“Great location and a warm welcome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We have been to Shanklin a few times over the past couple of years and went for a last minute long weekend. With our usual B&B of choice shut for the winter I remembered the Bedford as a place we had walked past and always commented how good it looked.

It did not disappoint from the phone call to book on arrival and throughout our stay I can say we had a pleasurable experience. Karina is super and goes out of her way to provide a welcome and comfortable guest house. The room was warm and comfy with plenty of hot water and breakfast was excellent with free range eggs (Karina keeps her own chickens - so fresh eggs). From the breakfast room if your lucky you will see red squirrels at the feeding table.

A very enjoyable stay and I would highly recommend the Bedford and we will be returning.

“Last minute short break - recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011 via mobile

We went to Shanklin during the hot weekend in October this year. We chose this B&B due to the location - it certainly wasn't a let down, it was a short walk to the beach and just a stones throw from the centre of Shanklin. On arrival we were offered a cup of tea and chocolate fudge cake even though we arrived a little late! Lovely! The room was very clean and full of character and was great for our short break. If stopping for longer we would prefer a bigger room but as I say it was great for a weekend. The breakfast was lovely, the service first class, friendly and attentive and I even saw a red squirrel in the garden! Highly recommended!

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

My husband and I decided to stay at the Bedford because it looked a nice place, it was'nt, it was lovely! From the owner, to the night staff, to the people who help at meals, everyone was friendly , helpful and made our stay a most enjoyable one.We celebrated our anniversary whist there and had agreat time.They even got the red squirrels to show themselves whilst we had breakfast! The room we had was lovely, the bed very comfy, the bathroom clean and well appointed and it's only a couple of steps to some excellent places to eat.
