We booked this B&B on the recommendation of our friends who moved to the Isle. They had stayed here before and their recommendation was on point. The owners were professional and helpful and we were able to park on the front drive. Checking in was a doodle and after arranging breakfast we were shown to our room on the first floor; it looked out at Regent Street. You can see the owners have not only invested in the property but they have given thought to what is needed when staying at a B&B. Not only is there plenty of storage space, a hairdryer and sewing kit but you get makeup removing eye wipes to sanitary bags. You can make a cuppa in your room with a huge range of teas and coffees including Decaffeinated coffee including plenty of milk and sugar For those - like me - we had a shower that was definitely not cold! You get shower gel and hand soap if you've forgotten yours! A TV is provided in the room which is a godsend for me because I don't sleep very well. The bonus is it had a timer I could programe so I could go to sleep with it on. Breakfast : Take your pick! They had fresh juice, tea and coffee and yes they had decaffeinated! My husband had an English fry up both days and I had poached egg on toast. There were cereals, today, fresh fruit and yoghourts. All in all... First class. Will we return? Absolutely!

It is a fabulous building with fantastic breakfasts, you can order your breakfast based on what you like. They have enough options for you and detailed to egg style and drink choices. The room has free biscuits, tea and coffee, with shampoo and shower gel samples. It provided very clean and tidy rooms, the experience here is fantastic and very comfortable!

I would have liked fresh towels at least once during our stay. We were told they would be changed every 3 days but this did not happen. Everything else was fine

The room was very clean and comfortable. We had a good choice for breakfast and the owners were pleasant helpful and businesslike. The situation was very convenient

From the moment we arrived, Mark and Caz were both very welcoming and couldn't do more to settle us in. We had traveled over for a wedding and the hosts were very accommodating in giving us extra time to get ready before coming in to clean our room. We had a fantastic Breakfast freshly made on our arrival to the dining room with plenty of choice. The room was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Beds are very comfortable and situated in a nice quiet area. Mark was also very helpful in assisting us to secure a ferry. The Richmond also benefits from off street parking which is great in Shanklin, as we would have had to park several streets away. Thank you to Mark and Caz again for a lovely stay and if/when we return to IOW we will certainly be booking in again. We had a lovely long weekend at a fantastic wedding and accompanied with our stay here made it a beautiful memorable weekend for us both, Ben & Teresa

Parking . We were lucky as early out every day and made sure we had a pole position to get out, but you have to jiggle cars about. No individual parking bays.

Nice a clean, room cleaned daily.

Not a thing, everything is spot on.

Home from Home, was warmly welcomed on arrival, shown to our very large room, everywhere is spotless, room & shower & separate toilet was really really good, comfortable bed & bedding. Mark & Caz was very hospitable and the breakfast each morning was cooked fresh as you come down, and was very tasty, not cheap bacon / sausage etc. Driveway parking was really useful and the location is perfect for Old Shanklin Village or beach. Certainly recommended and will return in the near future.

cant think of anything

We stayed at the Richmond Bed and Breakfast for the first week of July... Hadnt been to the Isle Of Wight for a long time, were a little apprehensive as we had booked there last room classed as a small room.. We were met by Mike on our arrival and were welcomed in with a few tips etc... The room was on the small side but we found it had everything we needed, we unpacked and put our bags in the car boot to give us extra room in the B & B.. The room had a double bed, TV kettle and various sockets, it had a few coat hangers on a peg and a little shelf, plues two bedside cabinets and a chest of drawers for all our belongings.. The bathroom was a nice size containing a shower, basin and toilet all ideal for our stay.. The room was light and airy and very comfortable... The parking was not a problem if we were blocked in just a polite chat with the other guests and all was arranged, great option if you have a car as pretty much the whole island is pay & display. The breakfasts were really good, consisting of fruits, yougurts, cereals etc.. then the hot option an excellent full cooked breakfast which if you asked could be changed to suit your needs... The hosts Mark & Caz were fabulous, couldnt do enough for us and were available as and when we needed them.. the house overall was in fantastic condition, all rooms were of freshly decorated and very smart throughout... all in all if you want a wonderful B & B to stay in whilst during your stay on the isle of wight you couldnt go wrong staying here.... we loved it...

Parts of Shanklin were lovely but there were some rundown property's too and parking is a problem in the town.

Very friendly and excellent value for money., Some nice tea rooms, restaurants and bars and a nearby lift down to the beach.
