First impression: The hotel was very welcoming with comfy sofas, a large screen TV and a bar to the side of the reception area. This was a nice space to use when the weather was too wet one evening and we had a good old chat with Angie who works there. The downstairs breakfast room was very pleasant as were the yummy breakfasts which included David's home-made marmalade which we bought as we were leaving. However there was a bit of a drama later as someone hadn't put the top on properly and my other half didn't check either. There was a bit of a sticky mess in my bag but it's all sorted now. The hotel is handy for most things in Ryde including local transport and the sea front. Also just round the corner was the Bus and Coach Museum which (surprisingly) was very interesting. The room we had was a bit small and the mattress was too soft for me but we were told if we had booked into one of the superior rooms we would have got a harder mattress. What an incentive to book again! That, the orange marmalade (with a secure lid) and the really friendly staff of course. We will be back! - Lizzie W
We were most impressed with the speed at which cooked breakfasts were delivered to the tables and the standard of the various items, supplies of orange juice, milk, coffee, etc. being frequently topped up when running low.Much nicer than the "breakfast buffet" in other establishments, as all our breakfasts were cooked and served to order.Our beds were warm and comfortable and on a particularly cold, wet day, the heater on the wall "took the chill off".A heated towel rail in the bathroom would have been welcome as towel still wet the next day.Also, we would have liked a rail on which to hang our clothes, as well as a hook on the inside of the room door for our outer coats.The room was spotlessly clean as each day it was serviced.ON A HEALTH & SAFETY NOTE, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE A CENTRAL RAIL ON THE STOPS OUTSIDE THE HOTEL.Once again, this being our 2nd stay with you in 2 years, thank-you so much for your excellent hospitality, to Michael and your staff.With our best wishes,Sue & Dave CockleVanguard Ramblers- COCKLE Dave & S
