While dinner was excellent, breakfast was bizarre and staff encouraged by management to offer a slow, “leisurely” experience. The issue was that we were on a set timeline in order to make our morning tour and, upon being prompted by the menu, let our server know we had an hour to dine. She let us know it would likely “be a while longer” if we ordered hot food, but then proceeded to serve every other table’s breakfast made-to-order within ten minutes. We decided to forego hot breakfast items and then sat in silence as the servers and chef chuckled about our perceived impatience.

Lovely large room that has that Victorian feel. Beautiful property and a lovely sitting room to enjoy an afternoon cocktail. Be aware that transportation on the Isle of Wight seems to be limited. Primary source of transportation is via bus. Restaurants are a bit of a hike to get too, however, the hotel restaurant is very good. Great location for the Osborne House as it is right around the corner & is a must see.

Magical place, great food very good value.

I have wanted to stay here for some time. Finally got to do a pre Christmas stay. Our room was amazing, you get a real feel of the history of the building. A lovely warm welcome, with a welcome letter, giving some history of the hotel. Dinner was so good, a reasonable priced wine list and first class food. Breakfast which was included, so rare these days, and was very good. Really loved our stay and it will now be a place to return to, again and again. Would be a wonderful place for a wedding, family reunion, or any special occasion. Many thanks to the owner and wonderful staff for such a lovely stay.

Had an amazing stay at Albert Cottage for a Christmas party. The suite was amazing, the staff couldn’t do enough for you, and both dinner and breakfast were very good indeed. Thoroughly recommend this hotel for any occasion or just a treat!

Not enough great words to describe our stay. The service we received from Chris and others was top level. Our room was lovely and had all the amenities needed without losing on the history of building. We loved the location and proximity to Osborne house but it may not be right for those looking to be closer to the town and restaurants. Our only disappointment was that our stay was to short.
