Would totally recommend as a base for a trip to the IOW

8.0

The twin room was very comfortable and very clean. Dual aspect windows created a through breeze and a table top fan was very welcomed. Breakfast was simple but very tasty and well presented.

− There was a music act playing in the garden so obviously the noise carried up to our room. However they finished at 11 pm so this was perfectly acceptable to us.

Thanks very much. Welcoming staff, clean and tidy room. Decent food.

7.0

Handy location.

− There’s a step halfway along the corridor which my friend tripped over as she wasn’t really looking!

Convenient location but noisy pub rooms

4.0

Good location directly opposite Osborne House

− Rooms in a pub so noise from outdoor drinkers in the evening. Lots of noise from cars on the road ALL night. Rooms basic and looked a bit shabby, bed very creaky.

Wonderful Stay on the Isle of Wight

9.0

I had to leave a review as I was so impressed with the accommodation. The owners were lovely, answered all my questions and made me feel welcome. There was plenty of parking, tasty hot breakfast, clean and comfortable accommodation and it is over the road from Osborne House so it was perfect for the event I was attending. I thoroughly recommend considering staying here :)

− Honestly can't fault it, excellent value for money.
