The Birkdale is great, the rooms are spotless, the breakfast and the welcome is second to none. Lesley and Colin with Sarah make you so welcome nothing is to much trouble why would you go anywhere else ? We wouldn't

Close to Shanklin village shops plus a good selection of places to eat. The island attractions are to many to list. The steam railway and Godshill model village are well worth a visit.

We first booked a stay at the Birkdale soon after Colin and Lesley took control. We were so impressed with the comfortable and spotless room, wide selection of breakfast availability and the general decor and cleanliness of the whole Guest House, that we would never have a need to look elsewhere for a place to stay on the island. After numerous further visits, this feeling has not changed one bit! Our latest break was from 6th to the 10th of October. Colin and Lesley, together with Sarah offer an excellent and professional service to all of their guests - just look at all the five-star ratings!

At the Birkdale, you will find various magazines, booklets, flyers and notices of things to do on the island. Colin, Lesley and Sarah could also help, if you are a new visitor.
