Newport Quay Bed and Breakfast

A good roof over your head with a lovely breakfast provides a great foundation for the perfect holiday. And for this reason I have to give Ethel high praise for looking after me, my wife and daughter, during our four-day stay at the Newport Quay B&B Hotel. The comfortable king size and single bed in our bedroom suited us well, including the en-suite bathroom - all clean and ship shape. Breakfast in this 17th century Grade II listed building was served before 9am and included cereal, a fruit juice, toast with jam and marmalade, tea, coffee, croissant, a yoghurt and fruit. Ethel gave us plenty advice on where to go and what to see. Because we purchased a tourist parking permit, we were able to park outside the hotel. The online permit also allowed us to park at council-run car parks by the beach and in our favourite spot, the picturesque Shanklin Old Village. There are council offices in the next street from the hotel, but don’t park there as the spaces are for staff only. Our room was on the first floor which wasn’t a bind, but if you are disabled, perhaps call them first. Being in the centre it was good for getting treats and we were just one street away from a lovely Italian restaurant. The oldest pub on the island was also a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Unlike other places which don’t allow three adults in one room it was good value for money. Although we were only there for a short while, it was sad to say goodbye. This place definitely ticked all the boxes.

Owner was very welcoming, room was nice and clean, fresh sheets, clean towels and price was very reasonable. Breakfast was nice enough. Fresh fruit, juice, cereal, yogurts, toast, fresh tea and coffee, more than enough to choose from. Ethel was very helpful and polite. Highly recommended.

Bedrooms and beds very clean and tidy Would I’d liked a hand rail near shower Breakfast was simple but fine
