    We had a wonderful stay here. The staff were fantastic, very friendly and always happy to help. The location was perfect, just a short (if hilly) walk to the beach, and the view of the sunrise from the patio was absolutely breathtaking. There are plenty of stairs, which gave us a bit of a workout, though it was good to know there were step free access options available too. Parking could be a little tricky when the coaches were back, but overall it wasn’t too much of an issue. All in all, a very pleasant and relaxing stay, we’d happily return!

    Single crewed staff for check in, then running to crew the bar not a problem just a delay.

    Good selection, full English was more than enough, a larger breakfast with the 5pound supplement is a fair charge. Tea and coffee with toast and cereals readily available .

    The reception staff were very friendly, helpful and went beyond expectations to make my stay welcoming and comfortable. The breakfast menu is has a variety of food and drink options to suit most dietary requirements and I really enjoyed everything I was served. The swimming pool was clean, heated and the shower there was superb. The location was a short walk to Shanklin Beach and depending on your room you will get a good sea view. Transport links are great with a direct £5.90 train from Ryde Ferry Port to Shanklin station which is a 10 minute walk to the hotel. Bus links are an easy way to explore the whole Island and stop at the majority of the tourist attractions. The buses have a 24 hour unlimited travel ticket that costs just over £10.

    The pool changing rooms need a revamp.

    The staff were all very friendly, making a real effort to connect with their guests. We loved the evening entertainment and the swimming pool. The location was great with easy access to Shanklin beach and activities. Our room was comfortable, clean and spacious, laid out well for a couple with a child. Our five year old grandson loved the hotel and is looking forward to returning next year!

    Breakfast area has nice window seating that was always reserved for coach tours and so the occupants of the property were told to sit elsewhere which meant that the window views could never be enjoyed no matter what time you arrive for breakfast..

    No evening meal available in the hotel, although it states that it does on their website. Every night we had to walk to elsewhere for dinner. After a long day, (and it got quite cold out in the evening) with a young child, that was not always nice. The alternative was to pay extra for delivery costs and order takeaway. Was told they do evening meals when there’s coach trips but the hotel was full, so I didn’t understand why they couldn’t offer something.

    We liked that it was so close to the beach and the hotel pool was lovely. The beds were also comfortable. & the breakfast room staff were very friendly.
