Top Tennyson Down Hotel Reviews

Jireh House

8/10 Good

"Perfect location near the marina & ferry and close to the shops, bars and restaurants in town. The host was welcoming and friendly, and very kindly made alterations to accomodate last minute changes to our stay. We only stopped one night during a yacht regatta and didn't get the opportunity to eat at Jireh House due to our race timings but the food being served in the restaurant looked excellent - we will be back! The rooms were peaceful, clean and had very comfortable beds. Space was restricted in the en-suite (shower, washbasin and toilet) in one of our rooms but this is clearly because this is a beautiful historic building so it cannot be extended to hold a larger facility. This is not a criticism and it did not detract from my visit at all; I mention it only for the benefit of those with resticted mobility who may wish to mention it in their preferences when booking."

Albion Hotel

8/10 Good

"Disappointed with to find a whole large bowl of yogurts out of date ( not just one but all were out of date) The lady at dinner greeting us had a bit of an attitude problem and was not friendly Receptionist blamed the staff which was very unprofessional for a hotel of this calibre, they could do an awful lot better We were not the only ones to complain, receptionist indicated that their student staff had gone back to college The clearly is a middle or even a senior management and business model issue that needs addressing"

Whitfield P5

10/10 Excellent

"Had a little ant infestation issues but resolved in a few days."

3 bedroom accommodation in Freshwater

8/10 Good

"The house was lovely, very clean throughout, just a few little niggles. There wasn't a welcome pack as such, so we did not have anything like emergency numbers, there wasn't some essentials like food waste bags. We didn't have any silver foil for cooking, to protect the likes of the grill. These are little things but also quite important. The cottage is beautiful, has a lovely mature garden, just have to watch that small pond. We didn't see any wildlife because the bird/squirrel feeders hadn't been kept up to date. I would recommend the home to anyone, so much around for all types of guests."

Brambles Farm Bungalow

10/10 Excellent

"Everything went well and we enjoy our stay at Brambles Farm. The accommodation is very cosy and we enjoy the lovely sea view from our living room. Glad to be here."

Grownups will revel in the romantic views both night and day.The ambience is superb and the energy is indeed of a happy welcoming home.The house envelops you with warmth and cheekiness.Itâ€™s well equipped and yet homely.If you are looking for a memorable holiday look no further.This place is what dreams are made of and it is indeed a writers dream."
