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.

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!!!

We had a large , comfortable en-suite room on the ground floor. There was a good choice of food for breakfast, always beautifully cooked and presented. Sally was a friendly, helpful host and we will definitely stay at Snowden house if we return to the island.

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.

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.
