It was a lovely place to stay. A Victorian villa which still has many original features, including beautiful stained glass windows. The room was clean and tidy and the hosts were most hospitable. There were some lovely touches, such as complimentary drinks and snacks. It was lovely to sit out on the front veranda with a coffee. The rear garden was well tended and the large swimming pool was fantastic. The only improvements i could suggest are a shower instead of the bath in Room 3 and a washing line in the garden to dry wet swimming kit, but these weren't issues. We had a warm welcome and the breakfasts were exceptional.

Very comfortable hotel and very friendly hosts. Our room was spacious and very clean with everything we needed. We could leave the car at the hotel and walk to the sea and restaurants.

Room 20 has a fabulous view of the Church and you can walk straight out onto the veranda to enjoy the morning sun 😎 Linda and Des went above and beyond to make us feel at home and welcome, giving lots of useful tips on Restaurants and places to visit 💞 The Hotel was spotlessly clean and the food was divine, highly recommend and can’t wait to return 😎

Had an amazing stay! Des and Linda are so nice and welcoming. Breakfast is unreal, loved everything we had on the menu! The location of the hotel to everything is perfect, it’s situated within walking distance of the beach front and old town. Would definitely recommend!!

Excellent all round. Linda & Des couldn't have made us feel more welcome. Breakfasts surpassed our expectations. Little extras in the room a lovely touch. All very clean, plenty of storage space and really comfortable bed. We were sorry to leave after our four night stay but we have booked for 2020!

First impression on arrival was that the property was in need of a tidy up and sprucing up. Broken step on one side was under repair with a cone placed on it. Inside was dark and unwelcoming. Initially no one at reception but owner came downstairs having just seen guests to room.

Excellent service. Excellent Room. Excellent breakfast - what more can you say !!

We enjoyed our stay- the hotel was clean and the owners were very pleasant. We booked on the understanding from advertising that it was a hotel and restaurant but were disappointed to be told on arrival that the restaurant was not viable and no longer operated. The breakfast was very good - no complaint about that - but whereas we were expecting leisurely evenings in having a nice meal and a drink we were obliged to drive out to find somewhere to eat! The hotel is still referred to as “ hotel and restaurant “ in leaflets in the reception area and on other advertising.

Lovely hosts, excellent choice of breakfasts and evening meals available by prior notice. Hotel situated close to Shanklin Old town, Shanklin Chine and beach. Lovely beachside or cliff top walks to Lake and Sandown. Great base from which to explore the island. Room was exactly as shown on website. The owners Des and Linda really made us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble we felt ‘at home’ from the moment we arrived.

Very nice old Victorian hotel lovingly maintained by the current owners. Big comfortable rooms. Good breakfast. Close to beach and town.
