We received a great welcome with tea and coffee. For breakfast there was a good choice of cereals, juices and yogurts. Lovely fruit salad was available every morning with wide variety of fruit.There was a choice of milks, bread and there was vegetarian options for the full English breakfast. Also a good choice of teas as well as great coffee. Service was good and you were asked how many rashers of bacon, sausages, tomatoes etc that you would like. The room was comfortable and had plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The bed was very comfortable and cosy. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and also very knowledgeable about the area and what's on, good places to eat etc. There was also lots of venue leaflets available as well as maps and even bus timetables.

Ideal spot for 5 on bikes from ages 28 to 61 to visit Needles and Castle Great breakfast and nice appointment of B&B Great double room #3 Great area to sit outside and use honesty bar at great prices 10/10. Big fan in room and large opening windows. All other chaps in the party enjoyed Simon and Jonathan are great hosts with a nice friendly manner but always professional Had a parcel delivered instead of lugging down on bike and we're happy to receive and resend. Great place super Father & Son Team that works Kind regards Paul H Canterbury Bike Fish & Chips Gang

Time went to quick

We stayed at The Avenue for 3 nights and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The breakfast was absolutely delicious – fresh, hearty, and the perfect way to start each day. What truly made our stay special were Simon and his son Johnathan, who welcomed us with such warmth and kindness. The hotel itself has a lovely vintage charm, full of character and cozy touches that makes it feel all the more inviting. It added a unique flair to our stay that we absolutely adored. Highly recommended!

There ain't a single bad thing to say about this place and the people

The breakfast was cooked fresh when you ordered every morning, fresh fruit, juices, yogarts cereals also Available as well. The room was clean and comfortable with plenty tea coffe hot choclate and biscuits, towels were lovely white and soft, the entire property was clean, room made up every morning Dad and son could not do enough for you even made us a pot of tea when we arrived and very knowledgeable when we asked questions where to visit etc

I do not think there was anything not to like at this property would definitely return and recommend

Having not been to the Isle of Wight since primary school (over 30 years ago!), it was a bit of a lottery picking somewhere to stay. I can honestly say that The Avenue did not disappoint! Simon & Jonathan were incredibly welcoming and spent a lot of time with us when we first arrived sharing all their local knowledge of the island and gave us the lowdown on the best places to visit. Our room was on the first floor and was very comfortable, very quiet and very clean with plenty of storage space as well as in-room tea and coffee making facilities (mugs were changed every day). Breakfast was superb - a lovely selection of cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurts and fruit juices and the choice on the hot menu was second to none. The location of the B&B was very handy - it is well within walking distance of Shanklin town and in the next street is a very good Chinese restaurant. Shanklin itself has all the shops and eateries you could need/want and very good transport links to the rest of the island. Lots of off road parking - we always managed to get a space at the front of the B&B, however there was no shortage of on street parking too. A great selection of very good priced drinks and snacks available in the bar in the evenings too. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable holiday with exceptional hosts, thank you - see you next year guys!

Nothing - our stay was so good, we've already booked a return visit for next September!

We LOVED everything. Our hosts were 1st class, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was very large, clean and well presented, as was the bathroom. The bed was huge and very very comfortable. The breakfast choices were way above standard. For cooked breakfast you could have what you wanted from the menu and it tasted excellent+. And cooked to order. Plenty of car parking on site plus street parking is freely available.

Nothing to dislike in any way. Can't recommend it highly enough.

The hospitality was excellent, we were offered a drink upon arrival and helped with our bags. Throughout the stay we were given lots of recommendations for places to visit and restaurants. The cooked breakfast was delicious every morning, and there was also a lovely fresh fruit salad available. The room was clean and spacious and the bed was comfortable. We absolutely couldn’t fault anything and we will definitely be back in the future.

Nothing not to like!

Great hospitality and excellent breakfasts. Simon and Jonathan were great hosts and made us feel very welcome. Lots of information for exploring the island and a great selection of leaflets and maps

Room was good but the bed was rather lumpy and saggy on the right hand side. Bathroom was clean, but would benefit from a good steam clean round the shower area. Room was cleaned daily, but it seemed that this was just basic and not a full bed change or hoover. We were only staying for 5 nights so the room probably had a good weekly clean after the guests changeover.

We were really happy to stay there. Jonathan and Simon’s ( Son & dad) hospitality was exceptional and they guided us to find places according to our preferences. We could enjoy every minute of each day as most of the tourists’ places are close by. It’s definitely worth your money and breakfast was beyond the expectations. I definitely recommend this place and I am sure no one will regret being there.

Everything was ok.

The hosts are just so welcoming and attentive. Upon arrival they offered a drink and we sat outside having a chat and getting to know the area and hotel. We know the area really well. It was nice hearing their back story as well, added a personal touch. The room was lovely. Well decorated, spacious, with a nice bathroom. It had everything needed for the stay. The hotel itself has an honesty bar which is a nice touch and a lovely lounge with a beautiful leather L shaped sofa. It was so comfortable that we spent one nice on it chilling and doing some work. The bar prices are fair with a nice selection. Breakfast, just wow. I don't think I've personally ever had a better breakfast. Premium bacon and sausages with the most incredible scrambled egg. You'd be a fool not to try it. Unlike a lot of full English breakfasts, this one wasn't greasy or fatty. It was perfect. Location is perfect. A bus stop is about 2 minutes away, less than 5 to the train station, about 7 to the bus station, 5 to the cliff tops/beach, 7 to the town, and 10-15 to old Shanklin. I really can't complain about the location. As a couple that don't drive, it was perfect. Overall, it was the perfect stay. We'll definitely come back, even just for breakfast if they offered it!

The only thing I would fault, and really, it can't be helped and everyone is different, is the bed. This doesn't take anything from the rating at all. For us it was a bit too soft and towards the edge it feels like you're going to fall out, but we got used to it. We still slept well. We just like a firmer bed.
