Birkdale Guest House

Exceptional attention to detail in giving every comfort to our stay with lovely owners and friendly staff on hand. We felt looked after but privacy was also respected, under no pressure if we wanted to remain in our room during the day. Very clean, light and comfortable room with ensuite, complete with every bathroom luxury. On site parking in front with proximity to shops, restaurants and the sea front. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

I cannot think of anything that was missed out!

The Birkdale far exceeded my expectations. It was immaculate and looked as if it was freshly decorated. All the extras provided in the bedroom and bathroom were what one normally finds in a good class hotel. The breakfast was excellent and served in an attractive room with beautifully laid tables. The proprietors, Lesley and Colin were very friendly and helpful.

Nothing really, just the stairs up to the room - though Lesley and Colin help with luggage - and possibly more flexibility in breakfast times, though I acknowledge this might be difficult in a small establishment without staff.

Breakfast was superb - everything you could want. My husband was delighted that you had apricot jam

On a personal basis we found the chairs a bit low especially as my husband had recently had a new hip. We just brought our directors chairs in as we like to play cards in the evening. For me the bed was too short so my feet were hanging off the end but I still slept alright.Our stay

Breakfast was great, so much choice and ordered ahead so it was prepared quickly. Room was very spacious, although bathroom was a little small. Lovely touch to have home baked biscuits in the rooms and especially pleased to see oat milk in the fridge as well as at breakfast as standard.

The bathroom was a little small but had an amazing shower. Ordering breakfast the night before isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but imagine that changing in the morning would be fine anyway as they’re very friendly. Quite a small and relatively early breakfast window (ending 9:15) although that’s a personal preference.

The rooms (with ensuite bathrooms) were perfect! Beautifully decorated, comfortable, spacious, and included every little complementary detail imaginable. Leslie and Colin welcomed us warmly... offering a beverage on arrival. The house has a very homey feel (a genuine B&B of the old variety). Our breakfast was sumptuous! We were offered a full menu the previous evening to choose from.

Nothing!

Breakfast was 1st class. Cooked to perfection. Everything spotless with the whole location. Lots of hard work has been invested and I would and will recommend to anyone who wants a lovely relaxed stay on the Island.

There was nothing whatsoever to dislike.

Room quality was outstand, breakfast had large selection even for my wife who has a Gluten intolerance, friendly and helpful staff. Totally amazing. We can't wait to return

Nothing!

The guest house was in a perfect position in the middle of the village, the room was excellent, spotless clean, very comfortable bed and had everything we needed. Lesley and Colin were perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble, and the breakfast each morning was excellent, with plenty of choice, set you up for the day.

Nothing, everything was perfect, we couldn't find fault at all.

The location was perfect. Right in the heart of Shanklin village. Easily accessible to the High Street with restaurants, bars and the Theatre. The breakfast at the Birkdale Guest House was the best we have ever had.

There was nothing we didn't like.

it was a lovely place to stay very very clean

the couple that run the guest house are amazing people I would highly recommend anyone to stay there we will definitely be going back
