No exhaust fan in the bathroom which made the floor sticky and slippery. Only one bedside table. There was enough room for a small table and two chairs which would have made it easier to make a cup of tea. Noisy fridge. Had to turn it off during the night.

Nicola

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room was great, beds comfortable, location is great. Unfortunately, we were placed near an outdoor smoking area even though we had a 6year old child. The Internet and TV access was awful, you couldn't watch half the channels, and the internet cut out constantly. Not great when you're sitting in a room at night with your child. I expect it would be noisy in peak summer periods.

Excellent location along the esplanade & friendly staff. Very hard mattresses-checked out a day early due to same. Very loud from the bar/bistro downstairs- very difficult with toddler/baby to get them to sleep (not hotels fault) just something we didn’t consider. Average cleanliness- dirty/stained carpet , skirting boards & lights inside in need of deep clean. Very minimal parking outside room therefore had to park on street- although we booked during peak period. Otherwise hotel located in a great area with stunning bay views.

“Unexpected guest in the walls…”

Stayed here for 3 nights and the room itself was fine — pretty average in terms of cleanliness and amenities, nothing fancy but did the job. Unfortunately, the experience took a turn when a possum somehow made its way into the room. Yes, you read that right — an actual possum. Staff were quick to respond and managed to block its entry, but there wasn’t anyone on the property to chat to. I appreciated the attempt. But the drama didn’t end there. All night long, the possum (or possibly its noisy relatives) scratched and thumped around in the walls. It was like trying to sleep next to a wildlife documentary. Would’ve been a decent stay if not for the uninvited nocturnal guest and the chorus of wall scratching that followed. Great if you’re into rustic charm and surprise animal encounters — otherwise, bring earplugs.

Close to local restaurants and cowes beach. Reception staff extremely friendly and helpful as were the bistro staff. We had a 3 night stay and bed not made next day and no tea and coffee re supplied. Yesterday staff neglected to leave any toilet paper but bistro helped us out as we only realised this at 6:20pm. Meals is bistro a very large serving We upgrade to a different room which had two queen beds although we only needed one. Bed fairly hard and uncomfortable and bathroom cleaning could do with a bit of extra work especially shower curtain rail Couldn’t fault the female receptionist on our arrival
