“The Hambledon Hotel strikes me as a rare find, a place where the welcome is as warm as the cooked breakfast is satisfying, especially the smoked haddock. Its location offers the best of Shanklin - a short walk to both the beach and the charming old village. It's clear why guests return year after year; the hosts, Bill and Jackie, create a truly comfortable and hospitable atmosphere.”
