This is our fourth stay at Harrow Lodge Hotel - like the staff, rooms, breakfast, the bar, but specially the location - all excellent. Thanks to the management team for keeping up the consistency.

Nothing much but unfortunately in these days of mobile phones, iPads, battery packs etc, it would have been nice to have a few more plug sockets or maybe an extension strip with 4 outlets. Our socket was behind the bed in Room 15, in Room 17 the socket was on the side wall away from the twin beds keeping in mind mobile phones are also used as alarm clocks these days. All good though 🙂

Rooms are simple but both clean and comfortable and at a price you simply can’t argue with! The staff are the highlight of this hotel. They could not be more welcoming and friendly to you or your pets. Our dogs felt right at home immediately as did we! Beautiful breakfast, full English included or any times from a full English that you’d like. The poached eggs were delicious. A huge choice of cereal is available which you can help yourself to. There’s also a toast machine with various types of bread and there’s jam, marmalade and honey for your toast. Porridge, croissants, fresh fruit and yogurt available at request. Fabulous view from the front of the hotel.

Only thing I can say is the pressure on the shower is a bit of an issue, it’s very low so there’s only a trickle of water however in the grand scheme of things it’s easily forgotten! Lovely hotel we will definitely return to.

Breakfast was delicious. Had lots of options. Staff very friendly and helpful. Bar had good views across Shanklin bay. The road outside was closed due to land slip so Road was quiet hence bar was reasonable quiet . Room very hot but hey it’s summer did have a fan in room being on ground floor meant you couldn’t leave windows open over night. Comfy beds very clean . Lots of plug sockets and and not a cramped room.

Bathroom, though clean it was very small and small door to enter it at an angle. Not meaning to be rude but a large person might struggle in there. Toilet really close to sink . One other thing every time I went to open doors to wardrobe and drawers the handle rings came off they might need to tighten them .

We had a lovely time at the Harrow Lodge Hotel, the location is exceptional, the lovely people that work there are very welcoming, we had a good tip about which roads where safer to cycle on from the nice man at the bar. We had drinks and dinner outside, and I found the view breathtaking. The full english breakfast was delicious, we were welcomed by a lovely young lady. Everyone was very kind to us. We were allowed to keep our e-bikes safely inside the building, and we really appreciated it.

The carrots at dinner were clearly frozen, which can be ok if only they wouldn't have tasted like they have been.

Brilliant location, friendly, helpful staff, everywhere was immaculately clean and tidy. Breakfast was great with good veggie and lots of GF options too. The room was small, but had plenty of storage and was quiet.

The shower had very little power and took ages to get warm and the cubicle was tiny. I'm not huge, but I had to leave the door open whilst I showered, because the 1st time I burnt my bum on the hot water feed tap. We'd have asked to move but they were fully booked, but even when we looked in one of the bigger rooms it still had a small shower.

The hotel was in the perfect spot, parking right outside, easy access to the beach and town. The staff were brilliant, polite, kind, friendly and attentive. Rooms were comfy and clean. Breakfast was first class and the meals we ate in the evening were wonderful. A nice bar and a terrace overlooking the sea. Highly recommended and would definitely go back.

Breakfast was great and staff were lovely. Everywhere was clean and welcoming. Lovely view very close to hotel, with a nice walk down to the beach.

Shower was very weak and took a while to warm up. Very compact bathroom, but served the purpose. Room was very hot, on warmest weekend of the year! Tried sleeping with window open but very noisy birds at 4.30am. However, fan was available.

Staff were all friendly and willing to help, my hairdryer in the room broke and they quickly sorted it for me, with no problem at all.

The shower was quite small, was fine for myself but my husband is 6ft 2 so found it quite a squeeze and we couldn't have a shower one morning because the water was cold or it would turn cold whilst we were in there, we just had a shower when we returned later in the afternoon, it didn't spoil our experience.

We were surprised that the Hotel was only a 2 star and would have easily rated it a 3. Our room was clean and bright with ample tea and coffee supplies. A lovely shower room with soaps and shower gels soft towels. Hairdryer and fan and ample hanging and storage for clothes. The variety of breakfasts was amazing and freshly cooked even 3 types of bread. The staff were so friendly and extremely helpful. Food in the restaurant was lovely so if the weather was too bad you had everything you needed on site.

Our bed was a double which was 2 singles pushed together which gave the feeling of a hump in the middle son you couldn't really lay together and was painfully soft.

Breakfast was lovely, music was a little too loud for that time in the morning.

I had dinner and a pint in the hotel, all good except for the barman telling Alexa to turn up the music. I'd been enjoying reading a book with my beer up until then, so I left. There are lively nosier bars on the sea front for those that want that, I ate at the Harrow hoping for a quieter experience.
