The hotel is nestled in a tranquil setting surrounded by beautiful gardens and a park, offering a quiet and private escape. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated with thoughtful amenities, and overlook the stunning gardens. The service sets a high standard, making guests feel like friends rather than just hotel patrons. The location is ideal for exploring Shanklin and accessing the high street and beach. The dining options are varied and generous, though service was a bit slow at times. Overall, a relaxing and pleasant stay with excellent value for money.
