Good location after a trip round Osborne. Serviced but a young lady named Rachel who helped us with everything we needed to know about the rooms and food nothing seemed to much for her. Definitely will be back

Great service

Amazing lunch today. Four of us throughly enjoyed our meals the presentation was brilliant as well as the food can’t fault it at all. 4 very happy and very full people. Great value for money. 
The decor of the pub is currently up and coming and the toilets which is important look great. Very clean and very efficient staff 

Amazing food

Stayed three nights in the Arthur Room which is Single room at the back of the Hotel.
Decent size room containing single bed, bedside drawers, wardrobe and side table with kettle and tea/coffees. There was a small tv on the wall which could be turned to face the bed. The en-suite was very good. Modern, bright and clean. The shower was excellent with movable shower head and folding glass door. The water was hot and plentiful. Each day I was provided with a clean large bath sheet and a hand towel. Very impressive. The room was warm and the bed was comfortable. The window could be opened and secured. Lighting was a mixture of a lovely overhead light which cast beautiful shadows on the ceiling and traditional bedside lamp. 
I thought the Hotel side of the place had a nice up-market feel. The entrance, stairs and corridors were tastefully decorated with lovely pictures following the theme of Queen Victoria's children (the rooms are all named after one of them) but personally I felt the downstairs let the place down a bit as the bar and restaurant felt like a local pub, which is absolutely okay but didn't quite match the rest of the hotel. 
You had to walk through the bar to get to the restaurant which was bright and sunny. Although I didn't eat there during the day or evening I had breakfast each morning - there was a selection of cereals, tea, coffee, OJ and a choice of cooked breakfasts which was freshly cooked and promptly served. I can recommend the perfectly poached eggs on thick buttered brown toast. There was a choice of Newspapers to read.
The staff were perfectly lovely. Very friendly and welcoming and seemed genuinely please to see me. 
Location is only ten minutes away from the Red Funnel Ferry from Southampton which makes it a useful place for a late arrival/early departure. Everywhere else on the island is only a maximum of a 30 minute drive away therefore its a good base for a weekend touring break. There is a large car park. 
I would stay there again.

Top Notch Single Room

Room really good very very clean, service very good, food could not fault it .   Had the chicken burger was delicious partner had fish and chips very good size portions.  Would definitely recommend.  Very friendly bar over all best we have stayed on isle so far

One night stay

Enjoyed our stay a lot. Friendly an relaxed atmosphere. Very good breakfast. Nice room. Had fantastic evening playing jukebox and socialising and singing with locals. Very close to Osborne house too. One thing which let us down was the weak presure of the shower.

Great bank holiday stay

The breakfast was really good, our room whilst small was comfortable enough and most importantly clean. I was pleased that the shower had decent power and warm water. The room was quiet, although on a Saturday night you have to accept that a pub with entertainment is going to have some noise and the drag queen was very good and finished at a reasonable time). 
Location is great, we got the No.5 bus from Newport (15mins and literally stops at the pub door!) and literally cross the road to Osborne House. Evening food is not available but they recommended the Victoria Tavern which did tasty food with friendly service about 15mins walk away.
A few things we would suggest for improving is teaspoons in the room and it to be clear that the pub is actually closed until 3pm in the week, rather than just this being the check in time. This is totally on us for not getting in touch, but we did try to leave our bags around 1130 before going to Carisbrooke Castle (understanding we wouldnt get to go to our room) but it was locked up. Not their fault, but something to be aware of if you want to do the same.


Victorian Pub, comfortable enough

Me and my partner stayed for the weekend. Upon arrival we didn't realise it was on a main road. But as we went inside and was shown to our room we were pleasantly surprised as we couldn't hear the road to our relief. The room was clean and nice and the bathroom was the same. The only bad thing I would say is the shower was too small. Me and my partner are both small but it was very cramped. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. And the breakfeast was ok. I would go back as we did enjoy our stay. 

Friendly and welcoming. 

Five minute drive from the ferry terminal, opposite entrance to Osborne House. Its a pub with rooms, interesting historic building. Staff were all friendly,  room was really nice, spotlessly clean. We were on the top floor in a bit of a heatwave so it was quite hot but they had opened all the windows and set a fan going.  Breakfast was nice. Car park to the side. Would stay again 

Nice stay

This was very cheap compared to other places we looked at. It is certainly not 5 star (3 star on the blurb) but the rooms are clean and comfortable and the showers nice and hot. Full English breakfast will set you up for the day.  The location is excellent. The bus stop is literally outside the pub and the buses run to East Cowes one way and Newport or Ryde the other way. This obviously means that you will get traffic noise at night but the buses stop running after about 12 midnight so not too much of a problem. 

The bar itself is like an old fashioned bar used to be. Don't expect anything too fancy but the staff were very helpful and friendly, There is a nice pub garden to use if weather is good, as it was when we were there, 

The bus service on the I o W is second to none...just buy a rover type ticket (ours was £16 for 48 hours) and you can pretty much cover the island! You are also within spitting distance of Osborne House. In fine weather you could spend most of the day at Osborne House, there is so much to see and plenty of room for s picnic on the private beach. In the evening we got a bus to E Cowes, took a  a short walk to the chain=link ferry service, then another short walk in to trendy Cowes where you will find lots of boutiquey style shops and many restaurants. The chain link ferry runs till very late..12.30am and the last bus the other side was about 11.50 so you get plenty of time to have a meal and a drink and then be deposited right outside the pub. 

If you want expensive, 5 star modern accommodation.  (no a/c here) try somewhere in Cowes itself but if you want a place to sleep that is clean and comfortable and very down to earth, this is a good place. Make sure you check when the restaurant is open as I think it changes depending on day/covid/weather. We cannot comment on evening meals there as we ate out each day.

Excellent location and price on a very good bus route.

Room was clean and although had separate bathroom had own key and was very clean, breakfast was nice but could do with more options ...the only downside didn't get much sleep as was several people shouting and banging the doors until 3am .
