The Royson Guest House

We stayed at the Royson as we had a family member seriously ill. Nigel and Sharon made the stress and difficult time a lot easier to cope with. They set us up with a great hearty breakfast to keep us going and on our return each day they asked how things were and if we needed any assistance. The royson is the friendliest place to stay at on the island as we have stayed at a few over the years. The royson is situated in a lovely location on top of the cliff with sea views with good access to walk to shanklin or Sandown beach. This was great for us to go on a regular walk each evening to distress from the days events. We look forward to seeing you again in the summer.

Just returned from a lovely few days at this lovely little B&B. Hosts were fantastic, made us feel very welcome. Had lots of great information to offer and always cheery and friendly when saw us around the property. Rooms & property clean throughout. Loved the decor. Breakfast had plenty to offer and was very tasty. Our only issue was the shower wasn’t very powerful, other than that we were extremely happy with our stay and would most definitely return!

What a fabulous place to stay! Nigel and Sharon are lovely and very welcoming. Their B and B is just delightful. We stayed in room 7 on the top floor with our two young children and the room had everything we needed and more!! Hot chocolate with marshmallows was a lovely touch (being a non tea or coffee drinker, I often don’t have anything) and squash too. Everything is clean and tidy and beautifully decorated throughout. USB ports in the plug sockets in the room were handy along with shaver sockets in the ensuite to charge an electric toothbrush. Soft dressing gowns were also in the room plus a hairdryer and nice little touches like pocket tissues and dettol wipes left on the dressing table. There is a games room downstairs and it’s in good order too - too often games rooms can be shabby or broken but that’s not the case here. There is a pool table, foosball table and magnetic darts which our children loved. There is an additional play area for kids at the front of the B and B with board games, Lego etc. We had no issue with parking directly at the front of the house and it is only a 15 min walk down the coastal path to Shanklin beach (though it’s not a walk for those less mobile as it is quite hilly.) We borrowed buckets, spades and a beach mat from the B and B as well as beach towels which is so handy when you don’t want to bring all those things with you on holiday when it’s only a few days away. The breakfast here was delicious with something for everyone and it felt like nothing was too much trouble to just ask. Our children enjoyed the waffles and pancakes. The eggs - both poached and scrambled - were spot on every day!! They have a great system where you circle what you want for breakfast on a laminated sheet the night before and leave it on reception by 8pm. Cereal, yoghurt, fruit and toast were all on the side in the morning to help yourself too. We had such a great stay here and would highly recommend The Royson to anyone. Shanklin is a really lovely place to base yourself for an IOW trip and we will most definitely come back and stay here again in the future. Thank you Nigel and Sharon for a lovely stay!
