Very nice area and clean an modern hotel staff are very helpful and welcoming ... only downfall was the restaurant was closed when it wasnt stated prior it will be. Otherwise breakfast was really nice... comfy and clean rooms but very surprised to see the bathroom sink out in the bedrooms and even that wasnt stated anywhere on the hotel page when booking and that was something i know i didnt like about the room. Otherwise its a beautiful hotel. The hot tub an sauna was really nice but take note the hot tub is outside on the deck but in a private area. Overall definitely recommended

A lovely place. We were lucky to have the place to ourselves. Hot tub and sauna readily available. 5 min walk to Shanklin beach. Would like to have access to bar/ drinks/ light bites all day would be a bonus.

A lovely family run hotel that made me feel very welcome, very attentive and happy to have a chat. Room was a good size overlooking the front so I had a sea view, only a 2 minute walk from the Chine and 5 minutes from town. Would like to visit agin in the summer for the outside pool!

Fantastic little hotel. Fresh, clean and cosy interior. I was the only one staying in the hotel but the staff couldn't have been anymore friendly. Out of the 30+ hotels I've stayed at this year, this is by far the best nights sleep I've had out of them all. 10/10

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room and bathroom very cramped - couldn’t fully open bathroom door Enjoyed meals though breakfast service was chaotic Liked location Parking difficult A bit of a work in progress - potential wasted e g pool surrounds - needs to be sharper- should not have to squeeze by bins to get to the back car park under the rusty fire escape.

The staff here was outstanding especially the ladies on reception and the waitress at breakfast- awesome!!! The area is great loved the lift to the beach and the walk down to the Chine. Had a lovely two day’s sightseeing. My room was somewhat rundown but very clean. The TV has issues but not a deal breaker. Breakfast was great .Did not use pool or sauna. For the price good value.

Room facilities were poor. 1) Shower room inadequate; Showerhead not secured adequately, wash basin far too small, toilet seat not properly secured and not properly size matched to toilet pan. 2) TV; unnessessarily large for a small room and controls take a scientist to figure them. 3) Too many plug extensions and adapters.
