Having visited the Island on a number of occasions this is the best Guest House we have ever stayed in. Nothing is too much trouble. You are always guaranteed a parking space, the location is central, the rooms are spotless and the additional extras provided mean that you can really enjoy your stay. Amazing breakfast selection too.

Would highly recommend eating at the Griffin in Godshill and the Dairyman's Daughter in Areton. Cowes is worth a visit as is Yarmouth.

Colin and Lesley were fantastic hosts with great attention to detail, from the building/garden to the rooms and then the food. A lovely place to stay!

The Birkdale Guest House is perfectly situated in a quiet side road, two minutes from a lovely part of Shanklin. Plenty of pubs, tearooms and restaurants that are also fantastic buildings with thatched rooftops and scenic views.
