“This historic coaching inn, nestled in Shanklin's old town, strikes me as a characterful base for exploring the Isle of Wight. While retaining its traditional charm, the hotel seems to prioritize guest comfort, with regularly updated menus and staff known for their flexibility. It looks like a spot where the communal areas foster a warm, convivial atmosphere-free parking, plus close proximity to Shanklin Beach, would definitely seal the deal for me.”

Mixed Feelings About My Stay

jammed windowslimited options

The room I had was not great. The windows were jammed shut and covered in layers of old paint. I also noticed mold. Dinner reminded me of school dinners. The breakfast options were limited too.

mixed feelings about recent stay

damp smellstale pastries

I found SOME areas needing attention to detail. The bathroom had a persistent damp smell i could not ignore. Also the soundproofing was not effective. I heard noise from adjacent rooms late into the night. This made it difficult to rest before important meetings. I also noticed the breakfast buffet lacked variety. The same items looked each morning. The pastries were also often stale. This did not meet expectations.
