accessible location was a good place to explore the island by bus.
Pros:

The staff were helpful and friendly. The food was good with a wide range of choices. Beds were comfortable. The sitting room and bar area were good for guests to gather in the evening.

Cons:

One of the rooms was quite small for a double room, if a single bed was there instead it would give more space to move around and for clothes storage.

One of the best and most relaxing holidays we have had in many a year.
Pros:

The location was very good as it was well placed for the town centre, beach and restaurant facilities in Shanklin.
The breakfasts were excellent at the hotel. All of the staff were genuinely friendly and most helpful. They really made a very good holiday an excellent holiday.

Cons:

Perhaps we were just lucky. We enjoyed everything. The people on the Island were a joy and so was the Island.

Fair enough but slightly disappointed when compared to previous visit.
Pros:

Down stairs decorating quirky. Breakfast ok, Good location, Bar staff friendly

Cons:

Poor lighting in the bedroom , couldn’t get Tv to work ,and way too big for the room. Complained about dirty bedding and receptionist came and had a look. The duvet cover had a brown stain and black scuff mark on bottom, the pillow case was a dirty looking scuff mark . She said that it had been professionally cleaned . She also said the bedding had definitely been changed by her. Even if it had been cleaned if it was still dirty it should not have been used. There was also a very long black hair on the pillow , partner bold and I have short blond hair. !!! She was very offish…. But the bedding was changed later in the day. We have stayed here before and been happy with the accommodation. Disappointed you no longer have an evening restaurant but we can understand.

Really comfortable and fun hotel with friendly staff :)
Pros:

We loved the breakfast, the staff were really friendly and really helpful, we thought the room was lovely and we loved the quirky decor. Adored the sauna and hot tub to use, especially as we had them to ourselves!

Cons:

Just the water pressure on the shower - that is literally it…. But we did tell staff about this at the time and they advised this is a wider problem. We really enjoyed the big bath :)
