Littlestairs – Pet friendly Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Littlestairs – Pet friendly on a quiet residential street in Shanklin, you immediately get the sense this is something special. It’s one of those places that feels more like staying at a friend’s beautifully appointed home than a typical hotel — which honestly makes perfect sense given its four-star rating and that perfect 10 guest score. The fact that they welcome pets with open arms tells you everything about their approach: this is hospitality done right, without the stuffiness. Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure your stay is comfortable and memorable.

Location & Getting Around

You know what really struck me about the location? It’s in what locals consider the best part of Shanklin, and after spending time there, I totally get why couples rate it so highly for romantic getaways. You’re tucked away on Littlestairs Road, which gives you that peaceful residential feel, but you’re actually perfectly positioned to explore everything the Isle of Wight has to offer. The parking situation is brilliant too — free private spots right on site, which anyone who’s tried to park near the coast during summer will appreciate. The accessibility to local attractions makes it an ideal base for your island adventure.

The Space

The room itself strikes that perfect balance between comfort and character. I mean, you can tell they’ve put real thought into making this feel like a home away from home rather than just another hotel stay. What really sets it apart is how genuinely pet-friendly everything is — and I’m not just talking about allowing dogs, but actually welcoming them with proper amenities and space to be comfortable. The thoughtful design extends to every corner of the accommodation.

What Makes It Special

There’s something refreshing about a place that knows exactly what it is and does it exceptionally well. The owners clearly understand that travelers — especially couples looking for a peaceful retreat — want somewhere they can truly relax without worrying about every little detail. The location score of 8.5 isn’t just a number; it reflects how well-positioned you are for both quiet moments and easy access to Shanklin’s attractions when you’re ready to explore. This balance between tranquility and convenience is what truly distinguishes this property.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, that perfect 10 rating speaks volumes, but what really comes through in guest feedback is how this place makes people feel genuinely welcome. Whether you’re traveling with your four-legged companion or just looking for a romantic escape on the Isle of Wight, there’s something about Littlestairs that gets the details right. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself already planning your return visit before you’ve even checked out. The combination of warm hospitality and thoughtful amenities creates an unforgettable experience that keeps guests coming back.

Reviews of Littlestairs – Pet friendly

• absolutely amazing- will book again – Samantha from United Kingdom (10/10)

  We loved our stay at Littlestairs; it’s fantastic! Little stairs has a great location with beautiful sea views from the balcony and we loved the access out the garden gate to the coastal path and the Blueberry cafe. The property is decorated lovely, very spacious and was very clean. The little extras for young families was great; we found a changing mat, high chair and cot very helpful. There’s a nice selection of books for all ages and some toys. The garden is beautiful, large, well kept and fully enclosed which was great for our dog. The company were easy to contact and always so helpful.
  We will be booking again!
