Rooms have Great sea view., spacious room. The staffs were friendly and helpful. They provide good quality toiletries and beverages. The problem is it’s on the top of a pub which is not very functional and closes early. For food you need to travel or order online. Also, there are no staffs on site overnight/no 24/7 reception service. We could find few spaces on the room which were dusty, specially the showpiece area over the bed. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and I wish them good luck.

Lovely rooms, both with sea views and in excellent condition. Friendly staff. Good location right opposite the beach and walking distance into Ryde.

Would have loved more vegan options for food - yoghurt and cereals and more fruit for breakfast would have been great. Lunch only had one option which was battered banana, which although tasty, I would have much preferred some healthier options. Do expect some noise from the pub downstairs as very noisy through the ceiling until 10.30pm - to be expected when staying at a pub, but noting for those planning an early night, you may not get to sleep straight away!

The bath! With jets - Nice roomy bathroom . Exceeded expectations. Including toiletries. Thank you Particularly soothing after walking all day.

Got to get that wood-burner going! Particularly in winter season. Would have kept me in the bar/purchasing more jamieson I suspect. Or is it just for show?! / aesthetic prop... Either I'd have spent more than the logs cost. And, would have enhanced my stay there. I wouldn't have even mentioned (or brought attention to) that the back door was insecure. Made no difference to.us.

The view from the room was absolutely beautiful where we caught the sunrise and had a view of the Spinnaker Tower(Portsmouth), bathroom as neat and warm. The breakfast included was wholesome and we had dinner one night which was really good too. Nice touch with the classical radio in the room and the staff were friendly and helpful.

At night, it gets a little difficult to get to the hotel(if you do not have a vehicle). It is either the main road(no footpath) or the pathway from the beach(no light up till a certain point). SO we had to plan and get back earlier than we liked.

Lovely place - food was exceptional & staff friendly & helpful. We chose it as a base for a few days while we were on the Island to be able to clear out my late aunt's flat - it was a 5 minute drive away. Our room had a spa bath, which was a lovely extra as we were aching at the end of each day after clearing the flat

Beds were too soft for my liking - I like my mattresses firm. The cups weren't cleared away from our room & the water wasn't replaced, but it was very quickly resolved by the Manager (Rob) who was fantastic.

The staff were amazing - a special thanks to Alex who was so thoughtful and kind - he set the tone for the whole stay by being lovely! Carol(ine!) who was a joy at breakfast and to Marie for making everything so spick and span. We loved everything - the food (homemade bread of dreams) to sea views, quiet clean rooms, to an excellent gin selection. Thank you.

We couldn’t fault it… maybe some people might feel disappointed it is by the road but it is very quiet and you look straight out to sea.

Lovely spot - nice seaviews from our room and the pub's outdoor seating area. Breakfast was tasty and a nice selection of items. We also had dinner here on the evening we arrived, which was also good. Room was clean and comfortable.

Room was just a little tired e.g. there were curtain hooks missing so the curtains didn't quite close around the lovely bay window, and there was some water staining on the ceiling from a (presumed) previous leak.

A lovely relaxing place to stay for a few nights away. Right on the coastal path so great for walking; a really good place to explore the rest of the Isle of Wight from and a great place to swim in the sea too! Lovely food, great selection of drinks and lovely staff. The breakfast is exceptional, great vegan choices too and all bread is home baked. Just perfect.

Nothing!

Fourth time of staying at The Boathouse. The bedrooms are comfortable, very clean and light and airy. The staff are exceptional, nothing is too much trouble. The breakfasts are good with plenty of choice. My only concern is poor lighting in car park and over steps to the side entrance. Not good when negotiating access at night.

Great location, easy to find and plenty of parking. Our room was very comfortable with nice decor and great sea views. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Really good breakfast included in the price, lots of choice and just delicious. Great service too. Nice little extra touch with fresh water in the room each day and fresh milk provided on request for tea/coffee in the room. We had our evening meals at the pub too as the food was so good and there was plenty of choice. Some of the best food we have had in a long time.

no negatives but maybe a few extra teabags / sugar etc = although when we asked, it wasnt a problem for them to provide. shower wasn’t the best - it did the job but could have been a bit more powerful, not sure that there is much can be done as its an older property and I guess older plumbing.
