Such a lovely place with fantastic hospitality from the staff. Breakfast was delicious with lots of options. The guesthouse had quirky deco and little touches like homemade biscuits made it extra welcoming.

Lovely peaceful very clean and friendly place
We stayed at the Birkdale for two nights. Everything from checking in, the room, facilities, the comprehensive information pack were perfect. Everything has been thought of, and it has to be one of the cleanest hotels I have ever used everything was spotless. The breakfast choice was varied, and once again everything had been thought of, and was on the table ready upon arriving in the dining room. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was great. Would highly recommend to anyone. Lesley and Colin were most helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for a lovely weekend. Nothing was too much trouble.

The Birkdale is a Superb Guest House.
We had a fantastic three night stay thanks to Lesley, Colin and Sarah. From the welcoming chat, over a cup of coffee, Lesley and Colin were excellent and friendly hosts who provided everything that we could wish for to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We particularly enjoyed the nice touches such as Lesley’s homemade yoghurt at breakfast and her homemade biscuits, provided in the room, which were very tasty. The Guest House is spotlessly clean and well maintained and we had no COVID concerns. Rooms can be serviced daily on request but cleaning materials are also provided in the wardrobe. The breakfasts, which are pre-ordered the night before from an extensive menu, are very generous, delicious, cooked to perfection and served with a welcoming smile by Sarah. The breakfasts set us up for the whole day! We stayed in the first floor four poster bedroom which is very comfortable and spacious with a compact shower room. Additional comforts are a fan, hair dryer and small fridge for the storage of fresh milk and cold water. Two bottles of Spring Water are provided in the fridge which can be refilled from the complimentary water cooler in the hallway. There is one parking space available for each room and the Birkdale’s location is only a few minutes’ walk from Shanklin Old Village with its numerous attractions, shops, restaurants and pubs. We would thoroughly recommend the Birkdale and would have no hesitation in booking again the next time we visit the Isle of Wight.

Fabulous great value guest house
We stayed for 4 nights in the Superior King with four-poster bed and we were not disappointed. Lesley and Colin were warm, friendly hosts and the room was large, airy and very clean. The shower room was compact but perfectly suitable and the breakfast choices were generous and beautifully cooked. All in all we were so pleased we stayed at the Birkdale and if (when) we return to Shanklin we will have no hesitation in booking at the Birkdale again.

Fantastic stay.
The Birkdale is an excellent Hotel. Spotlessly clean, delicious breakfast, with a very nice selection of cereals, fruit and cooked. Our room was a good size, with very comfy bed and lovely en-suite. Great location, with some fab eateries just around the corner. Thanks for having us Jackie and Bill.

Well located property, with convenient off-road parking tight in front. Within a minute's walk from shops, pubs, and restaurants. The room we were in was large, airy, tastefully decorated and comfortable, with an en suite and a four-poster bed. Tea/coffee making facilities were provided, along with a hair dryer. I cannot think of anything amiss! The hosts were superb - very welcoming and friendly. The breakfasts on offer were of very high standard, with choices including superb cooked breakfast. Overall, an excellent stay for 3 nights was had by my wife and myself.

A Real Gem in Shanklin
We spent a long weekend at The Birkdale Guest House and had wonderful service and were made very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble and Jackie gave us lots of tips and advice on where to eat and visit. The breakfasts were freshly cooked to order and lots of fresh fruit and home made jams were a great touch. We were situated right in the main town so close to some lovely pubs and restaurants and not very far from the beach area. Also plenty of car spaces on the forecourt so never a problem to park. We had a standard room on the first floor which was lovely but next time we would book a superior room as larger.
