Company information
Myself and Warren both come with many years of providing good customer service, Warren worked as a Station Manager on the London Underground and has just taken early retirement after 38 years of service, since 1999 I have been managing dementia care homes providing top quality care to those living with dementia and also becoming qualified in reflexology. So the both of us buying and running a bed and breakfast in Shanklin seemed the obvious choice.
We like walking on the beach with the dogs, trips to the theatre or cinema and we both enjoy life on the Island where we can take life in its stride. Our goal in life has and will always be to make people feel special and valued, something you will hopefully see when staying at our lovely guest house. We are very Dog friendly here and are happy to take dogs but we need to be alerted at time of booking if you plan to bring your Dog as a small charitable charge is applied. Please note we only offer a 2 night minimum stay as well as the discounted ferry crossings.
