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

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.

Helen (10/5): Exceptional -
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)

Parker (9/5): Superb - Superb guest house, exceptionally clean and Sally very friendly. Plenty to choose from for breakfast, all fresh and piping hot. Would return and recommend Only one thing that we could comment on was that we were cold. Heating came on in the morning for an hour but that was it, cold in the evening, did ask but said they didn't know why it wasnt coming on in evening, we had a lady of 85 with us who like us felt the cold as it was mid October, wasnt offered a fan heater which would of helped other than that it was lovely

Verified traveler (10/5): very good - very good overall, would stay again. only improvement would be shower not very powerful particularly with fine rose head, but its manageable.
Peter (10/5): Very friendly and easy going,not far from beaches - Made me feel very relaxed and welcome the food was very good and well presented.
Raymond (10/5): Well worth a visit! - A very enjoyable and relaxing stay. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming and made us feel at home. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were great with a wide range of options to choose from. Snowdon House is a great base for exploring the local area and also for travelling further afield. The hotel is advertised as having free parking available. It is worth noting that on the whole this is only off street parking and at busy times you may have to park nearby and walk back to the hotel but this is only a minor issue. We would definitely stay here again.
Alan (8/5): Friendly hotel - Friendly hotel close to sea front.
Verified traveler (8/5): A good hotel for couples - We enjoyed our stay at the Snowdon. It was peaceful quite and relaxing.
