Very friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble.
United Kingdombreakfast was carried out with three sittings because of the corona virus so everybody could have breakfast , me and my son had porridge , then a cooked breakfast we ordered scrambled egg instead of a fried egg , with bacon , sausage , hash brown , coffee was brought to our table which we ordered along with toast , the staff were very nice and helpful ,
United KingdomThe breakfast was amazing - plenty of food to fill you up, and really good! And in terms of the room, I think I had the best shower of my life (but it might have been also because I was knackered). The room was very clean, the bed was very comfy, and just as I was about to leave I was greeted by a gorgeous cat, which made the whole visit better.
United KingdomThe vegetarian breakfast was excellent and they're not mean about toast or butter portions! The room was nicely decorated and the bed comfortable. Free wifi is good and Michael and his colleagues are hard working and helpful. The location is good and there are some lovely looking houses in the area. The shower was better on this visit!
United KingdomIt was a very relaxing stay, a cosy, compact, clean hotel with very good location and caring staff. I'll be back if I'm in Ryde.
