    Shower in the room was a bit weedy.

    Breakfast was good. Hotel was clean and in good order. We've stayed in a lot of hotels on the IOW and this was definitely one of the better ones.

    A very pleasant stay, and I'd rcommend for folk -like me - on budgets.
    • Leisure trip

    • Single Room not Ensuite

    The number of stairs! Steps up to the front door, and stairs down to the single rooms and breakfast room. Not fun with dodgy knees and / or luggage. I'd known there were some, but not quite how many. The light over the bed didn't work, and when I pointed this out, the receptionist said they knew and it couldn't be fixed. Why? and if that was the case why was it still there? Not good. There was a lamp but on the tray with the kettle etc on the other side of the room, and the lead wouldn't have reached across so no good for reading in bed. I didn't mind sharing the shower rooms - no bath - but I could only get one of them to work. Possibly me being dim but Michael said he'd look at it

    I did enjoy my stay and would like to go back. Apart from Michael the manager and David at breakfast I didn't see much of the staff so can't comment much there, tho there's a gorgeous cat -see pic. My room tho basic was clean and comfortable enough with room to stow clothes and get the case out of the way. And the means to make tea. I don't eat breakfast much, but what I had I enjoyed particularly the scrambled egg and the porridge. And the marmalade; I'd have brought that home if there'd been room in the case! For folk who do eat breakfast there is plenty of choice: cereal, orange juice, eggs, bacon etc and toast. The location is good, just a 10 min walk into town, and the stop for the 4 - East Cowes, and 9 - Newport buses across the road in Melville St, which is good for those - like me - who don't care for uphill walks. There one or two issues, but on the whole it's value for money.

    The entrance driveway to the car park was tight but manageable, down a narrow street. It would have been difficult with a large car, especially as other cars were parked right opposite. The house would have been a challenge for guests with mobility problems. Our shower was rather feeble, but worked.

    Good breakfast was available at convenient hours, and served very efficiently with no hassle. All the staff were friendly, and the general atmosphere was relaxed. The whole place was very clean. The spacious car park at the rear was good. Ryde town centre is within easy walking distance.
