Guest Reviews
- Karen (10/5): - Really friendly hosts and lovely breakfast with plenty of choices.
- Mary (10/5): -
- Brian (10/5): Excellent very hospitable hosts, superb breakfast - Very clean and comfortable, Nothing
- Egon Dyrlund (10/5): - Alt var perfekt
- Paul (10/5): - Everything! From the welcoming check in, to the reluctant check out, nothing was too much trouble for Andy and Jo, who both go out of their way to make your stay perfect. Perfect location, with parking, and we were fortunate to enjoy the balcony suite with perfect weather. It's the little things that count...and both Jo and Andy focus on the detail to make sure you are looked after. From the extras in the room (fresh, chilled water in the fridge every day) to remembering preferences, without assuming, and always asking. With Andy's local knowledge, infectious character, and Jo's cooking (Just Wow, wow, wow) you won't want to leave. Having to leave!
- Darrell (10/5): We had a great experience, everything about this hotel and the owners is top quality - We had a great experience from start to finish. Andy and Jo (the owners) were very helpful, nothing was too much trouble, even waited up to check us in as we got delayed. The hotel is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Our room had a private terrace literally 50' from the beach. The food was all cooked fresh including daily specials and pastries. Facilities in the room were excellent and probably first hotel I've stayed in that doesn't have UHT Milk pods, we had a mini half pint fresh mile for tea and coffee in the fridge - over fantastic experience and will be our go-to hotel for IOW in future. There was nothing not to like about this hotel, could not find anything that I wouldn't consider 10 out of 10
- ALLISON (10/5): Absolutely fantastic - Wow, if you want an incredible place to stay on the Isle of Wight, this is the place to come to. We have been coming to the Island for quite a few years but this place is exceptional. Andy and Jo are wonderful, so warming and friendly, Jo is a fabulous cook and the breakfasts are large, hot and very tasty. Andy is a great host and will tell you a lot about the island and places to visit. The place is also spotlessly clean. If you are looking for 5 star accommodation with fabulous food and hospitality, this is the place to go, trust me, you won’t be disappointed. There isn’t anything to dislike, it’s a 10/10 all the way.
- Anne (10/5): A wonderful break with wonderful hosts in lovely accommodation. - The hosts Jo and Andy were so welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was lovely. There was nothing we didn’t like. Everything was lovely.
- Darren (10/5): - Jo and Andy excellent and very friendly service rooms spotless breakfast fantastic location perfect this place is very very good Nothing
- Pam (9/5): -
- Karine (10/5): Jo and Andy were very welcoming and helpful. They made our stay on the IOW a memorable experience - Excellent breakfast with daily specials. Jo is an excellent cook and we enjoyed starting our day with a different treat every day.
- Michelle (10/5): Such a relaxing stay. Andy and Jo were extremely welcoming and accommodating. They went above and beyond for my dietary - Very clean, fresh and welcoming. Had everything that you would need and more! There was nothing we didn’t like - we had to go home!
- Irene (10/5): Lovely place to stay and we’d gladly return! - 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.
- Carl (10/5): Wonderful short break, for our anniversary - 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.
- sarah (10/5): - Breakfsst. Room. Hosts. Views were all.fantastic !!!!!
- Paula (10/5): - Lovely few days at Shoreside. Jo and Andy make every effort to make your visit comfortable and memorable. Great sea views, spacious comfy room. Lovely breakfast, with daily specials and delicious takeaway pastries.
- Beverley (10/5): Great Holiday - Great location, breakfast amazing, very friendly and helpful, would definitely stay again and recommend
- jenna (10/5): -
- Miranda (10/5): A great hotel made extra special by wonderful hosts. - 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.
- Carter (10/5): -
- Jacqueline (10/5): Shanklin at its best. - Super short stay at Shoreside Inn. Everything was perfect. Our large un suite was spacious and a great big comfy bed. Each day the breakfast was freshly prepared by Jo. Different daily specials. Our room was serviced daily.
- Sharon (10/5): Excellent hosts, lovely food, beautiful room. What more could we ask for! - Everything, it was extremely comfortable and lovely food. Jo and Andy were fantastic hosts making all guests feel special and thoughtful personal touches. Nothing
- Andy (10/5): From the moment we booked until the moment we left Andy and Jo were exceptional hosts…a 10/10 from us and would we s - 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 Nothing
- Katie (10/5): -
- woodstag (9/5): Great Shanklin seafront hotel with great hospitality - 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
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Simply AMAZING!!!
- Karen (10/5): Perfect holiday with fabulous hotel and hosts. - 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.
- Hayley (10/5): Amazing place and Amazing hosts and that is an understatement. Thank you so much, Andy and Jo :) - 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.
- Kaiwen (10/5): Impressive service made by heart. - 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.
- Margaret (10/5): The perfect place for a getaway. - 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. nothing
- Jiarui (10/5): Exceptional - 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.
- Adrian (10/5): What Can One Say.... ? - What can one say as it's been said so many times before ! This is a gem to surpass any B & B you've ever stayed in before. The decor is pristine. The rooms are more than clean and comfortable. The breakfast, well Joe you surpass yourself each morning. Andy, " Your toot, toot, toot " as you serve the food is a joy to behold and makes my day each morning. Can't wait to our return next June that's already booked in but hope to see you later in the year when you're up in our neck of the woods.
- Mike (10/5): - What can I add that’s not already been mentioned, Andy and Jo are a wonderful couple and fabulous hosts, Andy greeted me in the car park and Jo promptly took my bags to my room while Andy showed me the facilities and informed me of local attractions etc. They are very passionate about their business and this clearly shows with their enthusiasm and fantastic service.
- Richard (10/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): 2 couple stay - 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
- Dave (10/5): Exceptional - Fabulous hospitality
- Trevor (10/5): Idyllic and beautiful. God bless you Andy and Jo. - 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.
- Claire (10/5): Fabulous B&B - 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.
- Tania (10/5): Staff, hotel,food, clean was excellent. - Everything I liked all
- Christine (9/5): I enjoyed my stay, I will return - 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.
- Barry (10/5): Exceptional - 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
- Nagarajan (10/5): Very comfortable Felt at home - 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
- Karen (10/5): Exceptional - 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
- Ian (9/5): Superb - We felt very welcome. Andy and Jo couldn't do enough to help us. Nothing really. The only thing we can think of to improve would be coffee bags in the room instead of instant.
- David (10/5): Wonderful room with terrace on the ground floor which suited our needs for no stairs... - The breakfast was superb such a lot of choice..Jo also offered a special breakfast most mornings away from the menu. Andy made us feel welcome and is a font of knowledge about the Island Would definitely recommend. feel very welcome and is a font of knowledge if you need any help It's just a tiny thing but we like a dark bedroom and we found the curtains let a lot of light in..but that is just our personal taste. Everything else was super.... and spotless
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful people and building Nothing to dislike
- Aishwarya (10/5): Amazing place! - We had the most amazing time at Shoreside Inn. Our hosts were Andy and Jo who were great and went out of the way to make our stay super comfortable. They let us check-in early as and also store our luggage for a few hours after check out. Andy shared a number of useful tips on things to do around the area. He has immense knowledge of the Island and his tips came in very handy. The hotel has a brilliant location right on the sea front. Our room was on the ground floor and had a patio with a beautiful view. The room had all amenities for us to have a very comfortable stay. Thank you Jo for feeding us the yummiest fresh breakfast and the most delicious pastries. You are a star. We would recommend this amazing place to anyone who is looking to stay in Shanklin. We will definitely come back here again.
- Martin (10/5): A great place to stay. - We had a great time on the IoW. Lots to do and see and very welcoming locals.
- Mark (10/5): Best hotel ever stayed at - To discover this little gem was the best find ever. On every site it has a 10/10 or 5/5 rating, hard to believe accommodation can be rated so perfectly..................so was shocked to arrive and realise it really is 10 out of 10 in every way, from the greeting from Andy and Jo, to the room, the location and the breakfast.........this place does not have one fault, its absolutely perfect.
- Carol (10/5): Exceptional - The term "guest house" is used less these days, as more short-term accommodation becomes commercial. The Shoreside is a good example of a guest house, where the host and hostess make you feel like guests rather than customers. We felt cared for and personally welcomed from the start to end. No Bathtub; no sign on front door to instruct going building side to ring bell.
- Prashant (10/5): Exceptional - The location of this property is perfect. Right on the beach with a few cafes and restaurants at a walking distance. The hospitality was exceptional. Andy and Jo go went of their way to make our stay a memorable one. The property is so clean and so much thought is gone into planning the stay and the experience.

Thank you for the experience.
- Tom (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was superb. I don't know how Andy and Jo do it to be honest, it felt more like a 5 star hotel. The food was also delicious, with lots of extras and considerations throughout our stay to make sure we had the best experience possible. The rooms were also beautiful, and very big. Very impressed!! Nothing

- Heather (10/5): Our stay was amazing on the Isle of Wight and it was made better by picking to stay in the Shoreside Inn . We are defini - From the moment we arrived at Shoreside Inn my partner and I were extremely pleased with the property, which was well kept from the outside unlike a lot of the other hotels in the area. We were greeted in the car park by Andy who carried our bags inside to check in. We were shown our room which I was say was amazing. We had a sea view balcony suite which was out of this world. The room was exceptionally clean. Great facilities in the room from tea, coffee, and a fridge which stored milk and water. We also had a surprise goodie bag of sweets too. Breakfast was amazing and nothing was too much trouble for Jo, who even made her own specials for breakfast and also pastries. One of the best places I have stayed where the breakfast is outstanding. Nothing we liked everything about the property.
- Paul (10/5): Amazing - As a seasoned traveller and working in culinary myself, this has to be one of the best experiences in Hotel/B&B's I've ever had. Andy & Jo treat you like family from the minute you park the car, Andy greets you and insists on carrying your bags, he has a wealth of local information to assist your visit to the isle of Wight, a very polite couple who could not do enough for us. The room was impeccably clean and tidy and very spacious with an extremely comfortable bed, As for breakfast, it is obvious Jo takes pride in her work, it was outstanding, very clean(no greasy plates here) and well presented, everything was cooked to perfection with care(especially fried & poached eggs). they even accommodated all our food allergies & intolerances. A must stay if visiting the island, we'll be back.
- Rujuta (10/5): Exceptional - The most perfect stay and very welcoming hosts. Still dreaming about the amazing breakfast we had here.
- Elizabeth (9/5): I can’t wait to be back. I will also be recommending this property to other people. - The couple Andy and Jo were great. They are so lovely and the perfect host. The breakfast was delicious and the extra pastries were fabulous. Nothing
- Paul (10/5): An excellent B and B - From start to finish Jo and Andy were the perfect hosts. The breakfast every morning was outstanding with Jo offering a daily special and freshly baked pastries to take away. Our room was beautiful, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. We especially loved the bath where you could look out at the sea. Andy was great at sharing his knowledge of places to visits and good restaurants to try. To finish we have to mention the great location, right on Shanklin seafront, but with its own private parking which was very useful especially when visiting Shanklin in August Nothing
- Graham (10/5): Exceptional - Very welcoming.Room immaculate. Breakfast incredible.Also good parking and excellent location
- Gerry (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dave (10/5): Relaxed and super friendly place to stay on IOW - Lovely place to stay, just a stone throw from the sea. There were so many choices for Breakfast, beautifully prepared and sourced locally. Free parking. Close to good choice of pubs and restaurants. Jo & Andy are just the perfect hosts. Nothing, it was the perfect break away
- Frank (10/5): Extremely enjoyable stay with amazing hosts and food - Location was amazing, hosts very friendly and welcoming, breakfast was outstanding and cleanliness too N/a
- David (10/5): Excellent! - Superb breakfast Nothing
- Sabre_544 (10/5): 100% Recommend - Was right across the road from the beach, next door to Amusements and a resteraunt. You can hear the waves crashing on the beach at night which is very relaxing. Andy and Jo will help with anything you need. Even offer plates and cutlery. If you order in food! Mattress may have been a bit too soft but was still comfortable and had great nights sleep.
- Kevin (10/5): Very relaxed and comfortable. - The helpful and friendly attitude of the proprieter. We were made to feel most welcome. The location on the seafront was excellent.
- Keith (10/5): Exceptional place, would highly recommend. - Excellent location on the Esplanade and within reasonable walking distance of the restaurants in the town. Our room was very large, beautifully decorated and clean and well stocked each day with water, tea and coffee. The owners Andy and Jo were exceptionally friendly and fantastic from the moment we pulled up into the carpark, coming out to assist with our luggage. Every day the breakfast selection that Jo expertly made swiftly to order was lovely, always with a special of the day to tantalise. Not to mention the delicious homemade pastries that were then offered every day to take away for later. Possibly all round one of the very best places we have stayed at. Andy spent some time when we arrived giving us ideas of places we may like to visit and where they were. Then wherever we went on the island during the week, Andy always had a great tip for places to see or eat whilst we were there. We can honestly say it was one of the best and most relaxing places we have ever stayed at. Can’t fault anything at all.
- Gillian (10/5): Dave and gill - I would give this place 6 star's if the scores allowed it thoroughly enjoyed our stay thankyou both for making it a truly lovely stay we will return

- Karen (10/5): Felt welcome immediately and suburb stay - An early check was requested and upon arrival this was faciliated with a very warm welcome from the owners. Jo and Andy were exceptional hosts. Breakfast was amazing and could be adopted to ones requirements. As it was my first visit to the IOW Andy was a wealth of knowledge to assist with out days out. Room was spotless and comfy and welcoming. I liked everything from the time I arrived until the time I left.
- Dennis (10/5): I’ve been coming to the Isle of Wight for almost 40 years and this is by far away the best. - Breakfast was out of this world, JOE the owner cooked a made to order breakfast special every morning that was more than surprising and delicious. Can’t think of anything that could’ve been better for a B and B that went above and beyond
- David (10/5): Clean, comfortable, amazing food very friendly and across the road from the beach. Very central. - The breakfast was amazing with 'specials' every day. All freshly cooked to order. Also warm delicious freshly baked pastries every day for later. The room was huge and spotlessly clean. Very comfortable. Nothing. Jo and Andy were so kind. They couldn't do enough for us!
- Hankey (10/5): Restful and relaxing in a luxurious room overlooking gorgeous Shanklin beach - Wonderful full English breakfast. Amazing room with own terrace. The cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in. Andy and Jo so helpful and friendly Nothing to dislike
- Mussett (10/5): Very comfortable and clean. Perfect - Beautiful views. Breakfast was great. Owners very friendly No lift so if you find stairs tricky ask for a lower room
- Chetan (10/5): Very lovely hosts and loved the room we booked which balcony facing sea side, room was very clean, spacious and all the -
- Ian (10/5): You will not be disappointed, lovely hosts and base for a good break. - Very nice room, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts were excellent, often did specials such as pancakes, omelette and eggs Benedict. Location right on the sea front. Nothing to dislike.
- Natalie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alan (10/5): Very welcoming and helpful and friendly - Sea view was not quite what we expected Sea view
- Lucia (10/5): - Jo and Andy made us feel so welcome, great communication. Andy gave us a map of the area and marked the map for us, according to our interests. The room was excellent, the jellybeans a nice touch. A great bathroom and super sleep in bed. For big tea drinkers like us, we actually had enough tea and milk! Amazing. Breakfast was made to order by Jo, with a pre option of fruit and end option of home made take away pastries. We would have stayed another night but were committed to a wedding. If we return to UK we will be back to Shoreside.
- Susan (10/5): A perfect stay! - Andy and Jo were so welcoming and friendly. The entire building - entrance hall; stairway; landings, and breakfast room were impeccably presented. The room was gorgeous - the beds were comfy; the shower was large and had super water pressure, and little touches such as mint & green teas, and fresh milk and water daily in the little fridge (not to mention the arrival jelly beans!) made such a positive difference! The breakfasts were delicious, and a 'special' was offered each day which could be tailored to vegetarian requirements. The sausages were apparently "just right" (which is high praise indeed) and the bacon was also delicious. Apparently a request is going in on our second stay for those sausages and a "dippy egg" - just those on each day. Personally, the avocado toast and (perfectly) poached egg was beautiful. The Shoreside Inn is perfectly placed on the seafront, and the lapping waves were particularly soporific after a day spent playing crazy golf; eating icecream, and sitting in the sunshine watching the sea. Nothing.
- Peter (9/5): Very good hosts brilliant breakfast really enjoyed our stay - The room was beautiful with a view of the sea Nothing
- Joringge (10/5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Wonderful. Incredible. AMAZING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ These are just few words to summarise our experience in Shoreside Inn. We can’t believe it’s a B&B because the quality they provide to their guests is beyond 5star hotel!! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Andy and Jo while our luggage was brought to our room. He gave us a map of IOW with all his recommendations from attractions to restaurants..especially the timetables of the island coaster which is very helpful to us travelling by foot. The location is superb since it’s just beside the summer arcade, bus stop (island coaster), and seafront. The room is spectacularly clean. As a nurse, I can’t help but be amazed how clean and neat everything is. We were also delighted with free jelly beans along with the beverages & toiletries which were topped up everyday. We booked the room with a balcony and the view is literally therapy. Having the sound of ocean waves wake you up with the seagulls is just 👌*chefs kiss*. Not to mention Jo’s cooking and pastries..oh to die for! I don’t usually finish my meals because of my small appetite but we can’t get enough of her breakfast. We were also offered by Andy some of Jo’s spectacular pastries to bring as takeaways on our way to Needles and on our last day. Their sweetness, friendliness, and warmth certainly made all the difference. “Our home is now your home” was written on their welcome board in the reception and we wholeheartedly felt that. Overall, the ambiance of the hotel is peaceful, fresh, and cozy..perfect for those who are really wishing for a well-deserved vacation. 💯 Booking with them for our anniversary is honestly one of the highlights we’ve had for this year. We truly wish they will be showered with blessings throughout the year and the years to come. Their existence is proof that humanity still has hope. 🥹🫶🏻 Thank you so so much again! Will definitely be going back soon 💗
- Wanpeng (10/5): Nice trip at the shore side. - The breakfast is extraordinarily good. Andy is quite kind and informative, and Jo is a really talented baker.
- Lesley (9/5): The Shoreside Inn was friendly and welcoming, perfectly situated, and a really great place to stay. - We were greeted by the hotel owners, Andrew and Jo, and from the start they were very helpful and friendly. We had a sea view room which was spacious, clean, good storage and with tea and coffee making available (fresh milk everyday). The breakfasts were superb with a 'special' everyday plus a selection of the usual english breakfast. We were also treated to freshly made pastries to take away for later. Andrew was always on hand to ask directions and suggestions for travelling around the island and what to visit. Free on site parking was also a bonus as it is on the Esplanade. We had a really lovely short holiday and will definitely be going back for another break. Only a suggestion, but a little more shelving in the bathroom would have been useful. There really was nothing we didn't like.
