We stayed as a couple over the Easter weekend. The Birkdale is a fantastic B&B located literally a stone's throw from the old town part of Shanklin. The house and rooms are very spacious, tastefully decorated and impeccably clean. Lesley & Colin were great hosts, with comprehensive communication in the lead up to our stay. They cooked a great breakfast (it's cooked to order and there is a large selection/menu) - so good in fact, that one day we couldn't eat a full lunch later in the day! All in all, a great place to book - thoroughly recommended!

Lesley and Colin always give you a warm welcome. Breakfast is always a great start to your day. Nothing is too much trouble for them.

The Birkdale is fab-u-lous, we wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Lesley, Colin and Sarah are so lovely, and always make us feel so welcome, it really is like going home. Lesley’s breakfasts are just THE best, her fruit salads are a meal in themselves, especially with the homemade yogurt…but we always have something else from the humongous menu(be rude not to); Sarah keeps everywhere to the highest standard of cleanliness, and Colin is the greatest “dumbwaiter with a milk float” you’ll ever find. Nothing is too much trouble. We really enjoy every moment we are there.
