- Tim (10/5): -
- Michaela (10/5): Great accommodation - well positioned for visiting IoW - Excellent accommodation. Couldn't fault it.

- Stuart (8/5): Very good -
- Debbie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Claire (8/5): Good, clean accommodation in convenient location - Really good location - walking distance to the centre, Old Shanklin/Chine and the sea-front. Good access to the bus stop that goes into Newport and the Festival. The room was large and very clean. Pleasant owners who were very helpful. Breakfast was good quality. Breakfast was a bit early for us festival go-ers (8:15am - 9am)! Just a few niggles which if you were staying for one night wouldn't be a problem, but any longer.... I think the pillows were very hard, but that is just my preference and the bedding was a bit uncomfortable - the bottom sheet didn't fit and kept coming off in the night. The only mirror, for make-up and hair drying wasn't near a plug and was so high up that even at 5'6" I struggled to see anything other than the top half of my face. Also, the room wasn't serviced during our stay, so no top-up of tea, coffee, milk or clean towels. I am not sure if I am being unreasonable in my expectations here, so don't let this stop you staying here because I would definitely stay again and overall a great place.
- Corina (9/5): Superb -
- Xuanci (8/5): smooth and relaxing - Breakfast is delicious. Landlord is friendly, Room is clean and nice. Wifi signal is too weak.

- Antony (10/5): Short stay at a recommended bed and breakfast - Bedroom was in excellent condition and serviced on a daily basis. Breakfast was cooked to order and delivered in a timely manner on hot plates. Good selections available and possible to make minor changes from the set breakfast menu. Location is great for both driving and bus services and host couldn't have been any more helpful. Whilst the room was excellent and recently decorated both myself and my wife found the duvet to be a high tog rating and as such it was rather warm at night (but too be honest it is probably better to have it this way rather than trying to sleep in whilst freezing cold)
- Duchess22 (10/5): Amazing short break. - Accommodation was excellent, warm and friendly, well maintained, room was exceptional very roomy, comfortable and clean. Breakfast was excellent.

We would definitely stay here again.
