The Richmond location is ideal for walking, buses and train station. The property is comfortable and has everything you require in the room. If i was being picky i would like to see less sugary items at breakfast and opt for plain greek yogurt, Weetabix, low sugar muesli as the options on offer are too sweet. Also less plastic flowers and plants which attract the dust but that is only my preference otherwise all good.

The Richmond was quiet and restful, which was what we were looking for. The room was large and airy, comfortably furnished with plenty of storage space. Breakfast was perfectly cooked with plenty of choice. The owners were friendly and helpful, keen that we enjoy our stay. We would be very happy to stay there again. We were sad that this lovely couple, working hard and doing a great job, have had to take abuse from unreasonable people who expect the service of a 5* hotel from B & B proprieters. Read the information before you book folks and leave vacancies at this lovely place for people who appreciate it.

A lovely bed and breakfast with very friendly hosts. Very clean and tidy with nice decor. The aduslts only policy is a bonus as it was very quiet. The location is within walking distance of the beach, the bus and railway stations as well as the restuarants in the old town.

Wonderful stay through and through.
The Richmond is a wonderful b&b with faultless service through and through. The only slight niggles were the car parking which can be a little tricky to negotiate (but we did park on-site for our entire stay) and the size of the room, as we had the smaller double room. It was still big enough to accommodate both of us, but there was no storage space but we knew this in advance. Otherwise it was superb - Mark and Caz are wonderful, friendly and helpful, the breakfasts were lovely and it is in a great location for the centre of Shanklin, and only a few minutes walk from the old village. It is also by far the cleanest b&b we have ever stayed in. Faultless.

Customer Opinion
Shanklin: The Richmond Hotel Bed & Breakfast lovely well presented home Home & life, Is exactly what it is in a family setting In a family setting you have great comfort, food appears to come to you in a very clean and well catered for manner, service some what, wanting an opinion of customer satisfaction ummm, they would not go a miss from speaking to local butchers about produce, produce of clean food but no local values, wipe of marker pens for day out on their folder map, and more security of being a family orientated business on belongings, dust was another fault, I would advice a flat handled, flat cloth folding slide branch in which all services have for hard to reach places under beds, for anyone allergic, I would also add blinds, their security runs in line with Ariel braker in which controls viewing, In my opinion of my stay, they should also have ansilary bins in the bathroom and no over head dumb light over shower, especially when it is not a sealed unit, but other then that and shoe problems, I had a fantastic family stay at Shanklin

Great Place to Stay
We were made to feel very welcome when we arrived and Mark explained everything we needed to know. The room was clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was superb every morning, eggs cooked to perfection. The breakfast room was clean and it was easy to chat to other guests and get to know them too. We thought parking may be an issue but were able to park on the premises every day and evening during our stay with no problems. We would definitely recommend this B & B and will hopefully stay there again in the future.
