Erase previous reviews as of 2023 I say, excellent all round and good friendly staff, excellent location & value for money, 16+ TV channels, good size single room, low traffic noise, easy rule via key, pleased I made the right choice when parting with my money. 

Don't judge via previous reviews, your'l miss out & pay much more

Lovely little b&b! Our room was gorgeous, had such a beautiful view, everything was nice and clean and the owner was very nice upon checking in and giving us some info about Ryde! :)

The only negatives I have are the windows are very thin so you can hear the road very easily - I took ear plugs with me so it was no issue and it’s a old house so this is understandable!

Lovely B&B

Very good lovely breakfast staff are friendly kind and very helpful will stay again will tell other people to stay a very great stay enjoyed myself good price would like thank them for my great stay people should stay here to

Stay

The hotel is very friendly and conveniently situated on the sea front. Our room was clean and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The view from the room was great and the access to local amenities is excellent. It is good value for money. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Excellent location!

It seems that a lot of the reviewers on here were either drunk, never learned basic manners, or didn't understand what a guesthouse is. A guesthouse is basic, no-frills accommodation with the intention that it is just a room you go to to sleep, nothing else. This guesthouse is unique in that it is the first one I have been to that has a private bathroom, so there's that!

Overall I had a good stay, really great location and easy check-in, very cheap as well for the Isle of Wight particularly with COVID travel restrictions meaning far more people are holidaying within the country than usual. Didn't have the breakfast but it did smell nice. I did have an issue with the room being very hot, I don't know if it's because of the boiler in the bathroom or that I was in an annex above the kitchen but it wasn't the end of the world.

Good place to stay if you're on a walking holiday or something like that and just want somewhere to sleep. If you're looking for something more substantial or are staying for a week or two then the IOW is famous for its holiday parks and I have fond memories as a kid staying in them. Just don't expect them to be as reasonably priced as this hotel!

Good place to stay for a short break

I needed cheap accommodation for a non-holiday trip and this filled the bill.  The bedlinen, furnishings and carpets looked tired to the extent that if it was difficult to tell if they had been recently cleaned.  The bed was a bit too soft for my taste.  But the plumbing worked and it was quite adequate for a two night stay.  Owner welcoming but another staff member was prickly to the extent that I would recommend a dose of customer service training.

You get what you pay for

We spent a couple of days during Easter. The location is great, 2 minutes walking from the Union Street and the view was amazing. The staff is really friendly and helpful. 
Everything was good, just the shower need to be replaced, the carpet can be changed and the white curtains are not the best solution since at 6am you can be waked up by the sun!

Great location but renovation needed!

In desperate need of refurbishment instead of diy fixes, basic important safety measures not evident, PAT testing on tv, kettle, iron. The iron wouldn’t have passed as the electrical flex had the wires showing and bulging out of the flex. Landing fire door held open by a cord. Noise from some sort of drainage gurgling all night when raining. However position of guest house ideal and although I didn’t have breakfast it smelt wonderful I wish I could have had it. ( current dietary requirements prevents me ) also 
Communal hallway entrance cluttered It’s a shame as this place is desperately  in need  of repairs and proper maintenance and a fresh approach. Please remove from your information pack that you charge for credit cards (which of course you don’t) this was made illegal in Jan 2018. 



Seahaven if you just want crash somewhere 

What you need from a hotel simply wasn't there. The mattress was old and saggy, bedlinen threadbare, curtains light coloured - not light-blocking. Shower hard to mix - started well, then I had to jump out because it suddenly turned very hot. I rinsed off the soap from the washbasin rather than risk getting scalded. Decided to chance the shower again in the morning and it happened again. After that I just used the washbasin, which fortunately was of adequate size.  
No doubt the surfaces in immediate use had been cleaned and maybe even disinfected, but the pipe leading up from the WC pan to the cistern, in full view, was grimy and so were the skirting boards. Most unpleasant. I stayed only because everywhere else in Ryde was fullt booked. But I checked out a couple of other sea-front hotels for next time, and found them well-furbished and immaculately clean, at the same price. 
Iron avalable. Attractive dining-rrom for breakfast. Lounge was shut due to covid.

Lovely position on seafront, but poorly furnished, tired and grubby.

We booked a triple room for our small 2+1 family for 4 nights (room 6). On the 1st night, there was no wifi signal in our room  (only 1 corner can receive a weak signal from the router, but was frozen when I tried to send 1 picture from my phone on with WhatsApp). I also had to go outside in the hallway to send some pictures from my daughter's tablet. My husband also tried to connect his laptop without success. When I point this out to the manager's wife, I also explained to her that my husband has received an emergency call from his employer and he has to work on a project urgently, she said we can use the desk at the mid staircase to do internet stuff. Suddenly the manager came out, he was very defensive and said that room 5 (Next door to us) was watching Netflix last night, so it must be all our 3 devices have a fault, not their internet. When I showed him the screenshots of no wifi signal from our room, he still insisted all our 3 devices were faulty and said they are here only to provide B&B service. Customers come to their B&B for holiday and not for work, they didn't charge us for using the internet. So, if we couldn't use our devices, it is not his problem. It is true, COVID affects everyone, no employer would ask their team member to work while they are on a family holiday unless it is urgent. We only booked the B&B 2 day before we checked in, if we were given an inform choice on the Seahaven House website that there was no free  WIFI in our room, or free WiFi only available in communal area, we would not have chosen this B&B because the room was not suitable for our needs, and none of this incident would happen.
I was very disappointed with the manager customer service, he doesn't have to react in this way, he could have used a simple Sorry that the internet was a let-down, or maybe offer to change the position of the router if possible. I didn't hear a single Sorry from both the manager and his wife and he didn’t speak to us at all after the incident. Throughout the rest our stay, I didn't feel welcome, we met the manager a few times, there was no friendly Hello or how was your day today, or how are you etc. The manager's wife was OK, she served us breakfast in the morning, On the second day when my husband was sitting in the mid staircase's desk to work (has WiFi), she gave my husband a WiFi booster so that he could return to our room to work. Therefore, even though the breakfast was good, I feel that the manager customers service is a big let-down to the B&B.
