This hotel is dead central to Shanklin but slightly hard to find the entrance for cars. The general feel of the place is warm and inviting and the owner Karena and her hard working colleague Jodie could not have been more welcoming or helpful with info about where to eat etc. Our room on the top floor was modern and... more

Having a rather large but friendly dog called 'Herbie' we like to try and take him on holidays in the UK but often it is hard to find places that take dogs. Well the Bedford Lodge is a gem as they have a great room for owners and dog to share (room 15). It is on the ground floor with... more

Set in a beautiful part of the Isle of wight close to the beach and shops. Plenty of places to eat and drink within walking distance but secluded enough to be quiet at night. The rooms are decorated to a high standard and the place is immaculately clean. The lounge area and patio area's are great for sitting and relaxing... more

My fiance & I have stayed at the Bedford a few times in the past & have always loved the house. When we heard it had been taken over by new owners we were worried it would lose the homely feel.... BUT FAR FROM IT ! Karena & the staff have made it even more special with a new patio... more

6 of us stayed at the Bedford Lodge and 6 of us would stay again - without hesitation. Karena and her staff were lovely - we felt we were visiting friends. The bedrooms were spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated - each different and very comfortable. Breakfast - marvellous. The location is perfect for Shanklin Old Village and for a gentle... more

Just returned from a lovely 5 night stay at 'The Lodge'. Karina and all of the staff are so friendly and make you feel at home from the second you arrive. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The rooms are very nice with everything you need and look over the lovely garden or the downs. Breakfast is very relaxing,... more

A very cosy B&B, with a very professional and copious breakfast and a nice bow-window where you can entertain with friends. The rooms are pleasant and clean. Small negative notes: the private car-parking is very small; as an alternative, there’s a big public parking, but you have to pay since 8 a.m. The rooms are not cleaned up every day:... more

We visited the Bedford Lodge for a birthday surprise. Its hidden away in its own little grounds making it the perfect location for a relaxing break. Very friendly staff, excellent food and service, especially knowing the eggs are from their very own chickens. Even had a place to safely store our cycles. Will definitely visit again, excellent location in the... more

Karena made us feel so welcome. The accommodation was clean and homely. There were extra touches that made all the difference from it being a lovely stay to it being a memorable stay. The chickens were fun too! more
