Cooked breakfast had good choices & was nicely cooked. There was a lovely garden room & pretty garden to relax in as well as the lounge, we didn't actually use the lounge. The bed was nice & comfy. Being able to put a couple of items in their fridge was very useful for us. Martin, the owner was very pleasant, chatty & gave advice on places to eat out. Lots of easy parking on the property, which is a bonus when in a town.

Unfortunately, Martin was there alone as Vera was away. He was working on phone & PC & I had to find him to say we were leaving, where he then asked if we needed to pay (I had paid in advance), hoped we had a good break & went back to working. I would have told the person on the phone to hold on, then got up & seen us out properly. It felt like we were less important.

The location is great, close to the beach, shops and the village, plenty and fresh cooked breakfast . The hosts Vera and Steve were great, they care about your stay and very helpful if you need anything, they were very kind. Very reasonable price, the bed was very comfortable, the room was not big but cosy and clean , very relaxed atmosphere, nice garden and exceptional and interesting Gothic Revival Victorian Architecture style of the building. A nice and good place in Shanklin, or on the Island to stay and explore . Shanklin is a beautiful coastal town, with many interesting places to visit, apart for its great beach and seafront attractions and pubs, the Old Village with their pretty thatched cottages, Pencil Cottage, Pink Cottage with its lovely Fairy Garden, Shanklin Chine and its hotel were Victorian couples used to spend their honeymoon, Fisherman Cottage , Rylstone Gardens, Big Mead pond , nice walk to Bonchurch, Devil Chimney, Wishing Seat and the waterfall on the beach on the way to Luccombe just to mention some.

Everything was fine. I couldnt find fault ,

Excellent breakfast and on both occasions lovely and hot. Everything was cooked really well and although you needed to order in advance, which I guess might not be to everyone's liking, it meant that the food was on the table almost immediately - a definite bonus. Both the bedroom and bathroom were beautifully decorated and tastefully furnished. It was a really good size and the bed was super comfy and super large. Excellent evening meals and the crumble was superb, needed to share though, it was huge! Staff were very friendly, especially the landlady, and very helpful. All in all a fab place to stay and well situated for access to other areas of the island.

Only one tiny gripe, sorry, a shelf in the shower would have been useful.

It was easy to find and there was lots of space to park. Access was easy and you could come and go as you please. Hosts were warm and friendly and welcoming. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and it was a quiet location. Vegetarian breakfast was great!

Although it’s totally personal taste, the sausages in the Full English breakfast weren’t to my liking - Richmond style versus meaty butchers style. But other than that it was a fabulous stay! Bathroom en-suite was tiny but it was fully functional to use so not an actual issue. Just something to be aware of.

Friendliness of host, Martin. Easy parking, great location for me, for Shanklin Old Town with its' pubs and eateries. Room was ideal, as a single in a single room. Shower great, provisions good and replenished when needed.

The towels could have been a bit softer, certainly the hand towel. A bit sandpaperish... Had I asked I'm sure Martin would have provided a dinner plate for me...and I could have used the dining room for my 'takeaways' but I didn't ask so ate in my room...which was ok but not ideal. My fault.

Great little hotel with only about six rooms all of which are En-suite. Good breakfasts given by the owners served at two communal dining tables. So you can get to know the other guests a bit better over breakfast. About a 5 min walk into town centre. Hosts superb and very helpful, couldn't be more friendly.

Can't really say there was any faults. Rooms a little on the small size perhaps and as it is a converted house the rooms are split up between upstairs and down. But I'm being hypercritical.

Vera is a great host. She is very, very helpful and friendly. The cooked breakfast was good. We enjoyed the nice garden behind her house very much. Even for our van the parking place was big enough and there was enough space for parking a car for each room. This is necessary, because there is nearly no parking at the street with all the cars. Walking distance to the old town and to the beach is okay from her b & b.

The room was a little bit small, but okay and very clean.

Beautiful building, ample parking, location is closer to everything than you think. The hosts were the best I’ve ever encountered at any accommodation, you could chat with them all day. The breakfast is lovely, the hosts went well above and beyond to cater for allergies.

Nothing at all.

I can highly recommend Knights Rest. From the moment I arrived Vera made me feel welcome. She is a lovely woman and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent host! There is an excellent choice for breakfast. The full English was very nice. Carol who serves breakfast is also a lovely woman and again nothing is too much trouble. My room was lovely. It was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. I stayed for 7 nights and I did not want to leave. Do not hesitate to book. There is also a car park which is a big plus. It is the perfect location. It is a 5 minute walk to the main shopping street and 10 minutes to the beach in the opposite direction. I am going to book for 2 weeks next year. Thank you Vera for everything. I am looking forward to seeing you again.

Nothing

Breakfast was very good. Location good, near to the beach, shops, restaurants. Plenty of parking space. Vera and Martin were very friendly , warm and welcoming. A place of character. We enjoyed our stay very much and would stay there again

There was nothing we didn`t like. One suggestion is to have a toaster in the breakfast room instead of asking for toast. This is not a complaint though!
