This is a five-star guest house not an hotel. Warm and friendly welcome, beautiful room with an exceedingly comfortable bed. bathroom was a bit 'tired' and in definite need of an upgrade by a professional. The existing looked like it had been installed by an enthusiastic DIY'er. Comfortable sitting room with copius leather sofas to sink into with a very... More

Yes friendly and helpful staff but as I entered I noticed a musky smell. There are hazardous gaps in floorboards and a dangerous step into the main dining area. The room I was allocated was not good value. To say it looked tired was an understatement and it would need a great deal to waken it. The sheets were clean.... More

We went on the Groupon deal making this excellent value for money. Determined to enjoy ourselves on our short break to the Isle of Wight we took a long walk in the pouring rain along the beach at Ryde, It was the wettest day we had experienced for some time. We managed to dry out well before arriving at the... More

The roads to get to the Hermitage Country hotel are not good, however once there this place is great. Very quiet, excellent staff and such a friendly atmosphere. I would certainly look to stay there again. More

Ian met with us on arrival, and despite the fact that the Hotel was full, he took time out to have a quick drink with us. My Husband and I then enjoyed a great three course meal and... More

Only thing I can find that wasn't perfect was the rather greasy fish and chips we had on the first night. Looked like the oil wasn't hot enough. Everything else... More

Having purchased this through a Groupon offer, I took the option of upgrading to the 4-poster suite as this was my partners birthday present. We received more than adequate instructions to locate the house and they even assisted with purchasing our ferry ticket from the mainland. Although the drive to the house was bumpy and there were a few pot... More

My husband and I stayed at the Hermitage for a weekend break on one of the groupon deals, off the beaten track but definitely worth a stay. Staff were very helpful, rooms clean and very comfortable. Food was excellent thankyou More

Being fairly regular visitors to the Isle of Wight, we have a couple of favourite hotels. Had it not been for a Groupon offer and positive reports on Trip Adviser, The Hermitage would not have come to our attention. The Tom-Tom sat-nav had no problem finding The Hermitage, however, it is also pretty well signposted, and the detailed notes provided... More
