Hotels near Carisbrooke Castle

"A good roof over your head with a lovely breakfast provides a great foundation for the perfect holiday. And for this reason I have to give Ethel high praise for looking after me, my wife and daughter, during our four-day stay at the Newport Quay B&B Hotel. The comfortable king size and single bed in our bedroom suited us well, including the en-suite bathroom - all clean and ship shape. Breakfast in this 17th century Grade II listed building was served before 9am and included cereal, a fruit juice, toast with jam and marmalade, tea, coffee, croissant, a yoghurt and fruit. Ethel gave us plenty advice on where to go and what to see. Because we purchased a tourist parking permit, we were able to park outside the hotel. The online permit also allowed us to park at council-run car parks by the beach and in our favourite spot, the picturesque Shanklin Old Village. There are council offices in the next street from the hotel, but don’t park there as the spaces are for staff only. Our room was on the first floor which wasn’t a bind, but if you are disabled, perhaps call them first. Being in the centre it was good for getting treats and we were just one street away from a lovely Italian restaurant. The oldest pub on the island was also a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Unlike other places which don’t allow three adults in one room it was good value for money. Although we were only there for a short while, it was sad to say goodbye. This place definitely ticked all the boxes. "

"Very clean, kind staff, beautiful building and architecture. "

"Park lovely and quiet as not peak season. Excellent location. Lovely walks for dog on park. Luxury caravan for 6 but 3rd room very very small with hardly any room between the two single beds. Dining room table only had 4 chairs even though for six. Lots of storage space in kitchen. When stripped the bed, mattress not particularly clean. Hot tub private but had to buy a light for safety as no external light outside by it and couldn’t see a thing out there! Despite this we had a fabulous break and the staff were really friendly. "

"Evening meal disappointing Spa noisy Room - rather like a "Premier Inn" , lacking 4* character"

"Unfortunately the room requested was not available as we had our small dog with us so were allocated a dog friendly room which was fine but it only had a 4’6 bed which really is not expected these days. Following the downgrading of the room by the hotel and being advised that the room requested would be cheaper. The new price unfortunately was not honoured despite numerous requests for a refund so overall not the best experience."

"The room was a little cold, but the staff gave us an electric heater. So all was good. Lovely staff, food amazing deffo recommend. "

"Excellent stay at the Chequers Inn again for a week for the New Year. Beautiful room, good food, clean, lovely staff - shout out to Angela who went above & beyond for us! Lovely compassionate email sent to us following the very sad death of my Dad whilst we were away. Only downside - the bar closed at 10:30pm on New Years Eve! We will definitely return."

"Very caring and homy, many thanks!"

"The room seemed clean, dirty towel that was left was removed after this was pointed out. Room was well equipped with coffee maker and kettle, nice modern bathroom. To our surprise the room was not cleaned during the day and towels not refreshed. Also coffee, tea, water etc was not replenished. Breakfast in the local pub across the square was not good. No fresh fruit for instance and the used ingredients were not the best."
