The hotel is absolutely lovely. The staff are all very kind and helpful. The included breakfast was absolutely delicious with many different offerings. Our room has enough space to sleep 4 and the en suite is just perfect. Waking up to the sun rising over the cliffs outside our window just sets you up for a fabulous day. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic. This B&B is exceptionally good for families with children. The hosts are kind. The property is quiet and meticulously cared for. There is a games room and a big selection of toys and games. There are good breakfast options for children. We have never been to a B&B in the UK that was as welcoming to families with children as the Royson.

Just returned from a lovely stay at the Royson. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners and loved all the nice little touches that has been thought off throughout. The room was tastefully decorated and breakfast delicious, with attentive service and nothing too much trouble. The location was ideal for us, right in between Shanklin and Sandown, a 20 mins or so stroll into the Old Village along the coastal path with beautiful views (highly recommend a pit-stop at The Hideaway bar and restaurant just 5 mins walk away from the B and B), and also good access via the nearby steps down to the beachfront.

Very friendly and informative owners. Great location - easy walk to Sandown and Shanklin. Good breakfast with lots of choice. It was nice to have a lounge area with refreshments. Shower temperature was very inconsistent and never got hot enough. Sound travels from other guest rooms. Room was small to manoeuvre around. Overall good value though.
