This charming seaside town boasts a historic pier where you can catch ferries or enjoy classic arcade games. Explore Ryde's sandy beaches at low tide, then visit Appley Tower and the Isle of Wight Steam Railway nearby.
Hotel was to our liking and close to train, pub and historical steam train.
We enjoyed the historical Arcade Building and the Historical Center in the basement.

A lovely, very well maintained inn with a restaurant and pub, within walking distance of the ferry terminal. First rate menu with daily specials including fresh seafood. Pub has local ales on hand-pull. Spotless clean rooms with daily maid service. Friendly and competent staff. Note that this establishment is located in a residential neighborhood, so no other stores nearby.

We were so comfortable staying at this hotel! The staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make us feel at home. We were absolutely amazed at the space available to the guests in the common area!

Stayed here for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Had 2 excellent evening meals in the Brasserie. Spa treatments need to be booked in advance. There was no availability for my wife in our stay. However, used the spa pool and hot rooms after a day's long walk (Freshwater Bay well recommended for this) which were excellent.

The room was just what we wanted, with two twin beds. The wi-fi worked easily, and the bathroom was very up-scale. The lounge felt welcoming, which expanded the size of our living space. We loved the breakfast, which was both professionally put together and personalized. We felt welcomed by the hosts, who gave us excellent directions and suggestions. A very pleasant stay!

Cute, cozy room with a nice view of the countryside. Easy parking lot out back. Had dinner while we were there, which was excellent. Would recommend and stay again.

This Little inn in the harbor of Portsmouth was so charming! Jeremy was the best and took very good care of us. The breakfast was impeccable and our room was adorable. I would highly recommend this little gem.

Congenial staff at this property worked hard to make sure our stay was enjoyable. We were able to check in a bit earlier after a long travel day. Comfortable and spotlessly clean, each room whimsical in decor. Fantastic breakfast added to our quite lovely experience!

Our time here was split over 2 separate stays….we stayed 3 nights when we came in and a couple weeks later for 5 nights. Both stays were very nice. The staff are all very nice, cheerful and helpful. We did not do breakfast there but we did use the restaurant several times for dinner and it was good. Location on the dockside is awesome and both stays we had a view over the dock. By our US standards the rooms are smallish BUT the bed in both was Kingsize. Maybe the only thing I did not like so...

The hotel location was walking distance to the Norwegian Cruise Line terminal which worked out perfectly. It was also a quick walk from the bus that we took in from London after flying in. Great atmosphere, great food, and just a overall great time. Would definitely return!

Granted, it’s not the most lavish hotel room I’ve ever had but you simply can’t get a better location! Breakfast is included and Wi-Fi doesn’t require a pesky password. Shopping is right outside the door (the hotel is actually part of a shopping mall) and there are tons of restaurants around, many of which offer discounts to guests of the hotel. City center is walking distance. Isle of Wight ferry is also right there. Absolutely wonderful place to stay in Portsmouth for a visit or before a...
