Breakfast was great, waitress service, lovely food very good
The staff are helpful, informative and very pleasant
The roast dinner was cold
There was a huge cobweb in the room
The TV is diabolical, to use any streaming services would be OK if you had hours to wait around

Great location, really interesting original interior in the lobby and dining rooms and tasty breakfast.
Slightly inconsistent communication from the staff relating to problem with power and restaurant times. We were given a discount to make up for it. The decoration of the bedroom was completely unmatched to the original arts and craft building which felt such a shame.

Felt special to stay in this grand old house with wood paneled walls and corridors and beautiful stained glass windows. The room overlooking the sea was so lovely. I also like the unstuffy approach, it's a comfortable place to enjoy.
The double bed was a little small, beautiful wooden design but not long or wide enough. My only grumble.

stayed with our 2 dogs and the room was perfect for them with a wooden floor and a small enclosed garden outside.
The bed was comfortable but it was a bedstead frame which is too big for the room.
The location is great for a walk on the beach and there is plenty of room in the car park.
We had a good evening meal in the bar area.
The full English breakfast wasn't great. Tough sausages, 1 large mushroom and half a tomato both of which were under cooked.
The evening meal of fish and chips was good but the beef cheeks, though tasty, were only warm.

Love staying here. 3rd time. Love the room, super clean and comfy.
Leaving my room the fab housekeeper stopped to check on my stay. Lovely lovely lady.
Coffee machine was broken. They could do with 2 as my friends and i had to leave and go elsewhere and i wanted us to stay at the hotel.
Sadly, I am being picky here, I walked away yesterday, brought my case and stuff down, dropped my key off, 2 staff on the front desk, no acknowledgement, no thankyou, no goodbye, no see you again. Felt abit sad about that.

Breakfast was great with a good choice of cereal, fruits, crossiants, etc. Also a hot cooked breakfast
Room was a little small with no wardrobe however for the 2 nights we stayed it was adequate

The location and view over the sea. Breakfast overlooking the Isle of Wight Needles.
Breakfast was usually served in the dark panelled front room but luckily we were allowed to have breakfast in the back room overlooking the sea - so much better and you could see your breakfast :0)
It was January and very cold but it felt cosy and staff were welcoming.
Unfortunately we had a bad experience on the first night - we stayed in the cottage suite (2 rooms and a bathroom) right next to the care home, with care assistants attending who use the buzzer alarm system. This is right next to the back bedroom of the flat. It turned out there was a fault on the entry system - not a good nights sleep - A high pitched noise sounded every 60 seconds during the night - but it was hard to tell where the noise was coming from. Having found out what it was the next morning - 'Caz' saved the day and phoned the care home to sort it out. The second night was a much better sleep. The window frame in the room needs fixing/replacing though as there was a wide gap when closed and probably didnt help with the noise the previoius night. Reported this and hopefully Caz will be on the case. Overall the stay was good and the staff saved the day. Maybe need a rug on the carpet to hide the stains - as the bedding and curtains were very nice and this would improve it further :0)

We've stayed before and everything was great, this time the only good thing was the location
On arrival the receptionist was flustered and ignored us in favour of a supplier!
We had expected to eat at the hotel but we were not informed of the closure of the restaurant until we arrived back at the hotel in the evening.
We also found the radiator in the front bedroom was not working with no other alternative heating on a extremely cold night.
So all in all a poor experience 😕

Comfortable beds and friendly staff
Windows in bedrooms and bathrooms don't open. No extractor fan or aircon to compensate for no natural air source through windows.
Only dreadful, tastleless butter available for those of us who are not vegan/vegetarian. Poached eggs were completely tasteless. No salmon available for those who had selected poached eggs with salmon.

Staff faultless, Room had real Character, Hotel setting and location were all excellent.
Property was a bit tired in parts but, given it's age, we accept it may be difficult to mantain, food acceptable but not to the high standards we would expect at this level / cost of hotel.
5.0 / 10.0
Liked bedrooms and staff. Excellent selection of teas and coffee in the bedrooms.
Extremely poor telephone answering service - we gave up trying to get through in advance of our stay. This left us feeling as though the system is designed not to answer and have to deal with callers' enquiries.
Far preferred the complimentary water being served in glass bottles not cans during our last visit.
Most noticeable, was the decline in the quality and service of cooked breakfast, which has been a big plus in past years.

It was a bit tired and in need of some renovation. Wifi was poor in certain areas. It was a bit chilly in the lower floors where we would have liked to have had an open fire

Breakfast was good and good location
The room was small, claustrophobic, inadequately equipped (not even a shelf in the bathroom for toothbrushes etc) , no wardrobe. Not as described by booking.com and nothing like photos
Pillows were uncomfortable
Staff were disinterested

We arrived early allowed to sign in car and go for a walk, rather than having to find a local car park.
Excellent large double bed, linked so it could make twins, but gives so much extra space really comfortable, we slept well.
Brilliant views from upstairs open areas directly onto the needles. Outside seating area looked great not used as we visited in November could imagine it be really relaxing in the summer.
Good nights sleep, then delicious breakfast. My wife is vegetarian and very happy with her options.
Neary forgot to mention, wonderful show over the bath, all very clean.
Comfy room.
Is above the kitchen, so extractors are noisy until the kitchen finishes. Fine after that.
Found the room very warm, fan did not work so had to open windows. So a little bit of road noise but to bad at this time of year.

This is a beautiful historic hotel on the beach. We loved our stay here & wished it could have been longer. The rooms are large, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The staff were amazing (Stuart) went out of his way to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. We had dinner & breakfast in the restaurant which was lovely. We would definitely stay again.

Exceptional location!
The staff. We’ve been visiting twice (or more) a year for the last 8 years. It’s our ‘go to’ place for any dates of significance (anniversaries, birthdays etc). Sadly, over the years the property, and more so the staff, have deteriorated. We love our visits and it’s such a special place for us but the staff were so rude on our last visit, it could be our last. Equally, the standard of cleanliness has dropped too. We had hair left all over our bath, one in the sink and even in the bed - very disappointing indeed.

Stuart was great - a real credit to the wonderful atmosphere of a traditional seaside holiday home and now a hotel
Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Good location, good food, good service (although some of the staff were a bit quirky!)
After dinner there was no atmosphere, no post dinner drinks in the bar. Problem being the bar is located directly in the lobby by main stairs - bit of a strange set up

Excellent breakfast,
We had not realised that there were very steep and narrow stairs where we stayed in the cottage. My husband has difficulty walking and found this a problem.
