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.

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!

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

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.

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.

Room was clean and spacious, comfortable bed. Breakfast was very good. Good range of food. The host was very helpful with suggestions for local restaurants and activities (walks). House was quiet.

Parking was a bit of a pain. I had to park on the street a few streets away.

Everything was available for breakfast which you could help yourself to the whole day including teas and coffee. Location was perfect with a stroll to the beach taking around 5 minutes.

Can't think of anything!

Very friendly and nice owner - he helped us with restaurants, tips to get around the island, what to visit; good breakfast (self service, which was very comfortable and easy, fresh fruit,bread,Joghurt every day), situated close to the center of Ryde, to the beach and ferry (only a walk of 5-10min); I can really recommend that place!!

Some maybe wouldn't like to share a bathroom, but because the House has only two rooms for guest, that means not more than 4 people at the same time, it was no problem at all and the bathroom was very big (it also had a bathtub in the middle of the room, very nice :)!!)

The house is beautifull and Chris is very nice and help full. When we arrived, he took the time to explain all the beautifull things we can see on the island and gave us an alternative when what we had planned was not possible.

I can't really think about something I did not like. I think everything went well.
