A perfect way to spend a long weekend. Sentry Mead is bar far the best B&B we’ve stayed at. Highly recommended.
Pros:

Great location a few minutes walk from the beach. Sea view from our room. Warm and welcoming hosts. Lovely personal touches such as chocolates and pillow spray. A fabulous home cooked breakfast and a clean comfortable bedroom.

Cons:

Everything was lovely.

Home from home
Pros:

It was overall a great night away. It was traditionally and comfortably decorated. Home away from Home experience. A fantastic breakfast and everyone was friendly. We will be back I am sure.

Cons:

We do not have any dislikes - one observation was we had Ventnor room at the top of the house and the door access to the bathroom (great shower and space) was low and I am 6ft! Maybe some sort of alert to duck my head would have been good as an extra. But no problem anyway.

Merveilleux séjour
Pros:

Magnifique propriété
Extrême propreté très bonne literie belle chambre avec vue
Beaucoup d’attentions : thé café lait frais à volonté biscuits chocolats Plus un honesty bar très bien fourni
Un salon très cosy une très jolie terrasse
Vraiment tout est fait pour un séjour excellent
Et le petit déjeuner de très grande qualité avec un grand choix
Certainement le meilleur choix qualité prix pour l’île de wight

Aucun échange ou conseil

Pros:

Breakfast was exceptionally good, especially mushrooms, hash browns and fresh fruit. All the cooked breakfast options were very good indeed. The rooms had complimentary chocolates and milk and espressos. There is also an extensive honesty bar for drinks so you can comfortably pass time there in the evening.

Great accommodation, would definitely return
Pros:

Andrew and Carol were perfect hosts. The location was very convenient for Totland beach, visiting the Needles and exploring the area. We were able to store our bikes safely. The hotel has a friendly atmosphere and guests were able to get to know each other. There was plenty of drink, including water, tea and coffee readily available and a well stocked honestly bar. The breakfast was excellent and all the staff were very friendly.

Cons:

A beautifully run hotel with thoughtful touches.
Pros:

The hotel is finished to a beautiful and high standard. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. There is a great choice for breakfast. The little finishes really make this hotel - Elemis pillow spray and toiletries, bathrobe and slippers, fresh milk and chocolates. The lounge area and outdoor garden are a bonus!

Cons:

We stayed one night in the Brook room and if I am being honest, the toilet seat needs replacing as it is very stained and there was not enough water pressure for the main shower head. I know other rooms also experienced this issue so we had to use the handheld shower head.
