Pros:

We booked 2 single rooms for one night. The rooms were basic but a bargain. They were clean, had everything we needed and a comfortable bed. The breakfast was great, with lots of choice. Staff were very helpful. Would stay again

Enjoyed our stay but would have been more enjoyable without so many dogs.
Pros:

Friendly & hard working staff. Excellent Food & Drink. Ideal Location. Parking available.

Cons:

Dogs allowed in dining room & sitting on furniture. Too many dogs in the hotel at one time. Dog friendly is fine but not so many. Dogs were also being fed in the dining room- not acceptable.
We did request a room with a view which we did not get, but our allocated room was acceptable.

Average accomodation overall
Pros:

Friendly staff, great location. Parking on site. Good breakfast. Spacious bedroom. Easy walking to Shanklin Village, the beach and local pub The Chine Inn

Cons:

Although our room was spacious, it was somewhat dated, i.e. decoration and some of the furniture was missing it's handles and the bed base was tatty. The shower/toilet/sink area was small, could only get 1 person in there at once. Toilet seat, slipped to one side, when you sat on it. Shower door was stiff and tray and surround was grubby.

Left early - not for me
Pros:

Good location and staff were nice.

Cons:

I had a single room and it was dire. I booked for 2 nights and only stayed one and booked elsewhere. My room was grubby and smelled like damp. Mattress was too big for the box spring, couldn’t open the curtains as it looked directly into another house, towel rail had fallen off in the bathroom and wasn’t replaced, no hot water in the sink and shower temperature was variable, mismatched ‘dorm room’ furniture, no where to put things in the bathroom or the bedroom had to put my things on the floor. Everything on the breakfast was deep fried, including the mushrooms! Maybe it was just my room as I'm surprised by other reviews here and the photos.

Unimpressed
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Room we were allocated could nt have been any smaller opened the door immediately the bed the so-called ensuite was basically a cupboard no floor space from shower cubicle to sink to toilet poor water pressure shower would suddenly go cold only one narrow shelf above sink nothing in shower for toiletries the edge of sink to the sliding door into bedroom was about 2 feet an ordeal every morning we saw into rooms either side much larger and more importantly larger or better laid out bathrooms after couple days realised these rooms were only booked for single nights we paid nearly £700 for 6 nights in what I've described above ther was a no vacancies sign when we arrived so foolishly we now realise didn't ask to get moved I would say this had a detrimental effect on our holiday this is a genuine review on room 3 in harrow lodge shanklin
