shanklin and are rated highly for our quietness away from the hustle and bustle, saying that it is but a 20 min walk to town..We are so glad we managed to facilitate your early check in time! Our lovely little beach is down two slopes and a few steps, though you can choose to use the lift further along the cliff path, though there is a charge. we have a small seating area and conservatory for guests to sit in, most are out and about and are used for short periods to plan there day or recoup after a busy one, unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding with your friend, you were waiting around the entire morning in our sunny conservatory, we did offer refreshments as you waited and chatted with you to while away the time! We do hope after such a long trip away you are now resting well at home!

great find
two of us stayed here in January for 4 nights while working at a local garage. Lovely and quiet road as a dead end 1 min walk to costal path while it was 1 mile going left down to find a place to eat and 1.5 miles the other way it was out of season the area was clean and beautiful .the owners were very friendly and happy to accommodate breakfast requests even doing my poached eggs not in vinegar water which normally gets refused else were. The breakfast was good and plentiful. lovely and warm hotel to . I would happily stay again with work or my finance.
