After reading the reviews, we were quite disappointed with our room, which had just about enough room to walk around the bed (One at a time!) The shower room was tiny, the sink barely big enough to wash your hands in. As for filling the kettle, you had to keep filling a glass and tipping it into the kettle. Maybe we were just unlucky, as I think we got the last room available, but all these tales of spacious rooms were misleading. The bar looked nice but there was never anyone in it. Breakfast was OK, not spectacular (eg one mushroom and one rasher of fatty bacon!) and Sally was friendly enough, but on balance I don't think we would go back. We're not normally complaining types but this place didn't float our boat.

Management response from SnowdonIOW, Owner
(Management representative)
Sep 9, 2009
We take our guest views and opinions very seriously here at the Snowdon Guest House, we are disappointed that your stay with us did not meet up to your expectations, we are always improving our accommodation on an "on-going" basis including our Guest Rooms and Public area's.

We have in place a refurbishment plan for the room you stayed in and commented about, this refurbishment will commence over the winter period and will increase the overall size of the bedroom by over 100%.

These improvements will include amongst others a larger en-suite bathroom, solid Oak four poster bed and a large screen digital TV, these improvements together with the already stunning view out to St Martins Down will really appeal to our new and regular returning customers.

We sincerely hope you return to us once these improvements have been completed and give us a chance to "Float your Boat".

Mike & Sally Beston.

My wife and i had the pleasure of staying at Snowdon House for 10 days,from late June 2009.Sally,Mike and their daughter provide 1st class accomadation with a friendly atmosphere .Nothing could be faulted throughout our stay.The room we had,no.2,was spacious and very comfortable with a 2 seater settee as a welcome bonus.The bathroom was spacious,with an excellent shower cubicle.As mentioned by other reviewers,the daily breakfast will put you on for the day.We did not require anything substantial until around 8pm! Please note,we chose to have the full English Breakfast every day.There are enough options to please everyone,i am sure.Sally and Mike recommend the Plough and Barleycorn for an evening meal,only a few minutes walk away.We found this newly refurbished establishment to be excellent value,with truly great food and friendly staff.We had a lovely stay at Shanklin,and look forward to returning to Snowdon Hotel,in the future.Elaine and Alan B.

We have stayed at this hotel 3 times now and are hoping to return this year, Mike & Sally the owners are very friendly and helpful. You get a good breakfast to set you up for the day. Rooms are nicely decorated and clean. The hotel is in a great location for walking to Shanklin village so you don't have to use the car.

We found the hotel accommodation very comfortable, especially as we had decided to pay extra for a room that had an additional seating area. It's location was in a very quiet area but was within very easy reach of the beach and coastal path and the town itself (a few minutes at most). Although the hotel was full whilst we were there there was no noise at all from other guests. The breakfasts, taste, presentation and service was excellent and we were always asked if everything was to our liking and did we want anything else. The room had an excellent supply of tea/coffee etc although we did have to ask for more shower gel rather than it just being provided. But it was given freely when requested and was not an issue.
