Company information

Myself, Samantha and the rest of the team will go out of our way to make sure you make the most of your stay with our local knowledge and will try to fulfil any requests that you may have.

Property information

Myself and Samantha cant wait to welcome all our future guests, we only took over the beautiful hotel on the 8th of July. We have just started to modernise all of the downstairs so please bare with us while the bar is out of action, we have completed the breakfast/dining area so your stay will not be affected. There are 8 en-suite rooms and 1 room where your private bathroom is across the hall, the rooms are already stunning but we aim to take the standard even higher. The Prince of Wales hotel is less than 5 minutes from the Red Funnel car ferry and because it was the Coach House for Queen Victoria it is just across the road from Osborne House. Just outside the front door are the 2 bus stops that take you to either East Cowes or into Newport where you can access the rest of the wonderful Island

Neighbourhood information

As mentioned before we are next door to Osborne House which is steeped in history with all its paintings and artifacts where you get to walk through bedrooms that once belonged to royalty, but you are no more 45 minutes away from any attraction on the Island such as Carisbrook Castle, Blackgang Chine, The Needles, Old Shanklin Village, Sandown beach and many more.
