Isle of Wight Hotels

"Entertaining stay! The hotel itself is really nice, it's very clean and tidy throughout, which is so important to me personally. My room was roomy and had all that I required for a one night stay, even longer would have been fine also. the bathroom while a mixture of modern and old fashioned, again was fine for my stay, it had a lovely walking show fitted with a rain head, which was all very nice, toilet & sink though were a horrid pink, bit functional, although the cold tap had to be turned in the wrong directionion to make it work, which is like to see replaced with a new set, so they worked as expected. Breakfast was excellent, the quality of the produce used was excellent and this alone would make me return for another stopover, which I shall. My only criticism is that the fire alarm went off just after midnight, which turned into a right nightmare, as there was noone on site form the hotel itself, so 4 of us were left to try and resolve the problem, which resulted in the fire brigade having to attend and reassure us that we could rest easy for the rest of the night, what a bloody pain that was in the early hours. "

"The superb and kind staff make The Dorset a success! It enjoys a convenient location and feels like you're staying with old friends."

"Booked as hotel had a swimming pool - was never advised pool closed as waiting on parts "

"We enjoyed a room with a sea view on the first floor but struggled to get our luggage up the stairs. The room was clean and comfortable with day bed, writing desk and single chair. Good size TV and mini fridge also with tea and coffee making facilities. The remote controlled window blinds were a nice touch."

"Great location for walking to Cowes centre and for the chain ferry to East Cowes. Comfortable room although very hot and impossible to turn the one radiator (in bedroom) off. Decent breakfast although some of the cooked items could have been hotter. Overall I would recommend and be happy to stay again. "

"This is a very well-located hotel, with well-appointed rooms. We enjoyed our meal in the restaurant. The negative is the thumping bass in the bar/restaurant...it seemed OK at dinner, but was unpleasant at breakfast time. Our beautiful suite, the Victoria Suite, was right above the bar/restaurant and the bass from around 7.30 am to 11.30 pm detracted from an otherwise lovely stay. So if you are noise sensitive I would suggest choosing a room well away from the bar/restaurant. If you aren't, you will enjoy the view from the balcony and the decadent bathroom!"

"The property needs attention to detail, mould around ceiling of bathroom, loose light fitting in bathroom where plaster kept falling out, loose socket in bedroom, curtains with food stains on them. Extractor hood covered in dust. Large dip in floor to main bedroom. Lovely quiet park until 20 mins before check out when they wanted to empty the hot tub. Parking space right for a bigger vehicle and the door lock to the lounge doors extremely stiff. Great location but just needs that attention to detail if had paid full high season price would have definitely been asking for a reduction or change. "

"Rooms bet clean, staff were excellent. "

"Nice pub, pool was good"
