As I had to be on site early, I was going to miss breakfast, not a problem though as there was a well packed breakfast bag ready for me first thing. Lovely hotel, nice staff, will stay again. ##### C Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda, Christchurch 8 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely location friendly staff.

We where allowed to park there to get rid of the car so we could start our break an hour or so early. The staff are lovely, the Manager Den has a lovely quirky sense of humor that made me chuckle. The Room was up a lot of stairs, but the payback, an awesome view. Lovely clean room, could have stayed days. Thank you Clifton. We will return. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0A401411E26ED113B7B612162FB8A40FE987F76F1629009895318.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Pete Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Markus 27 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Long weekend on the Isle of Wight Beautiful Hotel with stunning views on the garden and the sea.

Room was clean with nice extras put out in the bathroom. Breakfast excellent. The hotel garden has won 2 awards and rightly so. Overall, great - we will be back. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 20 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice accommodation and friendly staff Good basic accommodation clean, and nice touches in bathroom.
