McRhon
From
United KingdomOur room faces the sea and gives us a wonderful start to each morning we wake up. We had a lovely breakfast every day, and polite and kind all-around hosts (You're the man, Steve!). Amenities are top-notch (love the pool/billiards table - my partner played his first billiards match here!). I love the spacious bathroom with tub, electric fan, wardrobe and a small fridge for our fresh food. The room is maintained daily by the cleaning staff. I love that they continuously improve and restore the facilities. It is also near the public transport station, giving us access to the city and other interesting locations around the island.
We will certainly consider booking this place again when we go back to the Island!

From
ChinaWe loved the style of the hotel, and the garden is beautiful! Karen and her team were super friendly and helpful throughout our stay — we felt very welcome and well looked after.
The location was excellent. It’s just a short walk to the main bus station in the town centre, which made it really easy for us to get around the island. Whether we were heading north to places like The Needles or south to Ventnor, all the main attractions were easily accessible by bus.
They also hosted a tapas and jazz night on Friday evening, which was a lovely bonus. Breakfast was fab too — fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented.
Great value for money. Highly recommended!

FAQs about hotels in Isle of Wight
Wonders of Wordplay and Nature’s Way
With dramatic cliffs and unspoilt countryside, the Isle of Wight sits off England’s south coast. Ferries from Southampton cross The Solent to Cowes, a sleepy port which bursts into life during its annual regatta – Cowes Week.
Over the inlet is Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s summer home, while Henry VIII was behind the construction of the castle in Yarmouth. Neighbouring Freshwater is the closest town to the multi-coloured sands of Alum Bay. Next door are the Needles which you can’t thread, as the Wonders of the Isle of Wight saying goes. These eroded white cliff formations, one with a lighthouse, extend into the English Channel at the island’s south-western tip.
Near the southern tip is Chale, next to Blackgang Chine children’s amusement park, and close to Ventnor, on a hill sloping to the sea. Around the coast are the most popular beach resorts: Sandown with its nature reserve, and Shanklin with its cute Old Village and the most Isle of Wight hotels with indoor pools on Booking.com. Seaview also has a nature reserve, and nearby Ryde is a Victorian beach resort whose long pier is the docking point for ferries from Portsmouth.
Other hotels on the Isle of Wight are found in Wootton Bridge, with its steam railway, and the county town Newport, home to Carisbrooke Castle.

The breakfast was perfect, lots of choice, perfectly cooked and served. My room was spotless and wonderfully presented on my arrival. And a surprisingly well-stocked hotel bar at reasonable pub prices. I can't praise the wonderful staff any higher as nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with a smile!

Our Hotel was out of Ryde, Wootton Bridge which was lovely. Ryde itself is in places very run down but to be honest a lot of places were closed for the winter.
Can highly recommend the Lakeside Hotel & Spa. The Spa facilities were great! Locally we ate once at the hotel and also at a very local Mediterranean Restaurant called CIBO in Wootton Bridge. Great food and reasonably priced.
The Ferry Terminal is near Ryde. Overall a great location.

Cowes is quite busy and noisy, but we expected that. If you want a quiet IOW break, choose one of the resorts on the other side of the island, but for the buzz of the world's yachting capital stick to Cowes. Bus services to all parts of the island are frequent and plentiful.

A very nice walk, with various shops, cafes, ice cream parlours and the river and sea views. Big car park with easy access and a variety of ways to pay. The ground is flat, no hills. Lovely to sit and watch boats big and small. Toilets are easy to find. Accommodation is plentiful and the ferry is easy to access form Yarmouth. As this is an Island with a bus service nothing is to far away.

The cleanliness of the caravan which was carried out by Aimee and Laura - brilliant team and thank you. The area is nice and a walk around the lake is peaceful. The kiddies play park area is small but close to the restaurant which is helpful.
The restaurant was over priced - a small bottle of coke £4.40 and beef burgers from 17.95 ! The food was tasteless and you did not get a lot for your money. The wait was over an hour - simply not impressed at all. If you want a good meal take yourself to the Crab in Shanklin where a kiddies meal will cost you £3.95 and it is bigger than the adult meal at Rookley. The restaurant was closed on the following evening so no take away available (for those who may have wanted to use it) There was no reasons the staff did not seem to know the answer.
The indoor swimming pool dirty - the water was not clear and the bottom and sides of the pool were slimy - I would not use it again - just because you can smell chlorin does not mean the pool is clean! The lifeguards did not look particularly bothered about was what going on - maybe their wages are too low!?
There is a night club which has kiddie evenings - so for a family that is nice -
It is a real shame as all the facilities are on site but are just not available.
If the aim is self-catering then do that and check around the area for reasonably priced pubs and cafes -

Quaint old fashioned English seaside town.
Quaint old fashioned English seaside town. Plenty of choice as far as eating is concerned both during the day and in the evening. If anything the town suffers generally from under investment but that seemed to be the case with most of the towns on the Isle of Wight. It's quite a walk from the esplanade into the town but there is plenty to make the walk worthwhile with lovely bakeries and several cafeterias. The botanic gardens are lovely with another good cafeteria and you can walk there from the town centre and come back along the coast path via Steephill Bay which is well worth the diversion.
