A lovely hotel in the perfect location with helpful, pleasant staff. The rooms however are tired and need an update to reflect the downstairs of this hotel. The shower has no pressure, the toilets are run on a very noisy macerater and generally the rooms require a total refurb which i understand from the new Managers is in hand.

This hotel is well situated and the reception and bar areas are top class. The staff also are not to be faulted, providing a warm welcome and nothing too much trouble. The bedroom and decor however, leave much to be improved upon. Poor paint finishing, a wash basin in the main bedroom area separate from the shower and toilet, a dreadfully weak shower and a strange pump noise going on throughout the day/night intermittently. All easily remedied which would make this welcoming hotel one of the best in Shanklin I reckon.

Lovely boutique style hotel quirky decor communal areas very nicely designed. Our room on the ground floor was small with the wash basin in the bedroom not in the bathroom. Towels changed and house keeping done daily. Lovely dining room the Full English Breakfast was good although a little pricey. No evening meals. The bar area and lounge was welcoming and comfortable. The outside area inc swimming pool was not in use, possibly too early in the season (11 - 15 May). A few parking space’s are available at the back of the hotel, first come basis. The staff were welcoming and friendly, especially Ewan who was very attentive during our 4 night stay Ideal location for getting to Shanklin’s beach front esplanade and to Shanklin old town with its small local shops,pubs and cafes.
