Overall Ratings & Reviews The Swiss Cottage, Shanklin

2nd visit just a very good place to stay can't fault this facility very well looked after

This has to be the best place I have ever stayed in. Keith is a absolute gem and just genuinely a nice fella Christian is lovely aswell Stay here for the legends of a married couple that make you feel welcome and appreciated Thank you

Keith and Christine who own this hotel, are very friendly and welcoming. The property is in a perfect location. Short walk to beach, Old Village, transport. The place is spotlessly clean. There are extra toiletries in the rooms, ex. face cleansing pads. complimentary water on first night. Small fridge in room. Breakfast was good. I would recommend it.

First class breakfast and service. Poor car parking at front of property.

Well run, very tidy and clean, cannot thank them enough.

Had a really lovely stay . room was lovely and clean comfortable bed . Tasty home cooked breakfast . Good central location. Really good value for money . Hosts were friendly and helpful . Thank you for a lovely stay we had a lovely few days

My sister and I had a wonderful time on our stay at the Swiss Cottage premises were very clean and well maintained, breakfast was excellent and there was lots of choice in the menu all in all a wonderful stay Christine couldn't have been more helpful.

Overall ticks all the boxes . In some need of updating , decor , furniture . Mattress too soft for me , a topper or new one would be ideal. Parking was fine. An altercation with the owner and a guest at 1.30 am on my second night didn’t help my sleep . Whilst my room was next door to the entrance , and in all probability not the fault of the owner , regardless , there are other guests in the accommodation to consider. Overall decent for the price .

Really lovely Keith and Christine couldn’t be more helpful, would definitely go back

Our hosts went above and beyond to be helpful and kept us well-informed. Our room was most comfortable. Breakfasts were served speedily and offered us choices eg it's been a long time since I had such excellent kippers. I loved the way our hosts would advise us of the flattest route to where we wanted to go! We left with warm feelings for our stay on Isle of Wight

Excellent, they have really thought if everything . Parking was a bit difficult with it being tight

Swiss Cottage is a good quality, very clean well run Guest House/B&B. It is located close to public transport links and is within walking distance of the old town and esplanade/beach area. Keith and Christine have taken care to add little touches in the guest rooms like a bottle of water on arrival and a good selection of toiletries in case you had forgotten something. Our bed was very comfortable. We had everything we needed in our room and en-suite. The freshly cooked breakfast set you up for the day. We enjoyed a chat with Keith each morning at breakfast and if we wanted any help or information, all we had to do was ask. We would happily stay there again. Connie and John

Half way between seafront and Old Village. Able to access seafront and restaurants easily. Need to reserve table for food most evenings at restaurants.

Very well looked after, very clean and friendly and an excellent breakfast 😃😃

Bar was not open and was told we were not allowed to take a drink into our room. The bed was awful...too low and felt every spring. Did not sleep at all well. Water far too hot in the bathroom and not showing any warnings of scolding water. Shower over the bath was on a mixer pump which either scolded you or froze you before a comfortable temperature was obtained. The shower screen was fixed to the bath making it very difficult to get in and out of the bath.

Good little hotel, thanks

Great hosts, nice rooms, grand breakfasts. All positives and no negatives.

Wow, what an amazing, homely hotel. It felt like walking into a home with so many extra little touches that makes it so special. Keith and Christine and just so welcoming and will do anything to help. The room itself was exceptionally clean and tidy and plenty of room. The breakfast included each morning was ample and the selection available was very inclusive. Furthermore, they also both had amazing understanding of someone with 30+ allergies, and did everything to make it as inclusive as possible. As hosts both Christine and Keith were very welcoming and chatty, and were always helpful on where to eat out, or places to visit. But, they were also so lovely just to chat to, they are both such wonderful people and incredible hosts. When i return to the Isle of Wight, I most certainly be staying there again. I cant wait to return.

All good, not sure how it could be much better

Really enjoyed staying here - really good rooms. Need to contact the hotel ASAP if you are arriving after 7pm though to arrange a late checkin fee.
