The Royson Guest House

What a lovely cosy place! Cooked and continental breakfast were delicious. Nigel and Sharon were very welcoming and making sure that everything was fine. The beds were comfy, hot beverages were provided in the room like hot chocolate, coffee and tea. Little things that we appreciated a lot, was the details of the decor, the room service, the continental breakfast like the overnight oats, the games in the room, tourist information flyers and many more things.

A great place to stay. The hosts are very friendly and have a wealth of information for you. The rooms are clean, very good sized and comfortable. A lovely location near the sea. The games room was a highlight for my early teens. The Royson offers exceptional value.

I'm so glad I booked The Royson for my recent Isle of Wight trip with my two young children. Nigel was very polite and welcoming. The hotel location is amazing, quiet, close to beach and convenience store. The room is not very spacious but it had everything we needed. The room and beds were clean (cleanliness was one of my biggest concerns!). The breakfast included was absolutely lovely which as a mum I was so relieved that everyone was happy and full to start the day!!!!!!!! my kids love the play area downstairs! I definitely recommend the Royson!

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.

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!
