Cannot fault our stay here. Beautiful room, comfy bed, good shower. Staff were all really friendly. Breakfast menu had excellent selection plus you could ask to change bits. All fresh cooked, amazing food. We ate there a couple of nights too and food is very reasonable and excellent quality. Easy distance for all attractions.

Superb pub and BnB just outside of Ventnor. The staff were awesome, and the bed and room were really comfortable. The whole trio of Islander pubs / BnB’s on the Isle of Wight, which includes the Buddle, are a real treat to stay in, all of them are superbly well done and extremely welcoming.

Good location characterful pub and a great room

Comfortable room nice bathroom with walk in shower. Plenty of car parking. Good choice of freshly cooked breakfasts. Quiet area with sea view from our room. Access to rooms via outside steps could be improved. Large outside seating area. Evening menu good but for us the portions were too big and there were no lighter options

We recently had the pleasure of visiting the Buddle Inn on the beautiful Isle of Wight, and we can confidently say that it is a hidden gem! Location-wise, the Buddle Inn boasts a stunning setting, nestled against breathtaking coastal views and surrounded by the natural beauty of the island. It's the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the scenery, especially with a drink in hand. The food and drinks were great. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and showcased local ingredients. The wide selection of beverages, including local ales and ciders, complemented the meals perfectly, making for a delightful dining experience. The atmosphere was fantastic – warm, inviting, and vibrant. Whether you were inside enjoying the cozy decor or outside taking in the fresh air, there was always a lively element that made our visit special. What truly stood out, however, were the incredible people at the Buddle Inn. The staff were wonderfully attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was memorable. They were especially welcoming to our dog Della, treating her with the same kindness as their human patrons, and often even better.

Post Festival R&R

Lovely one night stay in this characterful, olde worlde pub, which has undergone recent refurbishment in a very sympathetic manner, therefore the pub itself, rooms & bathrooms are modern with lovely decor. We received a very warm welcome and all the staff we met were very helpful & accommodating. Rooms are accessed via a separate entrance (due to age of the property steps & paths are a little uneven in places) Very clean & spacious (our shower was huge) with lovely sea views. Well stocked tea/coffee tray including water, sweets & biscuits. Large fan for hot weather was very welcome. Communal hallway leading to rooms had wellies available for guests to borrow & a bookcase with lots of local information. We had lunch, evening meal and breakfast during our stay. Excellent menu & everything we had was of good quality and enjoyable, as were the drinks. Really enjoyed the jug of Pimms on the lovely outside terrace/garden area.
