A great place to stay...

Liked: I was in the classic double room to start with which was really comfortable. There was a little problem with the flush. The landlords organised an upgrade for me which was even better! There are two chefs, Dean and Jes who took turns to cook me a lovely breakfast every morning. They are friendly and efficient and both cook deliciously fluffy srambled eggs on toast. Nothing was too much trouble. The beds were comfortable and I had help with my heavy case both coming in and going out. I didn't have any other meals but breakfast as I,was visiting a friend who lives nearby and we ate at hers. I've heard that the roast on a Sunday is excellent though. They have two island beers on offer and they sited opposite Osborne House and just down the road from East Cowes Red Funnel ferry and the chain ferry to get to Cowes.There is a convenient bus stop outside which takes you to a big Waitrose close to the ferries, bus 4 or 5, or Ryde bus no. 4, or Newport bus number 5, if you go in the opposite direction.Dogs are welcome too, which is a great feature all over the island. Dogs are generally welcome in most eateries and quite a lot of shops.Dogs very much enjoy Osborne Gardens but they must stay on a lead. There's lots to see and sniff there for dogs and their people. The Prince of Wales pub has had a face lift downstairs and you get a very good welcome.
Disliked: I had no complaints that weren't dealt with immediately. I was on the second floor and thought my bedrooms, first room 8 and then room 9 were quiet. Room 9 does face the road though which is busy, but quietens down after 11.30. It might bother some people. There is no lift, so it might be hard for those less mobile to climb the stairs.

I enjoyed my stay and...

Liked: The staff were very friendly and courteous, the room was very good, great hot shower. The food was very tasty and plentiful with good service. Wifi signal was as good as anywhere else.
Disliked: There is no getting away from it, the whole place (besides the bedrooms) needs a makeover, plaster and paint peeling from the walls as you head up to the accomadation.

Very good
