Stayed for one night made very welcome by Paul when we arrived. Room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast order taken on arrival which certainly speeded things up in the morning. Would most certainly stay again and would certainly recommend to friends.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was damp with wallpaper coming away from the wall in the bedroom and black mould on the bathroom ceiling - the shower didn't work until the 3rd day we were there and there was no heating on for anyone. Mould around window frames as the condensation was appalling-... More

On arrival you are greeted by Paul. He seemed nice enough although this was the last time I saw him throughout my stay, in fact it was the last time I saw anyone. Despite it being peak season, I was the only person staying there over a 3 day period. The bar was closed. It was creepy and felt like... More

Our five day stay at the friends Hotel was a very pleasant experience at a good value for money price. We were part of a coach party joining from many different pick up points and though arriving after a long journey, we were received in a very friendly manner and dinner was first class. This theme continued throughout our stay.... More

The four of us really enjoyed our stay, our rooms were on the ground floor near the bar but this was not a problem. The food was good, and was catered for well (i'm a vegi) the location is ideal away from the narrow streets of the seafront but near enough to walk to the pier and seafront bars.The train... More

We travelled with 11 teenage boys, 2 toddlers, mums, dads & a grandmother and finding hotels to suit everyone can be difficult. After last year's experience at the Tarvic 2 Hotel in Sandown, some of us were a bit wary of staying at... More
