Rosemary and David are the perfect hosts. Friendly, caring and they pay attention to the details. Our room was clean and comfortable with all the amenities that we needed. The location is very central to the train station, beach and the old village. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back some day.

We had a wonderful stay at Westbury Lodge. David and Rosemary made us feel welcome with their communications even before we arrived. Booking a hotel in the Isle of Wight was a mammoth task due to the number of places available, but I'm so glad i chose this lovely B&B. The larger hotels nearby were overrun with tourist buses. Westbury Lodge was cozy and personal. Room was spotlessly clean, very comfortable bed, huge bathroom with a walk in shower. They even supplied a non-slip floor mat for use in the shower. David's breakfasts were wonderful. Rosemary went out of her way to give us info on the events in the area, suggested walks and eating places. Highly recommend Westbury Lodge to anyone visiting the area!

Westbury Lodge was an absolute saviour for us and our pup after having to leave two prior properties due to various issues. Rosemary and David were so welcoming upon our late arrival and chatted with us for a bit before taking us to our room. David even took our luggage up to the room for us when we arrived. The breakfast was amazing and thoughtful. The lounge and conservatory were both cozy and welcoming, and although it was a short stay, we enjoyed our time in those common areas on our last day. The bedroom was spacious, comfortable, and spotless, and the furniture had the lovely B&B feel. The property was a very short walk to the beach and was everything we wanted and needed. Thank you Rosemary and David for a perfect place to call home after a very rough few days.

Relaxing and refreshing stay

My wife and I enjoyed a very relaxing 3 nights at the B&B over the bank holiday weekend. Dave and Kath were brilliant - a warm welcome, gave us all the local knowledge and provided a great cooked breakfast each morning. We stayed in a superior room which was bright and spacious. The B&B is close to the beach and the coastal paths - ideal for walks and enjoying the countryside. A great place to escape to from busy London life!

The room was just what we wanted, with two twin beds. The wi-fi worked easily, and the bathroom was very up-scale. The lounge felt welcoming, which expanded the size of our living space. We loved the breakfast, which was both professionally put together and personalized. We felt welcomed by the hosts, who gave us excellent directions and suggestions. A very pleasant stay!

From arriving to the moment we left the Owners made us feel most welcome. The B&B is perfectly located to the beach, shops, train station, costal path walks and of course travelling around the island. It’s very comfortable and clean with a great selection for breakfast using local produce. Highly recommend the Westbury Lodge Hotel and I most certainly would return.

3 night stay

Rosemary and David are by far the best hosts you would want in a B&B. They went out of their way to make our stay safe and comfortable under the current situation. Hand sanitising stations everywhere, rooms cleaned daily, tables correctly spaced. Breakfast was top quality. The room itself was large with a ceiling fan, the bed was comfortable, and I was even offered the use of his small back yard to lock my motorbike up in. Bad points......only booked 3 nights, should have stayed here longer.

Great place to rest

They have everything covered. If you need beach towels, your wine cooled, milk... they got it. Very nice and helpful owners, lots of tips about the island. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room really clean. The curtains were good and the hotel and neighbourhood are silent, promoting great rest. Breakfast is cooked to order and really tasty, with fresh fruit and a lot of cooked options. They are taking all the precautions on covid 19 and I felt safe. The only downside is that is quite a steep return from the beach to the hotel because the lift isn’t currently working.

So welcome and relaxing

We were made to feel very welcome by our hosts and enjoyed excellent, freshly cooked breakfasts of good quality. Many thoughtful gestures throughout the week enhanced our break and were more than we would have expected, Our room was light and airy and the towels, linen and toiletries offered luxurious comfort. The communal areas were spacious and comfortable, we enjoyed sitting outside in the evening to round off the day. We had a very refreshing stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Restrictions and recommendations in line with COVID 19 were observed at all times Making us feel confident and assured. Shanklin was a great place to base ourselves, there were plenty of walks, shops and eating places as well as transport options when we decided to have a break from driving. Thank you, we had a great time!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

My boyfriend and I spent four nights at Westbury Lodge over the Isle of Wight Festival weekend. The service was great, lots of time to check in and out, plenty of parking, good wifi, and amazing breakfasts made to order every single morning, along with buffet options. The bedrooms were also cleaned daily and had kettles and tea bags, biscuits, etc. for guests. Also, the room had a fanlight, so during one of the hotter weekends of the year we could stay cool. The location was also brilliant, a short walk from the beach, the Shanklin Chine, and the old town.
