Top Colwell Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

Albion Hotel

Albion Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel in a fantastic location. We have been to the IOW many times over the years, but this is our first time staying at the Albion, but it won't be our last! Would like to have dined at the hotel's restaurant - The Rock - one evening, but there was very little offered on the menu for vegans, so we went elsewhere. Having spoken to the restaurant manager about this, hopefully that will change soon. Likewise some issues with vegan options at breakfast - again we were assured this was changing. Breakfast location overlooking the bay with the sun coming up was lovely though. We had a suite overlooking the bay and it was spectacular watching the stormy sea raging and the waves crashing against the windows (August Bank Holiday weather)! The IOW is definitely our happy place and the Albion will be our 'go to' hotel for our future visits. :)"

The Bugle Coaching Inn

The Bugle Coaching Inn

8/10 Good
"Except location, for attractions and activities. Noisy at night on the weekends around town but usually quiets down by 11 pm. Saturday morning chef was not good. The toast was a door stop and barely toasted and the butter was liquid! In the plastic packet. Service was also slow at breakfast but only on the Saturday. All other days were brilliant. Room 4 has a very small sink in toilet/shower room. A sink more appropriate for a cloakroom toilet. Other than those comments loved the Bugle and would return but not to room 4."
