Excellent
The double bed was a very small double?!The back of property could with spruce up The wind put us off sitting the lovely garden which is a credit to the gardener with lovely pelargonium & wisteria the pool looked so inviting to
The location is ideal for walking the coast and discovering the island
The hotel has won trip advisors. Best of the Best award. With the standard overpriced room with dated bathroom. Cobwebs, tired looking exterior and taped carpet. How is this the best of the best!
Dinner and breakfast.
Price was generally expensive, alcoholic drinks were very expensive, London prices.
Delicious, well-cooked breakfast with a good variety of choice. Lovely garden view from room. Friendly staff.
No variety of coffee options offered with breakfast unless paying a surcharge. Carpet on stairways worn and patched up with tape. TV in room very small. Very basic tea/coffee products in room. Would have expected a higher class of products given the hotel and its prices.
Great Location
The check-in was easy, everything ready for us, plenty of car parking, super room with garden/sea view, comfortable bed, excellent food coupled with friendly and efficient staff members. We will go back again.
Nothing.
Everything was great.
Nothing, all was good.
Charming, old world ambience.
Tasty breakfast - had one vegan option
Attentive, courteous staff at reception, restaurant and housekeeping. The shower-head was not delivering hot water and they promptly attended to and fixed this.
Clean and tidy.
Hotels should really be inclusive for vegans - can stock plant-based biscuits in the room which can be consumed by everyone, instead of just butter/dairy-based biscuits.
Breakfast could have a few more vegan options. We were only able to pick one option from the list of 6-7.
The bed was probably too soft for my liking, especially as I have some back issues, but that's a personal preference.
Lovely hotel in an excellent location. Great value we booked the early special saver rate. Got a great discount on the ferry. Historic and interesting. Beautiful gardens and they were just in the process of upgrading the outdoor seating and pool area. Classy hotel excellent dinner we ate twice on a 3 night stay as it's so good. I heard under new ownership. Only minor comment would be mattress (room 56) needs replacing but I am sure this will be under a refurb programme soon. We stayed the same time (easter) last year and would not hesitate to book again. We also bought dogs this time the IOW is very dog friendly. Staff were excellent and very attentive there was a doggie gift set in the room a nice touch.
Mattress in 56
Great location. Great staff & dog friendly 👍🏼
My pork belly was dry 😕
It’s a bit worn in places but for us that added to the character, great hotel , great location, great staff, superb breakfast.
Nothing
The food for dinner in the restaurant was excellent and beautifully arranged on the plate. The roast on Sunday was better than anywhere and the beef was exceptional.
Regarding breakfast, the Full English was poor but other options were nice. Pity there was no fat-free yogurt .
The dining room.
Hotel needs modernisation
The location of the hotel was fabulous.
The night porter was lovely, the most attentive member of staff.
Pretty much everything else.
The room was dated. The stairs and hallways were dated.
The taps in the room were not great you had to keep turning and turning to get water.
Carpets desperately need replacing, when you have duct tape holding carpet together it isn't a good look. It was loose on the stairs so you had to be careful not to slip.
The staff were lacklustre at best. Never anyone at the bar, and kept waiting. First day for breakfast, empty breakfast room but because we checked in with a dog automatically put in conservatory even though the dog wasn't with us. We did manage to get seated in the empty restaurant but couldn't have a table by the window because those were 'taken/reserved'. We were the only ones in the restaurant bar one couple who appeared mid way through so not sure why we couldn't have one of the many empty window tables?!
The breakfast itself was a let down. A full English that arrived one sausage, one bacon, half a tomato, a mushroom and the two smallest poached eggs I've ever seen. They forgot my sourdough toast I'd asked for instead of fried bread but did get me a rack of mixed roast instead.
My partner had the guacamole and feta on sourdough with poached egg, and it was lucky he asked for sausages to go with it as it was a very stingy portion.
The music at breakfast was the same four songs on repeat.
We opted to not do breakfast the second day even though it was included.
All, in all, this hotel needs a complete makeover and refurb of the contents and the staff.
Unexpectedly upgraded to a sea view room which was fabulous. The hotel is stunning & the staff exceptional in their friendliness, helpfulness & professionalism.
I was fortunate to get a parking space for the duration of my stay but I was surprised at how small the car park is considering the size of the hotel.
