The Boathouse

Lovely property, fairly recently refurbished, right across the road from the beach. it’s located just between Ryde and Seaview, both of which are accessible via the coastal path. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated giving it a calm ambience. The bathroom has a shower and a bath. Breakfast was exceptional with great choices and really well cooked food.

Kind & helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. Alex went above and beyond, and room was lovely decor and very clean and my breakfast was excellent, sadly i couldnt finish it as i felt unwell, but absolutly great breakfast, The whole team are amazing here, im sure i will be back.

Well located overlooking the beach , with very friendly staff and comfortable rooms. An excellent overnight stay

One hour wait for a salad, poor food and worse service. Had to ask 3 staff regarding a so called Caesar Salad, which despite the wait was full of fatty and gristly bacon, a tiny amount of chicken . £18 - London prices - for a very small and inadequate salad. Was eventually offered a refund for one meal, having paid for 2 salads. Staff had no idea how to deal with the situation.

Really good food. Fish menu depends on what they have caught so fresh AF. Really nice location with a great view. The staff were also great very helpful and accommodating. We all had fish but in particular the tuna steak was cooked like a fillet steak.. melted in the mouth with the black garlic butter, was insane!

We decided to try here for a non residents breakfast, we usually go elsewhere locally that do a great breakfast but fancied a change and the Boathouse is in a beautiful location with nice outside seating area. We were greeted by a lovely lady on the desk who was very attentive, polite and good fun putting up with our bad jokes. The breakfast was beautifully freshly cooked and hot. The sausage and bacon was top quality, the poached egg was cooked to perfection and I really liked the toasted cheese scone which was a nice alternative to toast. Even got Heinz tomato ketchup (my favourite). Hats off to the chef for a nicely cooked breakfast with quality ingredients. Coffee was from a bean to cup machine so it was okay, but I'm fussy and like proper barista made coffee. The only let down (and why I did not give a 5 star rating) is that there were no beans, not even an option to buy as an extra. For this reason alone the rest of my family said they would not return. I would highly recommend that you put beans on your menu as a extra so diners can choose. It would also have been nice if the 3 huge umbrellas had been up to shade us from the sun but they remained down during our visit and there were no shady areas outside.

Comedy of errors. Lovely food but not what we ordered. Each dish of each course ( for all four of us dining) was missing something requested or served with something we asked to be omitted. The friendly waiters couldn't tell what they were serving and so didn't notice when things were wrong. Sometimes they'd say something was unavailable but generally they didn't notice what was being plated up was wrong and by dessert we gave up. Was very disappointed to be served vanilla ice cream instead of peanut butter advertised with the pave. Seems like that's standard here.

A cosy sea front hotel above a pub. Room 404 had superb bay window for admiring the view of the beach and sea across to The Spinaker Tower. The room is bright ,warm plenty of lights, mirrors and storage. A few things are a bit tired, curtains don't close properly, chest of drawers damaged and sink worn but comfortable bed and efficient shower over bath .Friendly staff and guest entrance when staff not on duty. Good value .

Perfect service and very nice
