Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning sea views and immaculate rooms, though dining can be improved. The service is excellent, and the location is perfect for coastal walks. The value for money is reasonable.
The hotel is perfectly located right on the coastal path with lovely views of the sea, in a quiet cul-de-sac, making me feel safe and relaxed. The rooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable, though blackout blinds would have been a nice addition. The service, especially from housekeeping, was top-notch. The dining experience, with a wide choice and amazing hosts, set us up for the day. Overall, a great value for the price, and I would definitely recommend it.
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms were outstanding, so close to the cliff path overlooking the sea, offering fantastic sea views in a brilliant location. The service was top-notch, and the housekeeping was excellent. The location was simply perfect with our room overlooking the sea and waking up to such a breathtaking view, run by lovely people and conveniently situated near Shanklin station, on the coastal path between Shanklin and Sandown, close to shops and restaurants. The dining experience was substantial and very well-cooked, with a beautiful view towards the coast, lovely locally sourced produce, and a good selection of fresh fruit served brilliantly every morning. Facilities exceeded my expectations, with cleanliness everywhere being exceptional.
