The Seaview Hotel and Restaurant

We stayed here as a family for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. The rooms were really lovely with sea views - clean, spacious, comfy beds, and well-equipped. We all felt it should be more than 3* as was so lovely. There was a spacious lounge and lovely bar. The restaurants were fantastic and the breakfasts were incredible. Car parking was a bit of a squeeze but managed it - those in larger cars struggled. The top floor 2 rooms (16&15) were perfect, the middle floor room (2) was nice but suffered a bit from the smell of the kitchen & cigarettes from staff smoking below the bathroom window. Staff generally were beyond kind and helpful, nothing was too much for them - the reception team were very accommodating of our questions and provided extra soft pillows on request which we were so grateful for. In particular Philippa at breakfast and Rocio behind the bar were utterly divine. The vibe of this hotel was so lovely, you could not beat it. Highly recommended.

We had a fabulous meal at this hotel in the bar area. The pies were excellent and the liver wasxcooked pink and perfectly. All the food is genuinely home made and delicious. Recommend the Queen of Puddings with the fruity chef made pastille and the cherry almond bakewell tart with white chocolate ice cream too. A special mention to Gabby, who served us brilliantly throughout the entire evening with a smile and her excellent knowledge of the food and drinks. We will definitely be going back.

Just there for an evening meal with friends. 2 others staying in the hotel. Not ideal with the lift breaking down and our friend being almost entirely reliant on a scooter. Also the short-notice change of menu for the change of month when none of us are local. I personally got rather confused and forgot what I'd ordered. Never mind - the food was great when it arrived and the staff were great

My husband and I have just returned from the most brilliant week at Seaview Hotel. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left it was amazing. We couldn’t fault the intimacy of the hotel from the terrace to the bar and restaurants. Our special thanks to Tom for recommending the roast beef and the meat pies! The food was incredible and after our first evening meal we decided to eat there every night. Our thanks to the whole team especially Tom and Indiana who went out of their way to make our week special. We were so impressed that we have already booked for another week next June! Thank you all and see you again soon. Regards Gill and Tony Johnston

Had the best Sunday roast here today! Pork and beef on offer and we both plumped for the beef. A great choice as the meat was cooked to perfection. Accompanied by Yorkshire pudding, veg and the tastiest gravy. Service very good. 10/10 thank you we’ll be back for sure.

Had a night stay here and would love to stay again. As a couple who live on the Isle of Wight a little break away from home was our plan and we definitely chose well staying at the Seaview hotel. Staff are brilliant , friendly ,attentive and polite . The room was well appointed and had everything you could wish for including tea and coffee, biscuits and bottled water. The room was spotless and the bed very comfortable. The food and service was top notch Highly recommended. Well done Seaview Hotel and thank you.

This was our second visit to the Seaview, the location alone was the real draw for us along with the wonderful staff and service and fantastic breakfasts, included in the rate. The first time we stayed we had the 3 bedroom apartment at the top of the hotel and it was perfect for a family; the second visit was high season and the apartment was taken so we took two standard rooms next to each other, a twin and a double. Truth is they weren’t the greatest rooms (they could do with replacing the tiny quite old double bed, and it was quite stuffy in August with no a/c), but I politely ‘complained’ and they did all they could to move us to better rooms when they became available; anything to ensure their guests had a good night sleep. We will definitely go back again fora third time, but I need to book ahead next time! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality!

Excellent dinner for six served in the front bay window of the Aquitania restaurant. Food was really excellent and so nice to be able to sit down in the lounge area beforehand with a drink and the menu. Friendly service, excellent fresh local food, in a great location yards from the beautiful Seaview beach. Thoroughly recommend.

We've just spent a wonderful few days at Seaview Hotel…a fabulous location, just yards from the sea, beautiful surroundings, well-appointed rooms, fantastic food and no pretence. And then there's the amazing staff who make you feel that nothing is too much trouble. Far too many to name, but thank you Mark, Clare, Jake and the team for a truly memorable stay. I couldn't recommend it more and we'll be booking to return soon.
