“Staying in this hotel means experiencing Shanklin's Old Village charm firsthand, right near thatched cottages and the beach. I especially appreciate its Trip Advisor Travellers Choice Award 2024, plus the family-friendly vibe, and the hosts' knowledge of local spots. It's a solid choice for a relaxed holiday, especially if you're keen to explore the coastline and local pubs.”

excellent stay, great hosts!

easy access good choice secure luggage early arrival
the location allowed easy access to the beach and town. owners were very cute and accommodating, especially with early arrival needs. breakfast offered a good choice, with a full english option available. i could leave my luggage securely before check-in, allowing time for lunch and a walk.
the parking on site had limited spaces, so it was occasionally difficult to find a spot, requiring a short walk from nearby public parking.
