We had a wonderful time here during our stay on the Isle of Wight - the BnB is ran by a lovely couple who catered a tasty fresh breakfast for us each morning. The beds are extrenely comfortable in peaceful rooms - would highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the island. Meeting their adorable rescue dog was a treat too!

We stayed in room 6 the small double and it wasn't as small as i imagined it would be. Very good size and everything was lovely. Hosts were nice and breakfast was well organised

Great stay, great hosts, great location, lovely breakfast !!!

The Richmond location is ideal for walking, buses and train station. The property is comfortable and has everything you require in the room. If i was being picky i would like to see less sugary items at breakfast and opt for plain greek yogurt, Weetabix, low sugar muesli as the options on offer are too sweet. Also less plastic flowers and plants which attract the dust but that is only my preference otherwise all good.

The Richmond was quiet and restful, which was what we were looking for. The room was large and airy, comfortably furnished with plenty of storage space. Breakfast was perfectly cooked with plenty of choice. The owners were friendly and helpful, keen that we enjoy our stay. We would be very happy to stay there again. We were sad that this lovely couple, working hard and doing a great job, have had to take abuse from unreasonable people who expect the service of a 5* hotel from B & B proprieters. Read the information before you book folks and leave vacancies at this lovely place for people who appreciate it.

A lovely bed and breakfast with very friendly hosts. Very clean and tidy with nice decor. The aduslts only policy is a bonus as it was very quiet.
The location is within walking distance of the beach, the bus and railway stations as well as the restuarants in the old town.

The Richmond is a wonderful b&b with faultless service through and through. The only slight niggles were the car parking which can be a little tricky to negotiate (but we did park on-site for our entire stay) and the size of the room, as we had the smaller double room. It was still big enough to accommodate both of us, but there was no storage space but we knew this in advance. Otherwise it was superb - Mark and Caz are wonderful, friendly and helpful, the breakfasts were lovely and it is in a great location for the centre of Shanklin, and only a few minutes walk from the old village. It is also by far the cleanest b&b we have ever stayed in. Faultless.

Shanklin: The Richmond Hotel Bed & Breakfast lovely well presented home
Home & life, Is exactly what it is in a family setting
In a family setting you have great comfort, food appears to come to you in a very clean and well catered for manner, service some what, wanting an opinion of customer satisfaction ummm, they would not go a miss from speaking to local butchers about produce, produce of clean food but no local values, wipe of marker pens for day out on their folder map, and more security of being a family orientated business on belongings, dust was another fault, I would advice a flat handled, flat cloth folding slide branch in which all services have for hard to reach places under beds, for anyone allergic, I would also add blinds, their security runs in line with Ariel braker in which controls viewing, In my opinion of my stay, they should also have ansilary bins in the bathroom and no over head dumb light over shower, especially when it is not a sealed unit, but other then that and shoe problems, I had a fantastic family stay at Shanklin

We were made to feel very welcome when we arrived and Mark explained everything we needed to know. The room was clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was superb every morning, eggs cooked to perfection. The breakfast room was clean and it was easy to chat to other guests and get to know them too. We thought parking may be an issue but were able to park on the premises every day and evening during our stay with no problems. We would definitely recommend this B & B and will hopefully stay there again in the future.

We were made very welcome. Because of the limit to space, cars needed to be parked in front of one another and keys left for the owner to move the car if necessary. We fully appreciate the need to do this and could see no alternative. Undoubtedly, the owner is a skilled driver and insured. However, it would have been nice not to have needed to do this. In no way did this take away from our enjoyment.

An amazing 4 days at the Richmond B&B. Mark Kaz were fantastic, really helpful and genuinely lovely people, if you want to see red squirrels they kmow the places to go. Food was really nice too. Good size room with all you could need (if there was one thing i would have liked was a small fridge in the room, there was plenty of space for one, but this is really being picky) overall a wonderful stay. Well done and thank you.

Very well situated in Shanklin close to all the shops, pubs and restaurants. A 5 minute walk to the beach. The room was very spacious with a sitting area with TV. Bathroom was clean but only has a electric shower with not much water pressure.The major downside was breakfast was only between 8.00- 8.30 and had to be ordered the night before. If Id known this I would not have booked as when on holiday I dont want to have to get up at 7.30 every morning for breakfast, we felt we had to fit in with the owners requirements.
