Peaceful break

My wife and I had a lovely 4 night stay at Somerton Lodge. We were greeted by the owners, Anne and John who were great and very attentive. Anne gave us lots of local information upon arrival. The breakfasts were exceptional. The lodge was very peaceful and comfortable. We highly recommend Somerton Lodge for a relaxing stay. We shall return. Thank you Anne and John.

Reasonably Priced and a Friendly Welcome.

Somerton Lodge had a good parking area at the rear of the property. Anne & John were very welcoming and friendly. The location of the property was a little further out than we would have liked but still walkable. On check-in you have to say what time you would like breakfast and what you want to eat. Any changes to breakfast have to be made the day before. Wardrobe space was a little tight if you are packing for a week or more. Shanklin is a good base for seeing the island and this hotel was at a reasonable price.

Great stay in Shanklin

Had a great couple of nights here. Met at reception by the owner who was very friendly and very helpful. Showed us to our room which was a good size and spotlessly clean. Hotel is ideally situated in Shanklin Very close to the sights, beach and close to 2 bus stops so there was no need to use our car. Would definitely stay there again if going over to the island.

A great place to stay on the Isle of Wight

We had a lovely warm welcome by the owner and shown to our room. The room was well laid out and had plenty of storage space and a well stocked tea and coffee tray. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. Only really mild negative was that the walls were a bit thin and you could hear conversations, televisions etc! The breakfast was wonderful and kept us ticking over until the evening time. The owners couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. Absolutely brilliant place to stay and visit the local area. Being directly opposite a main bus stop really did help.
