EXCELLENT Based on 104 reviews Posted on Sue DNovember 11, 2025 Lovely Lovely people that want you to enjoy your stay This place was an absolute gem, im fussy beyond belief. The room was immaculate, the breakfast was delicious, absolutely loved my poached eggs as did my husband with his full English...So friendly and helpful about the area ..I would without a doubt recommend this hotel, I will definitely return which is not my norm as usually I've been there and done it, this place stood out above and beyond...Thank you xxPosted on Jackie HAugust 29, 2025 Best B and B we have stayed in - ever! We stayed at the Snowdon with Sally and Mike recently and I don.t normally do reviews but this is an exceptional place to stay. Wonderful breakfasts and our room was spotless. We would certainly stay here again when we visit Shanklin and have no hesitation in recommending it to other people. Thank you for looking after us so well and hope to see you soon!Posted on Lilian HJuly 22, 2025 A lovely friendly comfortable hotel Well everything about this hotel is faultless. A warm welcome from Sally who made us feel at home straight away. We were delighted with our room, freshly decorated in calm colours, a comfy bed and a beautiful refurbished bathroom. All this and the place is spotlessly clean. Tea, coffee, biscuits and other little extras that we didn’t expect makes Snowdon House special. A wonderful choice for breakfast that would suit all requirements and beautifully cooked. The hotel itself is in a perfect location for all the amenities such as the old village, the beach, bus stops and the train station. We would not hesitate to book again after a fantastic relaxing week. We will be recommending Snowdon House to our friends. Thank you to Sally and Mike for making our time on the Isle of Wight special.Posted on jules42NewburyJune 17, 2025 Fantastic So nice to be back here for our 21st stay........as always the warmest welcome, the most beautiful, clean room with a new fitted bathroom! Breakfasts for 4 days ahead were already ordered on my part as always have the "muffins" as the poached eggs are always peprfect, Mr H had full english, american, omelette and "muffin" we both had fruit juice/tea/coffee/toast with fresh fruit salad too so plenty to set us up for adventures taken during the day. Excellent value!!! Please see my previous reviews for more info and pics of the room (11) ground floor and some of the lovely breakfasts we had. If you like to see a sunrise it is so worth getting up and taking a 5 min stroll to the cliff top or even go down down the the beach (picture attached taken at 0515 14.5.25) We will be back, go you will really enjoy it!!!Posted on Shaney GSeptember 2, 2024 Gem of a place Wonderful hotel..hospitality amazing..a great location near to the beach and the old town..our room was lovely and so was the dining room and residents lounge..sally and Mike were very friendly and helpful..you would be mad not to check this hotel out..definitely going back therePosted on jules42NewburyAugust 18, 2024 Excellent!

Always a pleasure and looking forward to returning again next year (if not before). Very highly recommend and such great value for money, nicely situated just a 5 min walk from town or beach. Thank you Snowdon House for a superb holiday.Posted on DebbieJuly 11, 2024 Really relaxing Had a lovely stay with friends at the Snowdon for a short break. The rooms were very comfortable, clean and spacious with a comfy bed. Breakfast was cooked fresh to order each morning with lots of choice on the menu. Excellent Eggs perfectly done with the full English. The hotel is very near to the cliff top path with great view of beach below and easy access to the lift if you don’t want to walk. Sally & Mike are full of information about the island and places to visit if you ask and there are lots of information leaflets if you need inspiration. We went to Osborne house which was a great day and interesting then relaxed with a meal overlooking Shanklin beach . Thank you for a smashing stay.Posted on RoebuckQNovember 12, 2023 Ticked all the boxes This is a delightful guest house in the heart of Shanklin. It is located in a prime position, close to both the cliff top for access to the beach, while also being a very short walk to the town centre. It is superbly run by the charming proprietor, Sally. The breakfasts were cooked to order and very enjoyable. The highlight however has to be the bedrooms. I was fortunately to be in room no.4 and it was quite stunning, presumably refurbished fairly recently. All in all an excellent guest house that we will be sure to return to.Posted on LeeseSeptember 1, 2023 Fabulous! Spotlessly clean, a lovely large airy room serviced every day, great shower, delicious breakfasts, parking, wifi, friendly hosts, all for a very reasonable price - what more could you ask for? Thank you Mike and Sally for a wonderful stay!Posted on jules42NewburyAugust 21, 2023 Never go anywhere else!! We have just had our 20 something stay at Snowdon House, we simply love coming here. Our room was immaculate, the breakfasts were simply fantastic.....we were spoilt for choice as always!! See my previous reviews for more info!! Really lovely to feel at home from the second we arrived, never disappointed only when its time to pack up and say goodbye!! Until next time Thank You Snowdon House!! x Also a special mention of thanks that about 2 hours after we had "left" I got a call on my mobile as the owners knew we were still on the Island to say I had left something behind so I was able to go back and collect it which saved the bother of getting it back to the mainland via post etc really appreciated that :) 10/10 visit
EXCELLENT Based on 24 reviews Posted on Margaret Thomas There is nothing negative about this B&B. Very clean, lovely friendly hostel. Will definitely stay here again. 6 mins walk into Shanklin old town where there are loads of good places for afternoon tea and evening meals that are scummy. And 5 mins down to a pretty beach area. Ideal for children. Five stars definitelyPosted on The AAMan Perfect B&B managed by friendly hosts. Rooms are good sized and serviced daily. Only minor issue is the shower is gravity fed and as such water power cannot be boosted. Breakfast is cooked to order and well presented. Great place to stay with only a couple of off road parking spaces but additional free parking on the street in the local area. Fully recommend giving the place a try.Posted on Denny Alford We stayed here in July and we had a really lovely stay. The owners were brilliant. There was so much choice for breakfast and the rooms were beautifully decorated and so clean. Would certainly go back in the future.Posted on paul lee Amanda and I recently stayed the week and had a fabulous time. The room and en suite were lovely, and the breakfasts must be award winners! The hosts were very welcoming, and we will definitely be going back again, hopefully sooner rather than later. Thank you so much. Amanda & Paul xxPosted on Sally Price Lovely room that was clean and tidy. The location to the beach was spot on. The breakfast was fantastic and the hostess Sally was lovely.Posted on Suub B This was a real find for himself and I, the room was spotlessly clean, bright and airy the en-suite was modern and again spotless. The very enjoyable full English breakfast was cooked by Mike and served by Sally the owners, who were very hospitable and friendly. The hot and cold drinking supplies were replenished every day as well as servicing the room. All in all a very enjoyable three day visit, wished we had booked for longer. Thank you Mike and Sally.Posted on John Passmore Everything was just right. Lovely hostess, great room and delicious breakfast. The location is ideally located between the beach and the village.Posted on Neil Baker Beautifully presented, a warm welcome close to the village centre. Very happy...Posted on john stemp Perfect 👌
