We ate at the appley manor this weekend and i have to say it was a very enjoyable experience!…read moreThe staff were very competent and friendly, The food was very tasty and the desserts were LUSH! The only bad points we found: We had to wait 45 minutes for our meal which we considered a long time considering the restaurant appeared very quiet at the time. The tomatoes in the salad looked a bit dry, as thought they had been sat around under a hot light all day. And the prices are quite high. But on the whole a very nice experience, we would definately go there again and it is worth trying!

I grew up in Seaview, so this is one of my regular watering holes…read more Two bars, the smarter front bar with lots of tables outside, and the cosy "sunshine bar" further in serve good local beers, and good pub grub. The hot crab ramekins are especially recommended. The restaurant is smart, with an older front room and a newer "notting hill" rear dining area. Food is good, and professionally served. Wine is good, but priced high. During the summer this is one of "the" places in Seaview. Come on in for a drink, or a Pimms... don't mind if I do ;)

I'm very surprised this hasn't been reviewed before. I lived on the Island for 7 months and as part…read moreof my research (!) as manager of a 5* B&B I tried out a lot of the restaurants and pubs to see which were worthy of my recommendation to our guests. This was always the first place that sprang to mind. The food is wonderful here - beautifully prepared with good quality fresh ingredients. The surroundings are warm and welcoming and the staff are professional and friendly. Parking can be very difficult if you arrive during a busy period, so keep that in mind. You should also book ahead, particularly if you want to sample their lovely sunday dinners which is very popular and often booked up way in advance. It's not cheap here but it also doesn't require a second mortgage. If you want a treat during your time on the Isle of Wight, head here.

A few weeks back I had a little trip with my daughter and we headed to Isle of Wight, we booked…read morethis place and the price was reasonable, that's what the star I gave is about. First when we got to the hotel the woman who checked us in said barely two words and asked if we were someone else who was on the list, first tip is let the customer tell you who they are, don't make an assumption. She didn't tell us where in the hotel we were staying just led us up the stairs to our room and casually pointed at a door telling us that one of the keys we had opened it. She then showed us our room, at the top of the building and walked away. Zero customer service. We went out and came back and the key would not work in the patio door nor the door which I assumed it would fit so I had to call the manager, he came out saying "I don't know why it doesn't work, this isn't the front door, that one is" and motioning to another door. I felt quite angry at this point, you run a lodge, custom is your life, don't talk down to the customer because otherwise you may not have any customers! We went up to the room, the door key didn't work, I tried about 5 times before it actually worked, I was not wanting to call the manager since he seemed to think customers were too much for him to deal with! Thankful to be in the room I was hopeful to have a good night, that did not happen, firstly the beds were hard, secondly no fan so we had to keep the window open then from 7 to 9 in the church opposite they were doing bell ringing practise, not great when you want to get an early night, all this plus traffic lights and cars constantly made me wish we could leave. Trying to make the best of a bad thing I decided a hot shower would be good, except the shower would not run warm at all. In my opinion this place is an avoid especially since it's quite run down and up on a hill!
