The Hotel was tired and on an extremely noisy road, double glazing was inefficient. Carol the proprietor fell over herself to be very helpful. Room was clean but facilities were lacking i.e. tiniest tv seen for years needed to sit on top of it i.e. end of bed to see picture. Breakfast was adequate, cereals, yogurt and plenty of toast but full english...nah!! No sausage, no hash browns, no mushrooms, no fried bread, no choice of egg style. Had issues with toilet not flushing several times, unhealthy having to leave overnight full, then mysteriously flushed in morning. Lot of mould in shower and bathroom shelf was never cleaned where there was a daily build up of toothpaste. Bed was never made. Plenty of tea, coffee and milk and 1 small bottle of water daily (bit strange when 2 persons in the room). Sadly, too far out of Ryde town, (area called Elmfield) to walk with so many steep hills a description should have been put on website. Had to do my own homework to find nearest bus route, no wonder very popular with Walkers who all the regular guests were during our stay. Pleasant 10 minute walk down nearby lane to beach at far end of esplanade near Appley Tower.
