Adrian, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What a great hotel. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival and really helpful sorting parking and making up a pullout bed. The major benefit of this hotel is the great communal area that has a pool table air hockey table tennis, and a kitchen and bar area where you can bring your own food and drinks Which was great for our 2 teenagers. The rooms were lovely, really clean and comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again

Such a good weekend away

Had an amazing stay here the place was so nice with so much to do and the staff were so lovely. Very close to all the cute little spots. Definitely will be coming back to stay again.!
Rachel, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Found a gem with this one !! Gorgeous boutique hotel where the staff have all run off and abandoned the place so you can stay at a sensible price. This is now my no1 place to stay when travelling to the IOW (and that’s without using the sauna and hot tubs.) Steve and Mubi are great hosts and are doing a great job in covering for the missing staff ??
Nick, 1-night trip

Les, 1-night trip

Everyone here is super kind, and the rooms are big, comfy, and look amazing! The design vibes are on point. If you're into table tennis or billiards, this place is a total win.
Erman, 1-night trip

Beautiful and wonderfully quirky

One of my favourite hotels to stay in. Very homely, the beds are incredibly comfy and the whole hotel is beautifully decorated and I love how quirky it is. Love the games/bar area and self service kitchen. The owners always friendly and accommodating. Look forward to staying again.

Afamefuna, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

we booked because the listing implied it had a sauna but on investigation it was not included and required a significant additional payment and as the booking was non refundable there was no point to cancel. we did not go.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

Fantastic place to stay with super hosts

Our host, Mubi, was fantastic and she couldn’t have made us feel more welcome. She showed us to our room and gave us a tour of the spa. Fantastic place to stay and beautiful rooms.
