Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located on the first floor and, although a bit tired, it is very well equipped, quiet, and comfortable. Despite some initial smell, it was manageable after using room freshener. The owner is gradually improving the property, so there's a sense of contrast in the room.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were excellent with a very comfortable bed and a nice hot shower, but they were a bit small and lacked seats. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring the village and the beach, but it was noisy due to local workers and guests on early starts.
The guest house offers a mixed experience - the rooms at the front with a sea view stand out, while the rest are average. The usual amenities are provided, but there is room for improvement. The service is welcoming and catered well for our group attending the IOW scooter rally, with Sallyanne and Peter standing out as great hosts. The location is convenient, offering lovely sea views and easy access to Shanklin attractions. Dining was pleasant but could be enhanced further. Overall, a decent stay with room for enhancements.
