We are situated in a quiet road a short walk from Shanklin station and within easy reach of the town centre with its restaurants and bars and the old village. The seafront and beach is a pleasant walk away. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided along with TV and free WiFi.  A full English breakfast, including freshly brewed coffee or tea, fresh fruit, cereals, yoghurt and toast, is served from 8:30 - 9am in the dining room.
Number 29 is a fresh start for my son and me after we decided to downsize from our four star guest house in Shanklin which we had run for over 10 year to a smaller b&b which will be for adults only, we regret that we will be unable to accommodate children or pets.
