Having to come home!

We had a lovely stay at this quaint hotel. The hosts were friendly and extremely helpful, suggesting places to see and things to do. Breakfast was excellent and I would definitely recommend staying here. We will definitely be back.

It's always a pleasure to go back! Bernie and Leslie are some amazing hosts, the breakfast they serve in the morning is exceptional, and the location is all you need. Conveniently located 2 minutes by walk from the beach and the Esplanade (there are plenty of cafes and little restaurants) and 10 minutes by walk to the old city and couple of big supermarkets (including Lidl). The bar across the road (Charlie) offers you a drink in the evening and walking back toward the city there is a pizza place, a Chinese restaurant and a chip shop - all of them amazing. Highly recommended!

Our stay was too short, we should've booked a longer stay! Next time?!

We had a very warm welcome by the hosts Bernie and Lesley and were offered an upgrade of a family room with a sea view. Our stay was very comfortable and relaxing, with a superb breakfast each morning and our room serviced every day, with nothing overlooked, even the dog bed was tidied! There was a varied choice for breakfast, with dietary requirements and preferences catered for. Shanklin was a very pleasant town, with a clean and tidy esplanade along the beach and a very quaint old part of the town with many thatch roofed properties. The island had so many attractions it was hard to choose where to go and it was easy to travel around out of the busy season, so we could cover many places but we need to return to see more! Many thanks to the helpful, kind and friendly hosts and the conscientious Chambermaid.

Would of been good if you could order for in, as you can with quite a few hotels now. Also a seating area in the front gardens would of been great to just sit and chill with a drink watching the world go by.

The location was perfect for what we wanted. Great little walks along the seafront only a stones throw away. Breakfast was really good and liked how it was served as in all tables were waited on. Staff really friendly and helpful.

The shower was pretty poor, re the pressure and outflow. Having used a similar shower, in another b&b we use, it was disappointing. However, apparently it was to do with a lever on the shower head? The shower basin leaked around one area of the shower screen. Could have had more sockets, as opposed to extension leads. Again, even in some hotels, this can be an issue

The accommodation was pretty good. The breakfasts were excellent and hot! Well, where hot was required! It was good to have large bath towels. So often, in both b&bs and hotels, these as scrimped on. Barely get your 'bits' covered! Slight issue with the shower and a tap, in our room. Mentioned it to Bernie and he was going to fix it that day.

The toilet flush was leaking

A great place to stay. Especially location wise , we were lucky enough to get the room with a sea view. The shanklin beach is hardly 2 mins away by walk. The morning English breakfast was nice, filing enough till the lunch. Overall a cute , lovely place to spend few nights away from the hustle and bustle of city. Highly recommended.

Bernie and Lesley were the perfect hosts and run a lovely hotel. The room was lovely and comfortable and the breakfast was exceptional. The Curraghmore is in a great location and a short walk from the train station and sea.

Our room didn't have a Wi-Fi (wasn't a big issue for us but may be would be good if it was specified beforehand). The bathroom didn't have a shower either and the hand shower that was provided was bit clunky. Also due to old structure probably, the noises from other rooms were easily audible but just mentioning it for awareness of others, as not sure management can do much there.

Excellent location with amazing sea view from the window of our room. Easily walkable from Shanklin railway station or nearest bus stops. Leslie and Bennie were great hosts and even allowed us to stay till afternoon on the day of the checkout as that room was not booked for the night. Breakfast was adequate and rooms were very clean.

My room wasn’t dark at night, which made sleeping very difficult. Bed frame needs fixing, so does one of the night lamps. But I think, these are easy fixes, so they can be sorted quickly.

Great location. Nice view. Breakfast was nice and so were the hosts. I had a lovely spacious room, all for myself which was lovely!

Stayed in September 2022

WiFi only in some areas - needs revamping - updating. Perhaps an option for self service for things like tea, coffee , cereal and toast for breakfast which could make it easier on the host.

clean, spacious and lovely host - who are very attentive, helpful and friendly.

Tv did not have many channels working.

Bernie & Leslie were very accommodating and offered us a choice of 2 sea view rooms. Breakfast was extremely good with plenty of choice and Leslie cooked everything as you requested and nothing was too much trouble. If you ask for advice on how to get to somewhere Bernie helps you out.

Road to car park at the back was a bit rough..unadopted road..A personal thing for me was carrying pup up & down stairs but that wouldn't affect anyone else..There was a stair lift but I couldn't use it..wouldn't put me off going again..

Breakfast was very good...liked the idea I could take my young pup...

Hosts were great, very friednly and very quick to respond to messages before we got there. Breakfast was very well done. The rooms had all you needed and the location was very good for access to beach and main roads. Car parking was available.
