Great place to stay, if a little off the beaten track, regular bus stop a 20 minute walk(moderate pace.) The decor is faded and could do with an update, bed was really comfy, the staff were excellent and the the food was really good.

We thought the Highdown Inn In was excellent. The room was good, and dinner in the evening was very good. Would recommend this hotel. Also reasonable cost not expensive.

Nice pub and the rooms was nice and clean, bathroom could do with being updated though. Staff were really friendly and helpful and the breakfast was really nice

6/10 Good

Nice hotel in a good location with parking. Comfy bed. Slightly dated decor and a tad overpriced we felt at £130 per room for single occupancy. Pleasant but nothing special

Although we weren't there for long, as we were on the island for a wedding, when we were there, we had a lovely comfortable stay, with a cracking breakfast the next day. Thank you.

I only stayed for one night but wishing I stayed for longer now! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Absolutely loved the space, the bedroom was comfortable and clean, and gave a very homey b&b feeling. I took transit and found it fairly straightforward to get to. And its an easy walk to the Tennyson monument! Would definitely recommend!

Excellent bed and breakfast

Very welcoming staff, excellent locally sourced breakfast. Very tempting menus on the blackboard in the bar - it was a shame we were already booked to eat elsewhere! Next time...

It’s the most wonderful location and for that reason we would stay again, it’s quiet and the staff are lovely. The room cleanliness is poor and the cost per night doesn’t correlate, the decor is very tired too.

We had a great afternoon and evening. Lucy and Sean were very friendly and welcoming as were the rest of the staff. The menu options and food was brilliant and the music in the garden was an added bonus. We will return!

Perfect for us

Perfect twin room, not the biggest but everything you need, bright, cheerful and very well presented. Friendly staff, nothing too much trouble. Dinner in the evening was delicious with a good selection of real ales. Breakfast room (not in the main pub) is lovely and lots of choice. Parking right outside, very handy for the Tennyson Memorial and a walk to the Needles. Can’t fault it and will definitely come back.

10/10 Exceptional

A very enjoyable one night stay at the highdown inn. We were half way through a 70 mile run around the coastal path and needed to set off early so we would have missed breakfast, but the staff were kind enough to cook us some delicious bacon sandwiches to take with us as a packed lunch. In addition to this I left my headphones in the room and didn't realize until I was back in Bembridge. I didn't have time to drive all the way back before getting my Ferry home. I contacted them about it and they kindly packaged and posted them back to me very promptly. It's fair to say they go above and beyond for their guests at the Highdown Inn and I would have no hesitation recommending it to anyone thinking of staying in the area.

4* highly recommended

The check-in was super easy. Loved the concept and of this "old" times pub accommodation. Even being an old building, it was clean and taked care off. The staff was accessible and we highly recommend you to have dinner there as the food smells amazing (we had the typical Sunday roast - huge portion and affordable). The only thing I would say it's that the shower had no pressure and the water was not hot enough for my partner.

The room, the food and drinks were very good. In contrast to the high standards in the property the bathroom was not up to standard. The grouting in the shower cubicle was black and needed replacing and there was nowhere to hang damp towels. This was all in contrast to the high standards elsewhere. Disappointing.

6/10 Good

A pleasant pub with rooms which has a bit of character and seems popular with locals. I stayed for one night with girlfriend on a cycling holiday. Room was pleasing, staff were generally helpful and breakfast was excellent. However, dinner was a disappointing experience. Waiting time, even for a starter, was extraordinarily long. The same for the main course, which was not as ordered. Worrying thing about this place is that I got the distinct impression that there is one level of service for locals and another for visitors. Maybe that's how such places survive these days.
