Room was clean and well furnished. Comfortable bed, but sometimes felt like we were rolling off due to poor support along edge of mattress. Breakfast hours 8:15 - 9:00 am which suited us fine but may be limiting for some travelers. Host and hostess were gracious and helpful with suggestions. Good location in Sandown - about 20 minute drive from ferry. Parking is limited to street, but no problem finding free spaces. Not a five star B&B, but enjoyed a pleasant stay. Overall impression is favorable and would consider a repeat visit.

We had another wonderful stay at the Belmore, Alison and Jim always give you a warm and friendly welcome, you get excellent service and a great breakfast, we go there so often we call in our "home from home".Jean and Paula

This guest house was a real find. Rooms and house lovely and clean and well presented. However, what makes it is the lovely welcome and kindness of the owners. They really are lovely people.If you are going to the Isle of Wight, this really is the place to stay!

Dear Traveller,I will start with what I didn't enjoy much. The welcome was not warm. When standing in the door, I was prompted by the gentleman to show whether I can fold my folding bike so that I could be allowed to take it with me into the room. A cyclist on a folding bike takes a folding bike with him or her to be able to keep it close to her/him. No cyclist is happy to hear that the bike can stay in the shed - without a lock - over night. It was not even raining that day. The tyres were as clean as my shoes. Would it be better to leave my shoes in the shed?So I felt a bit like somebody who comes to rent a room, not like a customer.Second, the wash basin pipe kept making noises shortly after using the wash basin. And there was a group of some drunk youngsters having a quarrel on the avenue at night, so I got woken up twice, a bit of drama..but I realize well that was nothing to do with the place's hospitality. Now I will proceed to things that I appreciated.I liked that I was asked what I would like for a breakfast the next day.The shower was great!I liked the fresh blueberries and raspberries for a breakfast and a cosy eating room.It was nice that the owner came to have a friendly chat with me while I was eating my breakfast, (although I didn't understand why he was telling me a 5-minute story about his son's successful career).Before I left, I had noticed a cat coming out of the kitchen (in a photo). I wonder how that fits with the 5 star rating for hygiene. Otherwise, nothing against animals, quite the contrary!Best regards,

We have stayed here four times now and will most likely return next year. The owneres, Alison and Jim are very welcoming as are their staff. The breakfasts are excellent, the fresh fruit salads are delicious. You can have full English or any variation eg just egg on toast, good choice of cereals too. The family room we stay in is lovely with tea/ coffee making and biscuits in room each day. It is clean and spacious with bunk beds for the kids. TV, radio, hair drier and if you need it an iron! is in all rooms too.It is only a short walk from walk to beach, with all it's atractions say 5 mins maximun. Also very nearby are plenty of good resturants and shops. The pier is only about a ten minute walk away and the zoo is within walking distance for most people too about 25 mins walk along the front.
