Room was spotlessly clean. All the little extras were thought about. Hosts were truly lovely people.

Situated midway between the beach and town centre, Swiss Cottage gave me a very comfortable stay, and a daily freshly cooked to order breakfast, all provided by the friendly hosts Christine and Keith

Hosts were pleasant and friendly. Bedding was changed when I mentioned it was too warm. Good breakfast. Good room. Comfortable bed. Easy to arrange an extra night.

I had a poor welcome. Fortunately, I decided to stay and see how it worked out. The room was very comfortable and had lots of extras like a small fridge and a good selection of powdered drinks. The shower and toilet and hand basin were high quality with plenty of gels/soaps etc. Towels were high quality. The TV was good, plenty of cupboard and drawer spaces. However, it was impossible to receive emails and Internet. The East Esplanade was two minutes away and access to the Chine and beaches very easy. The bus station was close and access to shops good. I was there for 4 nights and had a very enjoyable time. I thought the separate price for breakfast of £10 was excessive and felt the advertised price should make clear that it was for accommodation only. It's B and not B&B.

Keith and Christine who own this hotel, are very friendly and welcoming. The property is in a perfect location. Short walk to beach, Old Village, transport. The place is spotlessly clean. There are extra toiletries in the rooms, ex. face cleansing pads. complimentary water on first night. Small fridge in room. Breakfast was good. I would recommend it.

Overall ticks all the boxes . In some need of updating , decor , furniture . Mattress too soft for me , a topper or new one would be ideal. Parking was fine. An altercation with the owner and a guest at 1.30 am on my second night didn’t help my sleep . Whilst my room was next door to the entrance , and in all probability not the fault of the owner , regardless , there are other guests in the accommodation to consider. Overall decent for the price .

Our hosts went above and beyond to be helpful and kept us well-informed. Our room was most comfortable. Breakfasts were served speedily and offered us choices eg it's been a long time since I had such excellent kippers. I loved the way our hosts would advise us of the flattest route to where we wanted to go! We left with warm feelings for our stay on Isle of Wight

Swiss Cottage is a good quality, very clean well run Guest House/B&B. It is located close to public transport links and is within walking distance of the old town and esplanade/beach area. Keith and Christine have taken care to add little touches in the guest rooms like a bottle of water on arrival and a good selection of toiletries in case you had forgotten something. Our bed was very comfortable. We had everything we needed in our room and en-suite. The freshly cooked breakfast set you up for the day. We enjoyed a chat with Keith each morning at breakfast and if we wanted any help or information, all we had to do was ask. We would happily stay there again. Connie and John

Half way between seafront and Old Village. Able to access seafront and restaurants easily. Need to reserve table for food most evenings at restaurants.

Bar was not open and was told we were not allowed to take a drink into our room. The bed was awful...too low and felt every spring. Did not sleep at all well. Water far too hot in the bathroom and not showing any warnings of scolding water. Shower over the bath was on a mixer pump which either scolded you or froze you before a comfortable temperature was obtained. The shower screen was fixed to the bath making it very difficult to get in and out of the bath.
