Nothing!

An outstanding bed and breakfast that you would find extremely hard to beat! So clean, well presented, great facilities including tea, coffee and water in your room, and an outstanding breakfast! The Appley Lodge is only 10 mins walk from the Espalande, restaurants, coffee shops, Shanklin Old Town shops and much more. Gareth and Wendy absolutely look after you, with so many nice touches and help if required at all times. They really do make a difference and it does make a real difference with two such warm friendly and hosts. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL - you will not find a better bed and breakfast in the Isle of Wight.

Nothing! It was wonderful! I think the only snag was human error because mum worked it out on the last morning but I struggled to regulate the temperature in the shower. I thought it was just lots of people trying to shower simultaneously so it got cold, but as I say - mum worked it out on the final morning!

The location was optimal for everything, but Shanklin is one of my favourite places on the island and you’re right next to the front (lift or small walk down) The breakfast was delicious - highly rate the mushrooms! Exactly what we needed. Definitely will return! Gareth and Wendy were so good to us, so friendly and excellent company. Very considerate of everyone’s needs and very genuine.

The bathroom was a little crapped but more than adequate for our stay

Breakfast was excellent, location was great close to the sea front and only a few minutes walk from the old village. Gareth and Wendy were excellent hosts and were very helpful throughout our stay. Gareth also got us a good discount on our ferry crossing which was a big help.

Absolutly nothing to report.

Great Location and easy to walk into town and to Shanklin beach. Very clean and well maintained B&B which is probably one of the best we have ever stayed in. Wonderful breakfast with plenty of choice. Gareth and Wendy couldn't do enough for us and we will definatly be returning. A real bonus is the dedicated parking.

Great location, convenient for all key amenities and very close to Shanklin beach and the seafront promenade. Gareth and Wendy’s hospitality was second to none - amazing hosts who made us feel very welcome. We booked three rooms for our party, which were all well appointed, cozy, clean and the fridges in double rooms were definitely a bonus. Very comfy beds and big fluffy towels were an extra nice touch. Breakfast was excellent - tasty, generous and varied. We were very happy with our stay at Appley Lodge and would definitely look to return. Highly recommended !

Nothing. No complaints.

Excellent communication from the owners. Helpful and considerate. Welcome was excellent. Parking was organised and made life very easy. Very good room, well equipped and quiet. Owners very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Hotel well placed for access to the town centre and seafront. Hotel provided lists of restaurants and advised on what to see. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay with good hosts that I will recommend.

Fantastic place, in a great location. Five minute walk to Old Shanklin Village and a ten or so minute walk to the beach. A superb breakfast helps to start the day - fresh fruit, fruit juice, freshly ground coffee, full English and toast (there are other options). Rooms are clean with lots of storage space. Excellent value for money. The hosts, Gareth and Wendy, are so nice and helpful. Really added to our stay.

There was nothing we didn't like.

The location was great within 10 minutes walk of the beach, local village, pubs and restaurants. The Appley Lodge was a very peaceful pleasant base for our weeks holiday. The facilities were great and Gareth and Wendy were superb hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed the variety of breakfasts offered and this set us up for day if site seeing. When we returned we enjoyed a nice cuppa sitting on the veranda.
