shoreside inn

Lovely, well appointed room. Spectactular breakfast and great hosts. Seafront location but with no disturbance or noise from traffic. Most rooms are reached via stairs, but there are 2 ground floor rooms available.

Breakfast, cleanliness, welcome, location.

An exceptional hotel. Spotlessly clean, large room and really good shower. The breakfasts were excellent, freshly cooked and generous portions. Special mention to our hosts who went above and beyond. They really made us feel welcome. They even gave us homemade pastries to take with us when we couldn't manage them for breakfast.There were also several little things we appreciated. Instead of a tiny pot of UHT milk there was fresh milk in a glass bottle in the fridge, as well as loads of different types of tea bags.The hotel is really well situated right on rhe beach and close to the lift to the town as well as the Chine.Even though the room was advertised as having a partial view of the sea, we actually found the view great which was a bonus.

Nothing. Everything was lovely and if we ever come back to Shanklin we will book the Shoreside Inn again.

Everything, it was extremely comfortable and lovely food. Jo and Andy were fantastic hosts making all guests feel special and thoughtful personal touches.

Such a great location next to the beach and it’s so well presented… has that feeling of the traditional seaside B&B whilst behind by clean and modern

This hotel is situated in a great location along the Shanklin sea front where we had a lovely sized room on the first floor with a great seaview. We had great hosts in Andy and Joanne on arrival, for breakfast and during our stay. Breakfast provided us with variety and tailored cooked options each day with a nice touch of having a pastries takeaway each day. Ample parking out back for guests.

Nothing comes to mind

Andy and Jo were fabulous hosts Andy answered all our questions on the telephone before we stayed. On arrival we were met at the hotel car park and Andy and Jo took our luggage to the room. The premises were immaculately clean and tidy. We were given all local information ie restaurants, attractions, taxis. We were so happy with our room which was very modern, super clean and tidy, it had everything we needed. The breakfasts made by Jo were lovely and tasty with so much to choose from and the freshly cooked pastries were mouthwatering. We felt really comfortable staying as Andy and Jo were so friendly and nice and couldn't do enough. We would highly recommend booking to stay at this hotel as the customer service is second to none, We will be booking to stay again next year.

Nothing could have been better, our stay was perfect.

Everything. Andy and Jo couldn’t do enough for you. They were so helpful, welcoming and warm. Really genuine, lovely, friendly people who instantly put you at ease. The room at the hotel was stunning, beautiful views overlooking the sea, comfortable bed, lovely bathroom and the room was spotlessly clean. Although please note: if you stay in the room with the bath - get up early to have your bath as you won’t want to get out :) The breakfast was delicious, well presented and they catered for my dietary requirements easily (next time, I may have to buy some of Jo’s homemade jam if I can). Andy and Jo and their hotel beyond exceeded my expectations. They even provided water each day in the mini fridge with milk suitable for your requirements if you need including a nice thoughtful touch with the jelly beans on arrival.I really can’t say enough about this place and the staff. It was the best. I 100% recommend and will definitely be back :)

There was nothing not to like apart from that I hadn’t booked for a longer stay. I really didn’t want to leave.

The room was clean, and with some considerate supplies. For example, fresh milk was provided every day in the in-room fridge for tea, coffee, or drinking directly. The room was well ventilated, and a powerful fan was provided. We visited during a hot weekend, but did not feel any need for an air conditioner. The bathroom was cleaned to a high level that I have only seen in Japan. The small inn is run by a couple, Andy and Jo. The breakfast was prepared by Jo, right on-site, with many customised options: modest ingredients but very well cooked. They even provide bags to take away freshly-baked pastries in case you are going on a trip in a rush. Andy, a polite gentleman, provided all the in-person services in the dining room. Everything was professional but with an at-home hospitality. He also noted a lot of useful suggestions for our travel plans on a printed map of Shanklin, with his mind memorising the map of the entire Isle of Wight. I do not often write reviews, but I feel they indeed deserve my positive comments.

I did not find anything unsatisfactory. This is literally the best B&B I have ever seen in the UK.

Such a thoroughly enjoyable short break. Jo and Andy are the perfect hosts. Lovely room, fantastic breakfast, nothing is too much trouble for the hosts. This is not your average B&B.

impressive fresh local breakfast and better than most 4-star hotel’s room. Definitely worth the prices. Thanks for Andrew’s warm and profession service and Jo’s excellent cooking.

Very comfortable room with balcony. Exceptionally clean. Jo is a great cook and breakfast was delicious. Andy was born to be a host! Friendly, welcoming and offering advice on local places.

Amazing stay, so clean and welcoming with lots of extra touches which made it very special. Andy & Jo were perfect hosts with the best breakfast ever and recommendations for places to visit and eat. We are officially now ship geeks thanks to Andy so will be back as it is the perfect location to sit on the balcony and track the ship traffic!

Liked everything

Tardis of a property, spotless, huge room and the most comfortable bed . Andy and Jo are the most welcoming hosts and went out of their way to make our stay complete. Their knowledge of the island is extensive and gave us great things to do on both sunny and rainy days. Can not thank them enough.

Andy and Jo were extremely accommodating.Andy greeted us in the car park, taking our luggage upstairs. He went on to show us all the room facilities.The room was large and had an amazing view.Fresh milk in the fridge for the tea and coffee with jelly beans on the side was a nice touch.The breakfast room was well designed, and conducive to private conversations whilst being open and friendly.Breakfast was made to order, and pretty much whatever was desired. Whilst eating breakfast, pastries were baked and put in a take away bag for later. Amazing.We will definitely go back.

There was nothing that did not meet our expectations.

Loved everything. Our hosts Andy and Jo were excellent making sure our stay was first class. Jo’s breakfasts were outstanding with additional treats to order and Andy was very knowledgeable about the island and was able to recommend places to visit. We had a superb room overlooking the beach and sea. Cannot fault anything and will definitely visit again in the future.Thanks very much. Carl & Gill

The third day came round too quickly, and we had to depart.

Breakfast was beyond stunning, all freshly cooked and delicious. Quality ingredients. Prob the nicest breakfast I’ve eaten in a long time and I travel a lot in expensive hotels. Hosts was beyond helpful, made suggestions to where we should go for the day, lovely coupe. Did all they could to make you comfortable. Put fresh milk in my room everyday so we could have a cup of coffee on our return

Lot of steps up to my room, no lift but the View from my room made up for the hike.

My wife and I had never been to the island before and Andrew & Jo were excellent. They helped us with everything and explained things that we never even thought of. Excellent place, excellent location & excellent owners

Honestly, not a thing and I’m not the best guest and little things annoy me but absolutely nothing. Sorry guys but this place really is this good

The location was superb The room was spacious neat clean and well equipped with all amenities.Andy and Joe were lovely hosts . They took personal care of everything and made our stay most comfortable Parking facility onsite was very convenient

Amazing last minute trip to this beautiful hotel. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night. I couldn't wait to see what the 3rd breakfast special would be and surfice to say it did not disappoint. Exceptional hosts from beginning to end. Excellent location. Emaculate room and the best breakfast and pastries. Thankyou Shoreside for a wonderful stay. X
