We loved this B and B. Chris was an excellent host and kindly accommodated the need for a slightly earlier start, providing a full English breakfast ahead of a day's walking. Bedroom was very comfortable with lots of useful extras (fresh milk and water in the fridge, multigang extension lead for charging phones) and modern shower. The location was perfect for an evening meal at the White Horse Inn and handy for our round-the-island hike. Overall a very comfortable stay in a delightful guesthouse.

Nothing

Really friendly, good communication before travel and help with booking ferry. Comfortable, excellent breakfast food, really beautiful place to stay. Would highly recommend.

Location is away from main attractions which is nice and quiet but does require a car. If you have a car, it's no problem. There are buses as well though.

Breakfast was local ingredients, well cooked. Location was very central with nowhere on the island more than 30/40 minutes away depending on road conditions Some great places to visit: Brading Roman Villa, the Needles (especially by the rib boat), the Model Village, Farringford House (Tennyson's home), Carisbrooke Castle, Osborne House to name but a few

Some plug points could have been better placed and the mirror in the bathroom could be a bit lower (I am only 5ft 2) but they are only minor niggles

Lovely friendly welcoming host. Super breakfast. Comfortable room, with nice touches like fresh milk in the fridge and biscuits for the dog. Great to be encouraged to use the big garden.

My only tiny quibble (and I think it's probably down to Booking.com rather than the B&B) is that as is often the case there was a small additional charge for the dog - which is absolutely fine, but it would be good to be able to see that charge flagged up before you make a booking. As I said, no criticism of the B&B - it seems to be a universal thing about how information is presented.

The whole stay was great, the host was exceptional and if we asked or needed anything he was very helpful and very informative on things to do on the island. Breakfast freshly cooked and high quality products. Have taken their card and if we were staying on the island wouldn't hesitate to use Kingsmede again.

There was nothing we can think of.

Super friendly and very warm welcome. This comfy B&B was the perfect stay for a quick weekend visit. Breakfasts were amazing and we really enjoyed chatting with Chris in the mornings. We were on the IOW for a wedding so we didn’t have a chance to use the garden, but there is a big beautiful back garden to relax in and it’s very close to Ventnor.

Chris was a fantastic host and answered any questions we had before and during our stay. We also booked the ferry through Chris which was very helpful! The rooms were comfortable and breakfast was excellent!

Our stay here was wonderful, Chris was the perfect host, very welcoming and always on hand without feeling intrusive. Room was lovely, bed was wonderfully comfortable and the breakfast was cooked beautifully with plenty of options. The house itself was lovely and quaint and definitely wouldn't hesitate to stay there again

There is a large garden around the back which guests are allowed to use. Quality ingredients used in the full English breakfast. Handy place to stop if you are doing the I.O.W. cycle route in stages.

TV was on in the breakfast room. Quite a busy road outside if you have the street facing room.

Friendly chatty staff. Lovely homely accommodation. Good location. Nice garden, although we didn't get time to use it. Great breakfast 😋

Was concerned with previous reviews regarding the venue needing a little TLC. This is somewhat true however it's not a deal breaker and certainly did not impact our stay. We would definitely recommend this place!
