The Boat House - Isle of Wight

Unfortunately it was a disappointing stay. Nothing wrong with the room, the service let it down. In the evening I stood at the bar nearly half an hour waiting to order food, only one person serving and I couldn’t blame her she was trying. So I went elsewhere. Twice I asked about the time breakfast started and both times I was told 8.00. At 8.15 in the morning the door to the restaurant was still locked, so I just left as I had a job to get to. I won’t be staying here again.

Reasonable size rooms with all facilities needed.

Stay there frequently and is always a good stay. Thanks

Had such a wonderful overnight stay at the boathouse. Great location, room, staff and food. Will definitely be returning.

Well located overlooking the beach , with very friendly staff and comfortable rooms. An excellent overnight stay

Lovely property, fairly recently refurbished, right across the road from the beach. it’s located just between Ryde and Seaview, both of which are accessible via the coastal path. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated giving it a calm ambience. The bathroom has a shower and a bath. Breakfast was exceptional with great choices and really well cooked food.

Kind & helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. Alex went above and beyond, and room was lovely decor and very clean and my breakfast was excellent, sadly i couldnt finish it as i felt unwell, but absolutly great breakfast, The whole team are amazing here, im sure i will be back.

A cosy sea front hotel above a pub. Room 404 had superb bay window for admiring the view of the beach and sea across to The Spinaker Tower. The room is bright ,warm plenty of lights, mirrors and storage. A few things are a bit tired, curtains don't close properly, chest of drawers damaged and sink worn but comfortable bed and efficient shower over bath .Friendly staff and guest entrance when staff not on duty. Good value .

Perfect service and very nice

Was over there for the Ryde 10 race. 15 min walk along the beach to town, lovely sea views and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Esp. as 2 of our party were vegans. Vegan breakfast was on the menu and the chef specially prepared an evening mean, so excellent service.

Lovely location and our third stay. First stay was 2015 and the rooms had been renewed and were lovely. Again visited 2017. Our room had a lovely bay window over looking the Solent but fair to say the furniture was worse for west and in need of replacement with burn marks and splits on surfaces. Curtain rails bizarrely didn’t pull across full window so we had to improvise. Bathroom was tired at best - sink badly cracked and toilet on need of a good bleach and bathroom corners etc in need of a clean from cobwebs and dust. Breakfast on first day - Sunday was excellent - truely great food - different chef day 2 not so good but back to excellent standards the following day. However tables were all sticky - each day - with cutlery and plates needing a good pull from the table top. In summary we love the location - with good walks in each direction - great sea views from room but the standard has fallen and whole place in need of refresh. Patio area outside also needs a spruce including simply sweeping away winter leaves and a clean.

Great place to stay,Fantastic food and right on the sea front

Absolutely brilliant stay - the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. Will definitely be back!

A lovely warm welcome. Our room was great with a sea view and an en-suite.

I genuinely can’t fault the level of customer service. I was a demanding guest too eg I spilt a large glass of orange juice over the upholstered chair and the carpet. And that was just one example! The breakfasts were superb.The entrance was private so I didn’t have to go through the pub/ restaurant part to get to my room. It was literally a stone’s throw away from the beach and on the coastal path. Every single staff member was friendly and helpful. I ate in the restaurant a few times and the food was lovely. My room was smallish but fine for just me and the bed so comfy. The bathroom was large and had a jacuzzi bath ! Just to add the cherry on top, the weather was perfect for my 5 day break. I hope to return one day.

Friendly staff. Pleasant & clean room. Lovely breakfast

Lovely hotel in a great location

Very good- room small but ok no sea view was only negative. Breakfast great dinner menu limited and not changed all week.

Comfortable room for a family with 2 young children. Very friendly staff too. We would definitely come again.

We had a lovely stay over the bank holiday. Perfectly located close to lovely beaches and the ferry. We did not have a car but enjoyed are time anyways. The staff is AMAZING, they even helped us getting a taxi and driving us to the ferry station when the taxi didn't arrive. Can highly recomemmend
