Gem of a hotel! Positioned right above Shanklin Beach, wirh either a 10 minute walk (which i did everyday with my dog), or there's a lift literally a minute away, going straight down to the beach. The staff were fantaatic, really friendly, and couldnt do enough for you... sure, the hotel itself is a little dated, bur it's obviously been decorated, but coylddo with a much bigger makeover, but these thibgs cost a lot of money, and it's kept lovely and clean. My reason for booking was because they take dogs, and I was bring mine with me. I took a single room, which had its own shower room and toilet, and whilst it wasn't particularly big, it was clean, functional and had everything I needed.
