A very traditional type B&B. Very friendly owners who make sure everything runs smoothly. Immaculately clean. Excellent quality cooked breakfast. Did not eat the evening meals, but imagine they are also top notch. Just be aware that lift to sea may still be closed because of covid.

Yet another wonderful week on the Isle of Wight staying at the Hambledon Hotel. Owners, Bill and Jackie, have done so much to make staying there during these surreal times feel safe. Cleanliness, food and comfort were all to the usual high standards. We didnt think we would have a holiday this year so it was great to get away to a place we felt comfortable and assured that guidelines were being followed. We are regular visitors to the Hambledon Hotel and next year will be no different. See you soon Bill and Jackie - looking forward to another great week and more rubbish jokes!
