Every member of staff was friendly and helpful. We were shocked as the hotel has no disabled facilities at all. Not one disabled room or toilet. No disabled access. It has small ramp but could not get up it with my small scooter. Friends had booked it, I was silly I should have checked myself. I knew there were a few steps to the dining room but was certainly shocked at the lack of disabled facilities.
Manager did offer help to lift it in or out which was very kind and thoughtful. I can't say what the breakfast or food was like as my husband went to hospital the evening we arrived. Night manager was fantastic but being disabled I was totally stranded I could not get into the gardens or leave the hotel. I left the next day but have to say the staff were brilliant bringing me endless cups of tea and helping me with doors so I could go to our room. We were really looking forward to spending a few days here even without the facilities as staff were great. Would definitely recommend if you able bodied.

Absolutely fabulous location, with lovely walks straight from the hotel along Shanklin Cliff Path leading down to the seafront. The reception, dining area and pool are at a luxurious standard. The staff are amazing and super helpful. Food was out of this world a true taste sensation at the dinner table. Our only slight moan is our room although clean was very dated, very 70s 80s. I totally understand the hotel is being updated I believe, so hopefully our next stay might just be in an up to date styled room. All in all a lovely break away.

This lovely place exceeded our expectations, as most people have pointed out the rooms being a little tired, but they were clean. The staff were extremely polite and professional, Ideal location, would definitely return, thank you Daniel and Chelsea.

Room size was a bit small but otherwise everything was good. They provided a water bottle which was a warm gesture. Breakfast has got good options but not too many for vegetarians.

Well maintained and lovely public / bar areas. Pleasant staff, good service too. However there is no WiFi in the rooms which didn't bother me but really did my step son, sadly it's expected in this day and age. Lastly the bar prices - 6.75 for a pint of cider is really expensive given the average on the Island seems to be around 4.30!
