The Bedford Lodge is ideally situated in the beautiful Shanklin Old Village, and is set in it's own south facing, private gardens with sloping lawns, mature trees, flowering bushes and a sun terrace with views towards the Downs. The Bedford has been welcoming guests to the Isle of Wight for over 150 years, and was built in the 1840's overlooking the Chine and it was considered to be in an idyllic spot for 'taking the air' and 'promenading' by the Victorian people.It's so easy to pop out for a relaxing drink, or grab a bite to eat close by, with a huge choice of fare to choose from including pub meals, cream teas, cafe food, ethnic and fine dining.

A wonderful few days spent staying in a beautiful B&B. Welcoming hosts Gilly & Gary. The room (16) was very comfortable and spotless. Breakfast was excellent and started the day. We enjoyed walking in the lovely gardens and the honesty bar was a nice little extra touch. Karen and I are definitely going to book again.

Really nice hotel, warmly met by Gilly (owner), checked us in early, lovely quiet very clean hotel, comfy bed, very clean room and bathroom too, very spacious in both bedroom and bathroom, shower really good, toiletries provided, hotel grounds were fantastic, parking OK, bit on small side, but council car park available right next to hotel and fairly cheap especially overnight.
Breakfast was really good, the usual full English, cereals, yoghurt, bran, fruit, daily specials too, you will start the day right eating here. Really enjoyed our two nights here, hotel is right in heart of old Shanklin, walking distance to the beach, chine, lots of pubs and restaurants, would highly recommend without hesitation, and would return here without doubt, Thank you Gilly and all the staff.

Our welcome was warm and friendly. Gilly made us feel at home right away and even with the rules and regs of COVID-19, the B&B was homely. Our room was spotless and looked over the front garden and the bed was ever so comfy. The breakfast was delicious and nothing was too much trouble for choices and mixes of the menu. Gilly and Gary are great hosts and made our stay fantastic. I will definitely book in at the Bedford for next time. Thank you so much.
