Can't praise it enough - Rating 5/5

We had a wonderful few days staying here. The room was lovely. Very clean, bed comfortable and bathroom nice, even if the hot tap did squeak!The continental breakfast was very, very good and nicely presented each morning.The staff were so friendly.The only problem was possibly with parking. The parking spaces were not very big and if you have a longer car, like ours, it sticks out. Fortunately not all bays were used when we stayed.Was convenient for the Old Village and restaurants and there is bus stop not far away too.All in all one of the best hotels we have stayed in.We would certainly return if we came to the Isle of Wight again.

Superb, Luxurious, Relaxing Hotel - Rating 5/5

Fabulous, stunning location.Beautiful room, with very comfortable bed and furnishings.Breakfasts were tasty, plentiful and had a good choice of first class products.Red squirrels visible in the tree canopy on several mornings, with nuthatches, woodpeckers, white doves, blue and great tits and a lovely array of lushious plants, flowers and trees complementing the view from our windows.Hotel was in an excellent position for reaching Old Shanklin's many attractions.Friendly, approachable staff.Definitely a destination to return to, first class!

Shanklin gem - Rating 5/5

What a lovely hotel to stay at. ... Great location for old village and esplanade, very clean and tastefully decorated, the complimentary toiletries smelt so nice. From our bedroom (No.7) we could see the sea beyond the garden. The continental style breakfast brought to our room as standard had a good variety and was more than ample. Also, very professional thoughtful staff (Diane),They also booked our ferry crossing at good discounted price. ... Highly reccommend.

Superb - Rating 5/5

This was our second time at the fernbank hotel in Shanklin, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the room was very comfortable and spacious too. We had a lovely welcome pack consisting of a big bowel of fruit, fresh milk in the fridge and a packet of locally baked biscuits. The staff are very friendly and helpful too, the continental breakfast we had each day was delicious with a very good variety. Thank you for our lovely stay in your beautiful hotel

Cozy guesthouse- Rating 5/5

Liz and Graham were so welcoming of us onto the Island and their lovely guesthouse. The location is great; in a small village close to the seaside with plenty of opportunities for coastal walks/runs and great restaurants. The breakfast was amazing - high quality and so generous! We would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you for your hospitality!

Lovely B&B - Rating 5/5

Just back from a few days staying at Fernbank and what a lovely B&B. Very clean, daily serviced, nice breakfast and peaceful. Very close to old Shanklin for evening meals if you didn’t want to drive. Would definitely recommend.

Quiet and comfortable- Rating 5/5

We enjoyed our stay at the Fernbank and was a great base to strike out and explore the Island from. Beds were comfy and room was clean. Felt like we were the only guests there for first two nights. Continental breakfast suited us (nice jam!) and complimentary biscuits and fruit a nice touch. One recommendation would be robes so that people can cover up when answering door for breakfast. Shower was powerful and decent bathroom! Great overall experience.

Response

Thank you for your kind words! We aim to keep Fernbank quiet and relaxing. Hopefully you will both visit again.

Perfection!- Rating 5/5

My husband and I spent five nights at Fernbank, and we, really, didn’t want to come home so soon! We enjoyed everything about our stay. The room was immaculate and cleaned daily and had everything to make us comfortable - the box of biscuits was a great touch! We thoroughly enjoyed our continental breakfast, which was served, daily, to our room; the croissants were incredible! There was plenty of choice, although we choose a similar breakfast each day, it being exactly to our taste. The self-check in worked very smoothly and parking was good. We have, already, booked for next year. Thank you, Liz and Graham, for making our stay memorable.

Excellent stay - Rating 5/5

We first visited the Fernbank 13 years ago for my brother's "Star Wars" wedding.This time round. Although the hotel has changed somewhat since our last trip. We had an excellent stay and have no complaints. And will probably stay again in the future.

A spotlessly clean very comfortable base for day trips - Rating 5/5

If you are looking for a comfortable, well-maintained room in a tranquil setting, within easy walking distance of Shanklin Old Village, then you can't do much better than the Fernbank. Friendly, helpful staff, substantial continental breakfasts delivered to you door and the availability of a large lift to the first floor for those with mobility problems.
