Nick my host was lovely and made me feel welcome and at home. I was unable to stay for breakfast so he even made sure I had some fruit to go in the morning! The room was lovely with a wonderful shower which was much needed at the end of the long day. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Just superb. I stayed at the Chestnuts and I could not have chosen a better base or more importantly host. Nick goes above and beyond, friendly, informative and makes the best breakfast. No request was to much from cleaning the rooms on request to providing a warm and friendly atmosphere. I had a different breakfast in my 3 day stay and have to say the cooked full English was just so good. If you are looking for a good place to stay, close to the beach (2 minute walk) and perfect access point to the rest of the island I would highly recommend the Chestnuts. Also which is a big bonus nowadays if you want Wi_Fi then the speeds are great. Probably as good as at home. With over No issues connecting your devices. A great stay I will be back.

Good location, great hospitality with travel tips from the hosts and delicious breakfast. The room is compact with the bathroom newly refurbished. Felt really comfortable over the 2-night stay while enjoying its convenience to explore the southern half of the island.

Very welcoming when arrived. The room was small but more than adequate. The breakfast was well worth it. Due to my time of staying and out of season the local area was a little bit of a let down. Very hard to find something to eat (next time should ask when booking in) but apart from that a lovely stay. Thank you

Nice B&B close to the beach. Very central location so easy to get around the island using public transport/ bikes. Lots to do locally. The owners couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Definitely worth staying here if you are visiting Shanklin.
