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.

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.

You won't find better hosts anywhere. They went way beyond good service to make our stay comfortable. Charming, large rooms and you can fall asleep to the surf every night. Very clean, great food. Highly recommend Shoreside if you're traveling to the Isle of Wight.

Wonderful place with great hosts

Andrew and Jo are the perfect hosts. They were very welcoming. The rooms were very comfortable, very clean, and modern. Breakfast is very good, with warm pastries to take away with us. The location on the sea front is perfect. Definitely a place we would visit again.

Fantastic hotel with great friendly service.

Fantastic week, we have been to Shanklin many times but have never enjoyed it as much as our stay in the Shoreside Inn, the rooms were big an spacious with great sea views. Fantastic breakfast every morning. Andy and Jo the owners could not do enough for all the guests staying with them. We will defiantly return.

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.

Great weekend spent in the IOW The accomodation was superb, warm welcoming arrival greeted by Andy to show us to our room. The room was clean, cosy and fully equipped, fresh towels and toiletries, a little fridge with water and milk and variety of tea and coffee (topped up each day) Breakfast was amazing cooked by jo, nothing was too much trouble at all. Jo and Andy are a lovely couple and cant wait to go back!

From the moment we arrived Andy and Jo could not do enough for us. They gave us advice about local places to eat and visit. The room was clean and comfortable with a wonderful view of the sea. Breakfast was well prepared and could not be faulted. Would definitely recommend and return.

Shoreside Inn

From the moment we arrived Andy was there making sure we had everything we needed not just for our accommodation but for our plans while staying on the Island, nothing was too much trouble. That’s enough about Andy, now Jo, based on the breakfast Jo provided, I’m sure we would have happily eaten an evening meal there, the quality of food was excellent and alway delivered to our table to whatever specification we requested, lovely people and great accommodation to use as a base to explore Isle of Wight.

We really couldn’t fault our stay here. Jo and Andy are super friendly and very welcoming. The room was lovely (we had the suite with the bath with a view!) Bed was comfy and the bathroom was huge! Breakfasts on both mornings was top notch. Everything cooked perfectly by Jo with fantastic service ftom Andy. We had the full English and eggs Benedict.The freshly cooked pastries are a nice touch too, packaged to take away for elevenses. Will definitely return if in the area again and highly recommend staying here if you are visiting the island.

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.

An excellent B&B and very good value.

This is a marvellous B&B. As well as the obvious advantages - location on seafront, free parking, quiet (adults only) the rooms are modern, fresh and well-appointed, we had a fantastic bathroom too. Breakfasts are made to order, good choices, beautifully cooked and presented and every day we were offered a freshly-baked pastry to take away for later. However, the big selling point for this place has to be the fantastic welcome by the owners- friendly and helpful but not intrusive, nothing too much trouble and very knowledgeable about all the places of interest on the island. Service over and above all expectations and a genuine interest in delivering the best holiday experience for their guests. Wish all B&Bs could be this good, it helped to make a brilliant holiday. Go there if you get chance!!
