The Fishbourne

Good value for money Friendly service

Very welcoming, enjoyed our stay, great service and staff, loved the breakfast. Very accomdating with our dietary needs. Room was a decent size with a lovely comfortable large bed, the room had everything you needed to make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Felt very relax during my stay with sea views and a lovely decor pub below which servered great food.

We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed every second from a friendly welcome when we arrived to a cheery goodbye when we left. After a short walk from the ferry, you arrive at The Fishbourne, greeted by genuinely friendly staff who are more than happy to show you to your room. Our room was huge, with an en-suite bathroom and toiletries. Shower was powerful and the water hot. Lovely. Bottled water, tea and coffee making facilities in the room, with a pack of 2 biscuits. A very nice touch. A large bed with plenty of sockets to charge our devices, but do remember to bring a suitable plug and cable. Lots of storage in the room and enough hangers for our clothes so we were quickly unpacked and feeling at home. Loved the view out of the window across the Solent, we even saw a couple of cruise ships after they had left Southampton. Breakfast was tasty, whether it was from the cold selection on offer or the freshly made cooked. Really tasty sausages. Homemade granola was especially good as were the pastries. Service was always quick and the cooked food served piping hot. We loved our stay and can’t wait to return. Getting around the island by bus was easy and cheap with a stop about a 10 minute walk. We even found a scenic woodland walk to visit Ryde. Definitely recommend.

The positive was the service received from Tracy who checked us in and was on breakfast service the following morning, she was fantastic. The room and bathroom were filthy, particularly the bathroom. The lack of cleanliness seemed to have been accumulating over time, not just on prior guests check out.

Truly friendly, helpful, informative staff. Leafy views, quite peaceful location considering it’s conveniently located a stone’s throw from the ferry.

Room a little cold Very convenient for major attractions and ferry .

A great shower, hot water and nice and clean, a hanging facility for the towels in the bathroom would be useful. The room was good for the price. Needs a little dusting behind the bedside table, otherwise clean, only noticed because I was going to use the plug. Lovely to have a radio and tv in the room. Otherwise the room was cute, quiet and comfortable. We also enjoyed a good lunch, the dish of the day, salmon, purée and roasted broccoli, very tasty. The service was good, helpful and friendly throughout my stay. Very thoughtful to have given me a take out breakfast as I was leaving early. Only 1 minute from the ferry. Perfect! Hope to use the Fishbourne again.

The Fishbourne is an excellent bar and restaurant with a small number of bedrooms which are furnished to a high standard. A charming place to stay.

Had the fish and chips. Very disappointing as the fish was very small and the batter was pale and rock hard. Plenty of chips though. But i pay £16 to get a decent sized piece of fish. I won't be going back.
