    Nothing.

    Andy and Jo were so welcoming and friendly. The entire building - entrance hall; stairway; landings, and breakfast room were impeccably presented. The room was gorgeous - the beds were comfy; the shower was large and had super water pressure, and little touches such as mint & green teas, and fresh milk and water daily in the little fridge (not to mention the arrival jelly beans!) made such a positive difference! The breakfasts were delicious, and a 'special' was offered each day which could be tailored to vegetarian requirements. The sausages were apparently "just right" (which is high praise indeed) and the bacon was also delicious. Apparently a request is going in on our second stay for those sausages and a "dippy egg" - just those on each day. Personally, the avocado toast and (perfectly) poached egg was beautiful. The Shoreside Inn is perfectly placed on the seafront, and the lapping waves were particularly soporific after a day spent playing crazy golf; eating icecream, and sitting in the sunshine watching the sea.

    Wonderful. Incredible. AMAZING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ These are just few words to summarise our experience in Shoreside Inn. We can’t believe it’s a B&B because the quality they provide to their guests is beyond 5star hotel!! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Andy and Jo while our luggage was brought to our room. He gave us a map of IOW with all his recommendations from attractions to restaurants..especially the timetables of the island coaster which is very helpful to us travelling by foot. The location is superb since it’s just beside the summer arcade, bus stop (island coaster), and seafront. The room is spectacularly clean. As a nurse, I can’t help but be amazed how clean and neat everything is. We were also delighted with free jelly beans along with the beverages & toiletries which were topped up everyday. We booked the room with a balcony and the view is literally therapy. Having the sound of ocean waves wake you up with the seagulls is just 👌*chefs kiss*. Not to mention Jo’s cooking and pastries..oh to die for! I don’t usually finish my meals because of my small appetite but we can’t get enough of her breakfast. We were also offered by Andy some of Jo’s spectacular pastries to bring as takeaways on our way to Needles and on our last day. Their sweetness, friendliness, and warmth certainly made all the difference. “Our home is now your home” was written on their welcome board in the reception and we wholeheartedly felt that. Overall, the ambiance of the hotel is peaceful, fresh, and cozy..perfect for those who are really wishing for a well-deserved vacation. 💯 Booking with them for our anniversary is honestly one of the highlights we’ve had for this year. We truly wish they will be showered with blessings throughout the year and the years to come. Their existence is proof that humanity still has hope. 🥹🫶🏻 Thank you so so much again! Will definitely be going back soon 💗

    Only a suggestion, but a little more shelving in the bathroom would have been useful. There really was nothing we didn't like.

    We were greeted by the hotel owners, Andrew and Jo, and from the start they were very helpful and friendly. We had a sea view room which was spacious, clean, good storage and with tea and coffee making available (fresh milk everyday). The breakfasts were superb with a 'special' everyday plus a selection of the usual english breakfast. We were also treated to freshly made pastries to take away for later. Andrew was always on hand to ask directions and suggestions for travelling around the island and what to visit. Free on site parking was also a bonus as it is on the Esplanade. We had a really lovely short holiday and will definitely be going back for another break.

    Our hosts Jo and Andy were so welcoming, really lovely. Andy gave us lots of information about the island and its amenities and places of interest.. The accommodation was exceptional very clean large modern rooms with stunning views. Everywhere was kept absolutely spotless and all those extra personal touches made our stay very special. The breakfast choice was excellent and cooked to perfection. The pastries freshly baked by Jo were delicious as were her homemade jams and marmalade. Jo and Andy were perfect hosts and we would highly recommend a stay at their place. Our next visit we wouldn’t stay anywhere else. It was absolutely superb.

    Everything was perfect. The room was huge with a big balcony and sea view. We had everything we needed in the room, bathroom and balcony. The hosts were great, offering us information about the island, what to do in the evening and where are the best places to just have a relaxing walk. The breakfast was delicious, with us being very pleased with the vegan and gluten free option. The parking is also safe and large enough for everyone.
