  Wonderful
So happy to be back here for our 18th stay. Room was spotless, cosy and had plenty of supplies - toiletries, tea, coffee, water and biscuits! We are always made very welcome and soon settle in. Our 4 night stay was peaceful and the breakfasts were superb, every day there are juices, fruit salad, variety of cereal then the choice of cooked breakfast with toast jam/marmalade all washed down with tea or coffee. It sets you up for the day perfectly. Mike and Sally are wonderful hosts and have plenty of knowledge of the Island and always can help you discover the endless choices of what you can do from a simple walk, classic places of interest, where to go for fantastic meals....just ask them, There is also a lot of useful leaflets from many of the attractions available for you to take. I highly recommend Snowdon House and am already looking forward to my next visit. Please see some of my previous reviews which show various pictures of what is inside and the various breakfasts that we have had over the last 15 years of staying here! Thank you Snowdon House for everything you do to make all your guests feel so welcome. See you soon,

  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!

  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.

  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!!!

  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.

  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.

  Breakfast is very good, with plenty of food and options. Really friendly owners. Rooms were very clean and well-appointed. We were close to the beach, about a 5-10 minute walk away. The view from our room was nice, we could see the church and the hills. Convenient parking also. Overall an amazing stay!

  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 definitely

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
