The Royal, Isle of Wight

My character filled room which featured all the necessities of a top class hotel.  Although modernised over the years, the room retained an old fashioned charm.  My bed was extremely comfortable.  It was also extremely quiet. The views from my room over the hotel’s garden and pool and the sea was another highlight.

The hotel’s facilities. These facilities including the outdoor heated swimming pool which I used regularly during my stay.  The dining areas complemented the hotel’s `old world’ feel and charm.  The dining room’s grand chandeliers, the colonial style conservatory and the geranium covered terrace were especially memorable.

 The food. Our package included all breakfasts and dinners and the quality of the food was excellent. It’s easy to see why the hotel has been included in every Michelin Good Food Guide since its introduction.

  The location. The hotel is ideally located to explore surrounding attractions including the beach, downtown Ventnor and the picturesque Botanical Gardens. Fortunately, during our stay, the Isle lived up to its reputation of having a lovely warm, sunny climate.

 Very helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble for all staff members.
