Bank Holiday Staycation

Lovely little pub/B&B with very friendly staff. Beautiful views and amenities. Our room was very pleasant but we were right on top of the outdoor area which was a little noisy at night. It was bank holiday weekend mind you!

A Little Gem

This hotel is a gem nestling above the beach st Bembridg with great views out to sea. It is in a great location for coastal walks, a 10 walk to the bus towards Newport and Ryde. It is just 15 to 20 minute walk from the village. Our room, Culver, was spacious and comfortable. The shower ensuite was particularly good, with a gentle monsoon shower at perfect temperature. We ate there too the first night and the food was excellent. Breakfast was particularly good. It is the first hotel I've stayed in that offers smashed avocado with your choice of eggs for breakfast. And with all this, the staff were very friendly and helpful. I woukd recommend the Crab & Lobster whole heartedly.

Fantastic stay, even if it was only one night, I got there a little late, but the host opened the kitchen back for me. The beer was good as so was the open fire and views, room was great again with a sea view!! And comfortable compliment with a great breakfast in the morning, truly this place is a little gem
