Hotels near Exbury Gardens and Steam Railway

"Excellent location, comfortable bed, delicious breakfast buffet, dinner was good."

"The property does not have air conditioning, there are no phones in the rooms so if you have an issue or need something, you have to see someone at the desk. There were no washcloths in the bathroom. The beds were hard."

"Beautiful chalet in a beautiful garden. We had breakfast on its small terrace and saw a red squirrel come to watch us! The owners were very kind and attentive. Bonus is there is a shortcut to 5 tennis courts and a basketball court in the adjacent park as well easy walk to Cowes centre."

"Kind of okay, but some of the staff were really bothered if you need anything or ask them a question. At the pub the staff were a bit weird and made us feel not welcomed. Most of them looked very tense and wanted you to get out of their faces quickly. Some of them were good. They should leave more milk bags in the rooms."

"You are paying for the location - and paying quite a bit. Room classed as a "snug" I'd agree."

"The side door was broken to gain access to the property. Had to get the restaurant staff to let us out as we were locked in. Other than that very clean facilities.Shared bathroom was very clean."

"I would call this cheap and cheerful. The rooms are very basic. I stayed on a Friday and Saturday night. I had a twin on Friday night at the front and it was very noisy with people outside. On Saturday I had a double at the back which was quieter but the window opens to a yard with the kitchen fans and it was noisy and smelly with cooking fumes. This double was very small I can’t imagine two people in it. It was also in need of redecoration. The staff were very friendly, can’t fault that. The location was right in the middle of Ryde so very handy for everything. As I said cheap and cheerful!"

"Friendly staff, it would be great to have better dog friendly rooms - food and location great."

"The hotel is very strange and you have to check in online then you get given a code walk to your room and on the wall next to your room is a lockbox where you enter that code to get your key to get into the room all of that takes a very long time and it feels more like a Airbnb rental than an actual hotel. The bar has no drinks to sell and we soon found out in the town that the hotel has recently shut down and reopened under new ownership. My hunch would be the new owners have never run a hotel before."
