From the moment we arrived was a perfect fit, originally staying one night & booked another - great location and pub interior makes such a difference as soon as you walk in as exterior very traditional. Staff were super helpful, love it's dog friendly too as also makes a difference to clientele! Thanks to Phil, Drew, Hayley & Chelsea - fab service and local knowledge!

A Little Gem

This hotel is a gem nestling above the beach st Bembridg with great views out to sea. It is in a great location for coastal walks, a 10 walk to the bus towards Newport and Ryde. It is just 15 to 20 minute walk from the village. Our room, Culver, was spacious and comfortable. The shower ensuite was particularly good, with a gentle monsoon shower at perfect temperature. We ate there too the first night and the food was excellent. Breakfast was particularly good. It is the first hotel I've stayed in that offers smashed avocado with your choice of eggs for breakfast. And with all this, the staff were very friendly and helpful. I woukd recommend the Crab & Lobster whole heartedly.

The location is fantastic. The room we had was near the kitchen vent so was a little noisy as the vent ran all day. There seemed to be staffing issues as the rate included breakfast but after sitting and waiting for more than 1 hour we gave up on breakfast and walked into town with two other couples staying at the Inn.

A Bad Mussel Day.

Our bedroom (The Nab) was very comfortable and spacious with great sea views. We were surprised that our main dish of mussels (described as 1 kg but more like a half) was inedible - grossly overcooked with multiple empty or cracked shells. Amazed the chef did not notice when he plated the mussels. Anyway they responded instantly by taking the cost off the bill and giving us two desserts on the house, so all was forgiven and we will return.

Excellent with very minor niggles

Booked sea view room (Nab) it was excellent. Large & airy with windows on two sides & excellent sea view. Only slight niggle, the bath could do with an anti-slip mat. Nearly slipped whilst having a shower. Also, grab handle on wall would be helpful for those of us not quite so nimble. However, that niggle was slightly countered by the fact that the extractor fan actually worked - most unusual! The food in the restaurant was plentiful & delicious, apart from the pudding! The chocolate brownie had the rasberry gel missing and the Eton Mess had no ice cream. I think the chef was rushing to get home! Breakfast was fantastic! Staff were cheerful, friendly & efficient. Bottom line, that will be the place we stay next time we go to the IOW.
