Very impressed by the courtesy and service when I phoned to clarify the room availability and prices, so I was confident we’d have a good experience here. The location is remote, peaceful and pleasant, although the winding private road to it has some significant pot holes to navigate. The house is substantial, old and the outside terrace very appealing. We... More

We had such a lovely break here at the end of April. The walks along the downs with the amazing views are England at its very best. The hotel exceeded our expectations, friendly and so hospitable, breakfasts to set you up for the day, we can't wait to return.

We were delighted with every aspect of this quiet retreat. Wonderfully tricky to find, we really felt like really earned our evening meal! Seriously, make sure you plan this bit carefully as navigational challenges could really take the edge off a romantic break! The hotel is tucked away near the top of a hill, in the midst of woodland.

Having been disappointed at our last hotel stay on the Isle of Wight we were so delighted with the Hermitage. The location is beautiful and wonderfully peaceful and the building has been done up well and feels welcoming as well as sumptuous. On arrival we were shown around the dining room, honesty bar and lounge and then to our room... More

We stayed at The Hermitage Country House on the Isle of Wight in March, as a birthday gift from my two daughters. Whilst it is not the easiest of places to find, tucked away in a small wooded area well off the beaten track, it is well worth it when you get there! The house and grounds are wonderful and... More

Stayed here on a Groupon offer. Peaceful location, if not a bit hard to find. The price we paid was good for what we got but the bathroom could have been cleaner. The shower hose was filthy and shower had no pressure so resulted on us having a bath or wash. I know it's a country house but feel that... More

We stayed here for just two nights last week on a Groupon special offer. We wanted the upgraded suite as part of this offer, and the Manager was very helpful in agreeing dates when this would be available. The instructions for getting there were not very clear. The postal address is Whitwell, but when we asked in the village for... More

We spent two nights over Easter on a Price is Wight offer. On a separate offer, we also ate two evening meals. It was surprising to find that accommodation was available, at such late notice and we upgraded to the Alexandrian suite for an extra £20 per night. We arrived just after 1.00pm and received a decidedly frosty greeting and... More

Stayed for 2 nights at the end of March on a Groupon deal which means the value for money was excellent. We were met at the front door by Ian and we have to say the staff were excellent throughout the stay. The four poster room was a little tired with the pelmet coming away from the window and copious... More
