「The shower wasn’t working no pressure because it is a very old building they said so they couldn’t help or give us another room. Very dusty lots of cobwebs. However staff was so lovely beds were so comfortable and excellent location :))」
「Breakfast was lovely and staff helpful and kind. Swimming pools lovely, nice game room for the kids, grounds are beautiful. View is amazing but location of our room wasn’t the best, we were at the back of the hotel and our room looked out at fire escape, smoking area for staff and bottom floor room which had an outside area, the people smoked and staff late at night and early morning so as it was warm the windows were open and the. Room stunk of smoke, myself and daughter being asthmatic it...
「We had a wonderful stay at No. 29. Our host, Chris, was very welcoming and thoughtful. We loved the personal touches, from the delicious homemade lemon drizzle cake waiting for us on arrival to the cafetière coffee provided in our room. Our room was peaceful, quiet, and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was a highlight, perfectly cooked with a wide selection, including even more homemade cake and the best homemade bread I’ve ever tasted! Chris is a lovely, friendly host, and we highly recommend...
「It's ok if you just want a bed for the evening. Very tired throughout and needs a full refurb desperately. The reception was sketchy at best and often unmanned.
Don't bother with breakfast. It's not good
That being said, the bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean.
Shanklin itself is also run down. We used the hotel as a base for the scooter rally, so didn't spend much time there, although we did like The Falcon pub. A proper local boozer.
If you only need to get to Ryde, if...
「It was clean and fully equipped for family self-service stay. Thank you.
It would be nice to have an ensuite master bedroom (perhaps not applicable to this property now, but I will look out for one next time). Also, we would have preferred a lock on the master bedroom door. Otherwise, spot on!」
「Location was perfect. 5 minute walk to beach and old Shanklin. lovely and a very good sized house.
Service from the Island company was great when we advised the rug smelt of dog likely from previous guest. Came and collected rug.
Maybe just make it clearer there is a tight turning to access rear of property for parking. We had no issues but less confident driver may struggle but doesn’t detract from lovely stay in the property and week on the island.」
