I was delighted to find the Pilot Boat Inn at short notice as they were willing to accept a one-night stay (unlike most of the other unhelpful B&Bs in the area). I stayed here with my parents and both our bedrooms were clean and comfortable with unfussy, minimal decor. The beds were very comfortable, the showers were hot and powerful... More

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at the pilot boat after a short golfing trip to the island. After I had finished I was cold, hungry and tired. The pilot boat was the cure, it's staff were very accommodating, the food was to a high standard and the atmosphere felt lively. It was a great place to relax and... More

As soon as we arrived we felt so welcome. The room was great, very clean and comfortable. The bed was so comfortable, I had a better night sleep than at home! Everything you needed was there, it has recently be refurbished so nothing is dated and everything works perfectly. We had dinner in the evening, really well priced and the... More

Had a very good meal with my family. The staff and owners were friendly and polite, making you welcome. The food was good and presented well. A good experience overall, and would go again. The only suggestion would be to have some background music.

We stayed at the Pilot Boat Inn in Bembridge for 1 night. When we first arrived the staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room was nicely decorated, clean and light.

Well what an improved venue from a year ago! The whole eating experience has improved, the food was good, well presented and the staff attitude was welcoming. We went at a lunch time and it was very quiet and perhaps a little light low volumed music would have prevented us all hearing each others conversation and a little more warmth... More

A nice local pub, which is situated close to the beach, offers typical British food and a very relaxing atmosphere. Sometimes they have live local bands in there. It's an ideal place for tourists really...

The Pilot Boat Inn was recommended by friends who live on the IoW. It's a quirky and fun place to stay - the landlord, George, is so friendly and welcoming. We only stayed a night and needed a twin room - it was a fabulous room - small, yes - but beautifully furnished with very comfortable (firm) beds and a... More

This is primarily a local pub, providing food, with half a dozen B&B rooms. Stayed for 3 nights, our friends stayed for 5 nights. The rooms are newly-renovated, clean & tasteful. Ours & our friends' rooms didn't have wardrobes - at £90 per night, this was a real surprise. Our room was spacious, theirs wasn't. Beds lovely and HUGE (maybe... More
