    Fantastic breakfast, served with all the trimmings. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Well located in a quiet road that is close to the town, station and the beach is walkable. We received some great recommendations on places to visit.

    Nothing.

    Guest house with very welcoming hosts. Property very clean and our bedroom was very large and well equipped. Breakfast freshly cooked and was delicious. Very friendly hosts who go out of their way to make your stay very enjoyable. They have a wealth of knowledge about the island and nothing is too much trouble.

    Being two floors up with narrow, steep stairs and no lift.

    We were made very welcome on arrival, after their normal time though by agreement. Had a cup of tea provided and a sit down whilst hearing all about the hotel and facilities. Very spacious top-floor room with clean, modernised though small bathroom. Reliable efficient electric shower. Great freshly cooked full English+ breakfasts served with a smile and a chat.

    Breakfasts were very good with lots of choices and plentiful. Having downstairs spaces and the garden available was good and we made use of the reasonably priced honesty bar. Simon and Jonathan were exceptional hosts and made us feel very welcome. We will recommend to friends and return if on the Island again.

    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.

    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!

    We were more than happy with our stay at the Avenue.

    The location is in a quiet road, no sea views but only a short walk to the seafront. The hosts Simon and Jonathan are brilliant, able to give so much information, very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were lovely, good choice and plenty of it, fresh fruit every morning and any variation of an English breakfast you wanted, a great start to the day.
