“It was clean, comfortable, the food was good and plentiful. I had an amazing stay,well done staff!”
+The staff were amazing! Not great weather but got to watch the storm from a warm and cosy pub/restaurant! I couldn't fault the breakfast especially as Ben made everything to order.
−I think staff need to find out a little more about local buses to inform guests without a car ( probably a rare occurrence) because I found one right around the corner.

“Very happy with our stay and would definitely stay there again”
+I really liked the little luxuries in our room, from the bottles of water per person in our main room to the little bottles of shower gel, hand lotion plus shampoo and conditioner and soaps in the bathroom. Those little extras were really nice. The breakfast was absolutely amazing too
−There seemed to be a low noise all night, like someone had left their heating or air conditioning or bathroom light or fan on in another room. Ours was switched off

“Great location, views from room and excellent staff”
+Third visit. Pleasant room with brilliant view across the Solent. Staff all helpful and friendly. Breakfast great as restaurant. Making great efforts to keep prices stable in current economic environment particularly in the hospitality sector.
−Bathroom could do with a shelf for washbags. Shower over bath was OK but a little bit difficult getting in /out for older customers.

“The Woodvale is a lovely place to stay, staff were great. Stairs are an issue as is parking.”
+Breakfasts were all really good. Either delivered by the chef or other staff
−Unfortunately there are a lot of stairs, on booking we knew the rooms were on the second floor but they were on the third floor. My husband and I both have health issues so tried not to go up and down too many times. The small light on my side of the bed didn’t work properly but we forgot to mention this on leaving. Parking can be a problem as they are public parking spaces used by residents of hotel, clients of public, people walking dogs and swimmers and surfers. We were lucky most of the time but had to move the car closer later on.

“Our new favourite hotel on the Isle of Wight.”
+The room was a great size with two very comfortable beds - one double and one single. It was perfect for my mum, my son and me. There was plenty of room for my son to play and a sofa for us to relax. The bathroom was bigger than expected, and we had a beautiful sea view too, which was probably the highlight of the room. We had breakfast included, and it was absolutely delicious on both mornings of our stay. We'll be back soon!
−We really would have appreciated plug sockets by the beds, if only for the reason I forgot to switch my alarm off and I had to get up to turn it off. However, in the grand scheme of things, this is barely a scratch against this wonderful hotel.
