We were lucky to get a last-minute cancellation at Keats Cottage, a lovely B&B in picturesque Shanklin. We’d heard about it from the Channel 4 programme 4 in a Bed, so had some idea what to expect from our “blind date.” David was an impeccable host from the moment we arrived, even arranging parking for our stay that covered all the Island council car parks. Our second-floor room at the front was named after an English poet and decorated with good taste, thanks to David's mother, who still helps out occasionally. It was very comfortable and had plenty of tea and coffee supplies. My small suggestion would be to put a mirror at the dressing table rather than behind the door. David makes breakfast himself, and the “Full Keats” is well worth recommending. The plate is already very generous, though, so two sausages felt a bit much; one would be plenty. There was a great selection of fruit and cereals. David is very chatty and has fascinating stories from his long experience in hotels and catering, including what really happens behind the scenes of 4 in a Bed. We’re committed fans now and can’t wait to return. It’s a first-class B&B and good value for money.

We stayed in the Shelley room, which was lovely: a comfy bed, nice sofa, plenty of space, a big bathroom, and homemade biscuits topped up each day. David and his mum were such lovely people and wonderful hosts. They even got up to make breakfast at 6:15 this morning, and we were sad to say goodbye when we left. The breakfasts were delicious, David's a quality chef, and his mum's marmalade and jam were so good we bought some to take home. After a fantastic week, we both said you couldn't get a better B&B. Thank you, David and your mum. We really appreciate it.

After a really long journey, we were welcomed by our host and offered a free cold beer. The room was large, beautifully appointed, and had all the facilities we could want. Our cheerful host and his mother served fantastic food, with as much as we could ever eat. They also helped plan our itinerary and suggested places to visit. We had a fabulous week’s holiday and would highly recommend Keats Cottage.

The suite had loads of room for us and our things, with a lovely-sized lounge, huge bathroom, soft carpets and a clean, comfortable feel. Some parts could use a little updating, and the TV was a bit small, but neither would put me off coming back. Shanklin was so lovely that we didn't spend much time indoors watching it anyway. David and Ewa were sweet and helpful from the moment we walked in, and nothing felt like a bother. The food was delicious, the service excellent, and the family made us feel very welcome with our children, taking care of every little thing. I'm already planning another visit in a few months and can't wait.

We’ve booked again for next year. The rooms were kept to a high standard, clean, airy and spacious, and looked superb throughout our visit. David and his staff gave excellent service, with a warm welcome and a relaxed, cheerful atmosphere. Breakfast was beautifully cooked and presented, with plenty of choice.
