Thank you 007 DES and Linda for making our stay so comfortable
Pros:

We were greeted by the Hotels owners Des and Linda, who were extremely welcoming on our arrival.
The hotel itself including our room was spotless. It is located in a perfect position near to the beach, the old town and shopping centre within easy walking distance.
The dining area was in my opinion laid out immaculately and you could clearly see that the owners take pride in their hotel. There was a multitude options for breakfast but we stuck with the Full English and it was lovely. I would certainly recommend it.
As we were there in the first start of January, it was extremely cold outside, but our room was extremely hot, in fact I had to turn the radiator down. The bed was one of the comfiest I have laid on.
During our short stay we chatted quite a bit with Des and Linda, and enjoyed their company.
I can genuinely say that this is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed at and certainly one of the friendliest.
I wouldn’t hesitate to book this hotel again if we returned to the IOW. Thank you 007 DES and Linda

Overall amazing experience with very sweet owners.
Pros:

The property is amazing. It is an old Victorian house that was converted into a hotel 17 years ago. We stayed here for 3 nights and it was a very surreal experience. It almost felt like we were living in a castle from the inside. The property has an old sitting room that has many board games for the guests to play. I would say that this hotel is a must stay for anyone who wants to experience living in a Victorian house.

Cons:

The only thing I did not like is that there was no daily housekeeping. However, we managed to keep the room clean ourselves, so that it was not required. Another downside is that, the breakfast options are quite limited and the breakfast items were not being replenished by the staff.

Disappointing
Cons:

No room cleaning all week. No top up of tea/coffee etc in room.
Shower didn't work properly.
Had poached eggs on toast only 1 slice of bread soggy as soaked in water from eggs.
No fresh fruit at breakfast not even an apple or an orange.

We left half way through our holiday.
