"The Prince of Wales has bus-stops immediately outside the building and it is located opposite the entrance to Osborne House. Our breakfasts were generous in terms of portions and any extra requirements arrived swiftly. Our room was very good value and it was very quiet. Two minor issues with fixtures were resolved quickly and cheerfully. We did not have a car during this visit, but the bus journey from the East Cowes dock took only a few minutes on the local bus service. Great value , great location, and helpful staff."

"A lovely 2 bed house boat on a quiet marina with an excellent pub very nearby. All amenities provided. Nice area to have a drink on top of the boat and watch nature. Very clean and comfortable. Nice shower and comfy beds. Would suggest take an eye mask as a streetlight opposite shines brightly into the main bedroom. We were on bikes and there is not a shop on site. A lovely neighbour gave us a lift to the supermarket. Very good communication and easy check in /out process. QUite late chech in at 5 but suited us. Would highly recommend and would stay again if in the area."
