Breakfast and Dinner with a view of the beach from the veranda. Seriously other than sitting on the beach unable to get closer!! Good food and a great selection of drinks with a cocktail happy hour in the week. Purchasing an IOW Car pass meant parking around the Island-and directly in front of the Waterfront Inn was never a problem , but suggest you download the PayByPhone App before you arrive and cannot prebook dates - easy to use.(then not running out before 8am to top up your car parking:) Great friendly staff at all times. Helpful with discounts for ferries. Very clean and comfortable beds. Good location for Shanklin and the old village a short walk up the hill. Seafront walking out to Shanklin, near amusements and an excellent icecream shop. Definately planning to stay again as a great base for touring.

We liked the warm welcome and the excellent greeting on arrival. The main guy “boss” helped us set up our extra bed in the King Size room overlooking the sea - really positive and helpful. (For our 8 year old - whilst we went and got dinner - came back and the bed was set up alongside the teddy bear on the bed) - and the room was exactly set up as in the pictures - The lady that served us for dinner “Sienna” was excellent throughout the whole evening and Recommended the curry (delicious!!!) we also had the Goats Cheese burger so special !!! Couldn’t find the burger any other place in the island we went !!! Misus had the pie which was delicious !!! Woke up to an amazing breakfast (included) and a walk on the beach whilst our food got prepared. Honestly the best!!! We loved it!!! THANK YOU and would 100% come back and will recommend !!!!
That we didn’t stay longer! ✨✨✨

The location is magical, right on the seafront. Being able to sit outside and eat breakfast was lovely. Breakfast was fabulous. So much choice. Fresh warm croissants , full English , juice , all coffees. The room was a great size . Plenty of tea and coffee. Smart TV. Nice little bed for our 6 year old. Ceiling fan and black out curtains are brilliant. Added fan / heater too. And bed side lights. And a miracle full size mirror. Well done !! Room was really clean , with lots of thought and care taken too. Nice touch leaving kitchen roll . Thank you. Staff friendly and helpful.
Wasn't too keen on seeing into the staff room outside, but not a big issue as only when the restaurant was open. Still had a sea view and could hear the sea ! Had to ask to have our room cleaned on day 3 as no toilet roll and was a bit dirty from making coffee etc. But was then cleaned beautifully. Down side of it being a busy restaurant is a mixture of staff , so didn't really get chance to thank anyone on leaving. Of course the car parking costs. But that's the greedy council.

Bar, restaurant and food was great. The staff were so friendly too. You couldn't beat the location of the hotel either. We would definitely come back.
The room was a little tired if Im honest but it definitely did the job and it was only for 1 night, so it didn't matter too much The scary bit was that the shower in our room went soooooo hot and there were no warnings about it. My husband had to jump out of the shower at one point to avoid being scolded. But we still had a really lovely time so thank you.

Waterfront Inn staff were welcoming and friendly. The outlook of the hotel onto a sandy beach was supurb. Breakfast was specially cooked and served to your table for you. Dinner was excellent and the food cooked to a very high standard. The main dinner meal menu was small, but each dish was beautifully cooked and served. We would definitely stay again and were sorry to leave the hotel.
Thinking about improvements ... I had a twin room which had a shower over the bath and the heat of the water in the taps was a bit erratic when having my shower. Because I am 77 and not good on my toes, I prefer a walk in shower, just to feel safer. This is a minor grumble though, as I understand it is difficult to modernise an old building.

Lovely basic room, just what we needed, staff were so helpful and accommodating, hairdryer isn't in the room so you need to ask for one, they even had an iron and ironing board we were able to use. Exceptional breakfast, just fab all round.
Only downside for us was the lack of plug sockets and I didn't take a mirror so couldn't see what I was doing drying my hair but it really didn't affect the stay at all.

Friendly, helpful, great food and ambience Lovely staff, good location , quiet, comfortable Easy parking
Room was super clean but basic - decor a bit tired but this didn’t spoil our stay We didn’t have full sea view ( we didn’t think to ask for this when we booked, so our fault) would ask if those rooms available if we booked again

Beautiful seafront location. Staff really friendly and helpful. The evening food was tasty and great value. Good choice on the breakfast menu. The coffee is excellent. Loved going to sleep to the sound of the waves breaking on the beach. Room was very clean, fresh and bright. Described as a budget room, excellent value. Location is great for exploring Shanklin old and new. We didn't need parking but plenty around (payable to IOW council.)
Nothing.
