Excellent location on the Esplanade and within reasonable walking distance of the restaurants in the town. Our room was very large, beautifully decorated and clean and well stocked each day with water, tea and coffee. The owners Andy and Jo were exceptionally friendly and fantastic from the moment we pulled up into the carpark, coming out to assist with our luggage. Every day the breakfast selection that Jo expertly made swiftly to order was lovely, always with a special of the day to tantalise. Not to mention the delicious homemade pastries that were then offered every day to take away for later. Possibly all round one of the very best places we have stayed at. Andy spent some time when we arrived giving us ideas of places we may like to visit and where they were. Then wherever we went on the island during the week, Andy always had a great tip for places to see or eat whilst we were there. We can honestly say it was one of the best and most relaxing places we have ever stayed at.

Can’t fault anything at all.

From the moment we arrived at Shoreside Inn my partner and I were extremely pleased with the property, which was well kept from the outside unlike a lot of the other hotels in the area. We were greeted in the car park by Andy who carried our bags inside to check in. We were shown our room which I was say was amazing. We had a sea view balcony suite which was out of this world. The room was exceptionally clean. Great facilities in the room from tea, coffee, and a fridge which stored milk and water. We also had a surprise goodie bag of sweets too. Breakfast was amazing and nothing was too much trouble for Jo, who even made her own specials for breakfast and also pastries. One of the best places I have stayed where the breakfast is outstanding.

Nothing we liked everything about the property.

From start to finish Jo and Andy were the perfect hosts. The breakfast every morning was outstanding with Jo offering a daily special and freshly baked pastries to take away. Our room was beautiful, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. We especially loved the bath where you could look out at the sea. Andy was great at sharing his knowledge of places to visits and good restaurants to try. To finish we have to mention the great location, right on Shanklin seafront, but with its own private parking which was very useful especially when visiting Shanklin in August

Nothing

Andy and Jo were so welcoming and friendly. The entire building - entrance hall; stairway; landings, and breakfast room were impeccably presented. The room was gorgeous - the beds were comfy; the shower was large and had super water pressure, and little touches such as mint & green teas, and fresh milk and water daily in the little fridge (not to mention the arrival jelly beans!) made such a positive difference! The breakfasts were delicious, and a 'special' was offered each day which could be tailored to vegetarian requirements. The sausages were apparently "just right" (which is high praise indeed) and the bacon was also delicious. Apparently a request is going in on our second stay for those sausages and a "dippy egg" - just those on each day. Personally, the avocado toast and (perfectly) poached egg was beautiful. The Shoreside Inn is perfectly placed on the seafront, and the lapping waves were particularly soporific after a day spent playing crazy golf; eating icecream, and sitting in the sunshine watching the sea.

Nothing.

Wonderful. Incredible. AMAZING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ These are just few words to summarise our experience in Shoreside Inn. We can’t believe it’s a B&B because the quality they provide to their guests is beyond 5star hotel!! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Andy and Jo while our luggage was brought to our room. He gave us a map of IOW with all his recommendations from attractions to restaurants..especially the timetables of the island coaster which is very helpful to us travelling by foot. The location is superb since it’s just beside the summer arcade, bus stop (island coaster), and seafront. The room is spectacularly clean. As a nurse, I can’t help but be amazed how clean and neat everything is. We were also delighted with free jelly beans along with the beverages & toiletries which were topped up everyday. We booked the room with a balcony and the view is literally therapy. Having the sound of ocean waves wake you up with the seagulls is just 👌*chefs kiss*. Not to mention Jo’s cooking and pastries..oh to die for! I don’t usually finish my meals because of my small appetite but we can’t get enough of her breakfast. We were also offered by Andy some of Jo’s spectacular pastries to bring as takeaways on our way to Needles and on our last day. Their sweetness, friendliness, and warmth certainly made all the difference. “Our home is now your home” was written on their welcome board in the reception and we wholeheartedly felt that. Overall, the ambiance of the hotel is peaceful, fresh, and cozy..perfect for those who are really wishing for a well-deserved vacation. 💯 Booking with them for our anniversary is honestly one of the highlights we’ve had for this year. We truly wish they will be showered with blessings throughout the year and the years to come. Their existence is proof that humanity still has hope. 🥹🫶🏻 Thank you so so much again! Will definitely be going back soon 💗

We were greeted by the hotel owners, Andrew and Jo, and from the start they were very helpful and friendly. We had a sea view room which was spacious, clean, good storage and with tea and coffee making available (fresh milk everyday). The breakfasts were superb with a 'special' everyday plus a selection of the usual english breakfast. We were also treated to freshly made pastries to take away for later. Andrew was always on hand to ask directions and suggestions for travelling around the island and what to visit. Free on site parking was also a bonus as it is on the Esplanade. We had a really lovely short holiday and will definitely be going back for another break.

Only a suggestion, but a little more shelving in the bathroom would have been useful. There really was nothing we didn't like.

Our hosts Jo and Andy were so welcoming, really lovely. Andy gave us lots of information about the island and its amenities and places of interest.. The accommodation was exceptional very clean large modern rooms with stunning views. Everywhere was kept absolutely spotless and all those extra personal touches made our stay very special. The breakfast choice was excellent and cooked to perfection. The pastries freshly baked by Jo were delicious as were her homemade jams and marmalade. Jo and Andy were perfect hosts and we would highly recommend a stay at their place. Our next visit we wouldn’t stay anywhere else. It was absolutely superb.

All perfect

Was right across the road from the beach, next door to Amusements and a resteraunt. You can hear the waves crashing on the beach at night which is very relaxing. Andy and Jo will help with anything you need. Even offer plates and cutlery. If you order in food!

Mattress may have been a bit too soft but was still comfortable and had great nights sleep.

An early check was requested and upon arrival this was faciliated with a very warm welcome from the owners. Jo and Andy were exceptional hosts. Breakfast was amazing and could be adopted to ones requirements. As it was my first visit to the IOW Andy was a wealth of knowledge to assist with out days out. Room was spotless and comfy and welcoming.

I liked everything from the time I arrived until the time I left.

Driving into the private car park at the rear, we were met by the wonderful Andy and given a warm welcome, followed by him taking our bags inside. As we were checking in and given sound local advice on local pubs & restaurant’s, our bags were then quietly taken by (we assume Jo) up to our room. Then chaperoned up to our spotless, well equipped and comfortable room…with a fantastic view out onto the beach and a lovely balcony. Bottled water and fresh milk in a mini fridge and quality toiletries for the bathroom. A comfortable and quiet night followed by an exquisite breakfast, cooked to order and with the finest local ingredients. As we finished breakfast, we were then offered a choice of freshly baked pastries for us to take away for later. Wonderful touch. Overall, it’s the little things that make the difference. Well presented rooms and communal areas, excellent food…but what really makes the difference is the warm and friendly hosts. Andy & Jo epitomise outstanding customer service and have captured the fine line of being professional…but not overbearing. Also nice that they could take the time to sincerely chat, taking interest in their guests and also imparting their life long knowledge of island life and useful honest local opinions. We will definitely be back…as and when we can fit in another visit!

Only the fact that we weren’t able to stay longer!
