We stayed here after taking advantage of a Time Out offer. It was late November and so the end of the season, the hotel was therefore very quiet. We were offered a choice of rooms and selected the room with a balcony overlooking the sea - outstanding: we were able to sit outside in an unseasonably mild November. We stayed... More

We decided to visit the Isle of Wight at the last minute and didn't really look carefully at what might be open during the off-season. It was pretty dull in November with most attractions closed and restaurants. A highlight was definitely this hotel. Very comfortable room. Pleasant staff. Lovely breakfast. Well recommended if you are staying in Ventor. More

We arrived in Ventnor at a time of year when in the main it is closed, end of season makeovers and a rest for the staff, some were closed for acouple of weeks, others until March 2012 so we had no problem getting a room here. We had asked for a super king sized bed and were told no problem,... More

Our first trip to the IOW was prompted by a promotional offer by Time Out. Our room was, clean, and bright, the bed was very comfortable and the linen spotless, with everything else where you hoped to find it. The restaurant, where we had chosen to take both dinner and breakfast, was clean, and the tables were well placed for... More

Bar staff are lovely. Apparantly an... More

We stay here every year when we go to the Isle of Wight. We think the location is fantastic and the town Ventnor is the best place to stay on the Island. The rooms are spacious and most have a balcony which on a sunny day can make the view look like the Italian Riviera! The staff are really friendly... More

Stayed on a two night weekend break with a friend. It was my first time on the Isle of Wight and a wonderful visit. The view from our room (number 9, a super deluxe on the ground floor as you enter from the road) was fantastic, looking down the cliff to the sea front. The hotel's 81 private steps from... More

I've just returned from a weekend in this hotel with a friend of mine. We booked the hotel on a whim, having not yet read the Trip Advisor reviews. When we did read them, we were rather worried, as many of the reviews are not very complimentary. However, we decided a room with a balcony and a sea view outweighed... More

We have just returned from a marvellous three days. Our room was not large but fine for a couple. We had a fantastic sea view. Food was good, but we have never had such slow service. Goodness knows what the chef was doing in the kitchen! Two hours for a two course meal to e served (we gave up on... More
