The rooms (and beds!) are spacious, comfortable, beautifully decorated and extremely clean. The host is charming and helpful, whilst also very sensitive to letting his guests have their own space and independence. Breakfast is help yourself from a very well stocked supply (that was continually restocked!) We loved having breakfast in the garden in the morning and tea and biscuits there at night. We felt very at home, and well looked after. There is free on-street parking and it's a short walk both to the beach and Ryde town centre. I would not hesitate to return and would highly recommend.

Literally the only thing that occurs to me is that the lid to the french press for the coffee was missing :)

Chris the owner made us feel very welcome, we was the only guests so had the facilities to ourselves, bedroom was very spacious and clean, newly decorated, breakfast was self serve and a great choice of food on offer, the hotel was a short walk to the beach and town, local pub just round the corner, plenty of lovely restaurants within walking distance g distance, we will be returning.

Location and property were excellent, also Chris was a wonderful host. He shared maps of the island, places to visit and eat, things to do during my stay. He answered all questions and was available at all times. He made the stay comfortable, and I felt homely. Chris also explained different ways of getting to Ryde, and I was able to change my ticket to leave on the hovercraft, the only one in the world! Breakfast was good, healthy, lots of fresh fruits, brown bread and croissants, cereals, yogurt, juices, etc. I was missing one thing, which is cheese.

Croissants were fresh first day not after, also I would have liked some cheese with my toast.

great location and street parking....close to the beach, train station, pub and restaurants. Chris and his cats are a great host Nice big comfortable room Breakfast is help yourself when you want it...plenty of healthy options

phone signal/internet a bit dodgy...but like that on whole island

Excellent host, great location, relaxed atmosphere. Breakfast is more than adequate, albeit not cooked. Our bed was clean, large, and comfy, slept great. Garden beautiful, we were able to sit and eat outside.

Shared bathroom, although caused no issues, very large, hot water, good shower, and additional separate toilet.

We liked the spacious Victorian room. The mattress was comfy A lovely garden to sit in

Breakfast. We eat musili and there was fresh fruit. But apart from Peanut Butter little protein I know cooking eggs is a phaff but some boiled eggs are easy and can be left. Some ham or cheese perhaps.

The house is in a great location, set back on a quiet road in Ryde and only a short walk from the town centre and transport links to all parts of the island. We were staying for the Isle of Wight festival and shuttle buses ran throughout the day and night, again just a short walk away. Our room was an excellent size, a range of continental breakfast foods were provided every morning (which was served until later for the festival weekend) and Chris was a very welcoming and engaging host with excellent knowledge of the island. He was on hand to offer advice and recommendations when sought. Thank you for having us, I enjoyed my stay on the Isle of Wight more than a recent trip to Turkey!

We had a fantastic stay at Grantham, the rooms were clean and comfortable and had everything that you could need for a few nights away. There was a good range of options available for breakfast and Chris was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable suggesting where to go in the local area.

Chris the owner was very helpful you could come and go as you pleased. The room was large and the bed even bigger very comfortable. The house has history and is large and Chris has tried to keep it looking as it did years ago. Had a lovely time there.

We obviously hadn't read the details of the holiday properly as didn't realise it was shared bathroom but as the other guests hadn't arrived we had it to ourselves. The bathroom I have to say was lovely

The house was perfectly positioned to explore Ryde and was a 5 min walk from the beach and shops. Chris ,the host, was very informative about local places of interest and getting around. We had a shared bathroom which is huge with a big bath and shower. The bedroom was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast is served downstairs in the big dining room with cereals....bread. ..fruit and also tea and coffee. No hot breakfast but we were happy with that. All in all it was an amazing stay and thanks to Chris for hosting.
