Chaston Manor Hotel

I was looking for a 2 night, budget, solo stay close to Shanklin for my brother's 50th and Chaston Manor Hotel fulfilled my needs perfectly! Situated about an 8 minute walk away from Sandown station (The Island Line) and the seafront, the location was perfect for me to get around with Shanklin only 2 train stops away. I stayed in Room 8 (one single bed), a fairly basic room, which faced the front of the hotel and had plenty of light coming in through the windows. Chaston Manor is set back on a main road (Broadway) which is busy during the day however it was much quieter at night during my stay (with the windows closed). If you are a light sleeper, you might prefer a room at the back of the hotel. The bed was comfy and I slept very well. The room and hotel were cleaned to a high standard. The room had a basic tea station, a chest of drawers, a wardrobe with drawers below as well as a TV attached to the wall. The bathroom was small, with a small sink and shower, however, it functioned perfectly, had everything I needed and was fairly modern in its style (see my photos). The staff were friendly and very attentive in making sure I had everything I needed. There was plenty of choice for breakfast which was included in the price of my room and the staff were excellent at dealing with my food allergy to milk. I opted for the English Breakfast (see photos) which was beautifully cooked and suitably filling! In general, I enjoyed my stay at Chaston Manor and would definitely stay again. The staff were very helpful and friendly and my stay was very relaxing with an easy check out. The price for my room reflected what it offered. A few things that could be improved is the soap dispenser on the bathroom wall. When pressed, the soap squirted at me horizontally! At breakfast, the little pots of honey had started to crystalize.

The hotel is very and cosy. Felt like home. I liked the attention to detail in everything and very nice and friendly staff too.

The gentleman who checked me in and served breakfast (so sorry that I don't remember his name!) was just so friendly, positive, polite and helpful. A real asset to the establishment. Breakfast was extremely hearty (to avoid food waste, some portion sizes could maybe be made smaller with an offer that people can ask for more if they want ie. one hash brown and one slice of bacon with the full English and then people getting more if they wanted but that is just nitpicking!). The bed was really comfortable and the room was clean. I would say it was quite an expensive stay but I assume that goes with the "supply and demand" nature of it being bank holiday weekend on the island. Great location, a short distance from Sandown main attractions/beach and ample parking. Really lovely!

Great place to stay. Breakfast was delicious

Two night wedding anniversary break loved it staff brilliant clean room really good breakfast quiet location ample free parking central to most popular spots. Could not fault my stay.

Callum was always checking if the guests were okay and that food requirements were being met. He also gave information on things to do on the Isle Of Wight. Our room was impeccably clean, as was the communal lounge and dining area. The only negative was that Sandown is not as nice as it clearly once was. The area around the pier is in need of inves**ent, with a surprising number of derelict hotels/buildings, but clearly this is not something that Chaston Manor can influence.

Cosy, convenient and with extremely friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended

Brilliant hosts very helpful. Good price nice area clean hotel great breakfast.

Oh my what a find! If you are going to stay anywhere, stay here. The friendliest staff/owner you could ask for, nothing was too much trouble. A beautifully clean room, the most comfortable bed and air conditioning (if you wanted it). Scrumptious breakfast and swift check in/check out. A million percent recommend. Thank you for such a lovely stay!
