THe breakfast was good, my friend enjoyed the full English and I enjoyed the berries on my muesli. We had a small double with en-suite each, both of which were as advertised. The room was well kept and the linen clean. The location was marvellous being a short walk from the Old Village with its independent shops and many eateries. There is a lift which operates all day all week which takes out the steep walking down to the beach.

I didn't realise how high above sea level that Shanklin was. It is a perfect place for Singles or Couples but not so easy for Families that want the beach every day.

Staff were very considerate they had to check us in late despite their cut-off time, very pleasant and welcoming.

The Braemar is a lovely hotel, efficiently ran by Claire & Boz who are super friendly and helpful. The rooms have everything you will need and are very comfortable and well kept. The bar & games room is a great addition although it was locked and closed by the time we had returned in the evening. Breakfast couldn't be faulted, a great choice, well presented and cooked perfectly . . thoroughly recommend the Braemar to anyone who is looking for a stay in Shanklin.

As the local pubs closed around 23:00 it would have been nice to have a nightcap and maybe a game of pool on the games room, but it was closed each evening on or return to the hotel.

Fantastic hosts, made us feel very welcome. The breakfast was lovely each morning with a wide variety of selections. Room immaculate and lovely outdoor terrace perfect for nice weather with the games room with a pool table an added bonus. Brilliant location right in the heart of Shanklin old village. We loved our stay and when we visit again we’ll definitely come back.

Nothing not to like.

Breakfast met my needs and the room was well equipped with a multitude of usb sockets+ I need not have brought any charges or adaptors. Bed comfortable but would have preferred a king size.

Would have preferred a king size bed! Lights in en suite were too bright and fan was noisy so was awoken when my partner visited during the night - she too when I visited!

Location was great and getting in and out of hotel was easy. Owners were very friendly and accommodating when arriving early and leaving bags etc securely before check-in so we could go for lunch and a walk. The breakfast was very good and a choice of full English or other options given

For some of our party they found the bed a bit small, but they are over 6ft tall

The breakfasts were excellent and the hosts were fantastic. The property is situated just off the main street in Shanklin within a few hundred yards of the lovely pubs .

The room was a little small but we were a very late booking and it certainly wouldn't put us off staying again. The decking round the property is a lovely place to sit out on an evening.

Great breakfasts Very hospitable hosts Good location handy for local restaurants

Three over 70's two with some difficulty walking - steps into the property tricky with cases. Bathroom adequate and clean but tight for space.

Perfect central location in the old town. Immaculately clean and definitely very "homely". Warm friendly welcome from the hosts. Great breakfast. A perfect environment to relax in and a perfect base for exploring the amazing island.

frankly....there was nothing we didn't like but being keen gardeners, some pots of colour on the path from the rear carpark to the side entrance may have helped those departing for home not feel so sad to be checking out.

Everything, especially Claire & Bos. They're a lovely couple and we're very friendly and welcoming and if you want any info on the island they will help you. The room was spotless and the beds very comfortable and breakfast was delicious and perfectly cooked. We will definitely stay at the Braemar again.
