5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

The shops were good and easily accessible from the hotel. The hovercraft service is directly opposite the hotel and a 10 minute trip from Portsmouth.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Ryde was very good, in a brilliant location for getting around the Island, but the previous set of questions were all about places to visit which were all on the main land. I suggest you get a map to study the geography of the Isle of Wight
