The rooms are large spotlessly clean with fantastic ensuite facilties and a balcony with outstanding views. Parking is avaliable and hotel ideally situated for walking to the Botanic Gardens and Steephill Cove.
The Owner and staff are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. Such a friendly homely atmosphere.

Quiet relaxing stay on the Isle of Wight
What a find! A delightful family run hotel in a lovely little town on the Isle of Wight. St Maur is just perfect for a short or longer stay. It's spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and the owner and staff could not be more friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be coming back.

Friendly, family run hotel with beautiful gardens and premises. The spacious room and thoughtful furnishing created the perfect place for relaxing and taking in the lush view of palms, flowers, birds, Victorian rooftops and glimpses of the blue ocean with passing shops! We will treasure this memory of a 60th birthday vacation. Thank you.

Nice stay. Very clean. Property is dated and could do with updating. I presumed there would be parking onsite for all guests however, the car park is smaller than expected.

David and his staff were excellent hosts. We were greeted by the owner upon arrival and were given an upgrade to a larger room. Very clean and well stocked room with all one would expect from the corporates. Breakfast was equally excellent with nothing being too much, absolutely recommended.

Beautiful guesthouse set in lovely tropical gardens. Very spacious bedroom with large comfortable bed, lovely decor, large 4 piece bathroom, a handy fridge, well-stocked hospitality tray, fantastic views. Spotlessly clean. Very peaceful. Excellent breakfast choices with cereal, fresh fruit, Greek yoghurt, cooked to order full English etc. Small honesty bar. David & his staff are friendly, knowledgeable & welcoming. Lovely 8 days spent fir my 60th Birthday - didn't want to leave!
