    My partner and i were here last month and although i am not in the habit of giving hotels a 5 star rating, i can not do anything else but that. Okay, if you have to seek something negative then you are bound to find something (like any other hotel) but what makes a hotel worth while are not the stones and furniture but the owners and their hospitality. And this is something in which they excel. Highly recommended!

    tiny bathroom with sink in the bedroom instead in the bathroom, no mirror in the bathroom, hot in the room even the weather wasn't that great, wooden bedframe which isn't suitable for such a small room because you banging your legs on it when you passing by.

    pool table and great family games available in the lounge which was nicely decorated, helpful and friendly owners, car park, great location, tasty breakfast, tea in the room,

    The bathroom was a tad small, the shower was a bit small in our room, but that's the way it goes, I need 2 diet!

    The hosts were fantastic people, genuine and kind, comfortable bed, great breakfast and an excellent location, quiet at night too even made us a packup when we left 👍

    Started off a little uncomfortable as the hosts said they had to cancel their plans as we were late in checking in. However the rest was ok.

    Lovely breakfast as per our request.

    frankly....there was nothing we didn't like but being keen gardeners, some pots of colour on the path from the rear carpark to the side entrance may have helped those departing for home not feel so sad to be checking out.

    Perfect central location in the old town. Immaculately clean and definitely very "homely". Warm friendly welcome from the hosts. Great breakfast. A perfect environment to relax in and a perfect base for exploring the amazing island.

    Ideal location just off Shanklins main street. Friendly hosts. Very clean & well organised establishment. Onsite parking. We will definitely return.

    I found the bed a little too soft but maybe that's me and I would have liked a little more variety for breakfast such as fruit, fresh or tinned. they have grapefruit which is fine but if you take statins you cannot eat so maybe prunes or tinned fruit would have been an alternative.

    Claire and Bos are friendly hosts with a very warm welcome which continued throughout our stay. very helpful when I requested a lighter duvet, everywhere was lovely and clean with an enjoyable breakfast.

    If there was anything to complain about I would, but there isn't. As a none to confident driver, I found the drive way narrow and parking difficult, but much larger cars than ours managed to negotiated the drive way and parking spaces.

    The room was very clean and tidy and all the usual accessories were available. The breakfast was varied and tasty and a traditional choice was available. The location was great for doing things in and around Shanklin.

    A well ran, friendly and clean place in a perfect location! Just han an excellent 4 night stay at the Braemar. The owners were more than helpful and keen to see that their guests get the most from their stay, offering good advice and a cracking breakfast too! The location was perfect too in a quiet street off the main road but still close to good pubs and restaurants and not too far from the beach either
