As a group of 4 golfers we had a great 3 night stay at Hillside. The rooms and furnishings were crisp and clean and the service was friendly and could not be faulted. The taster menu in the hotel restaurant was a delight - comprising fresh, quality ingredients cooked with imagination and skill. The Bistro restaurant was equally good with... More

It is funny how you can read reviews on trip advisor and one person can leave a rating 5 for the same service as another leaves a 1 or 2. That is really the case with this hotel. If you want a beautifully decorated and clean hotel with extremely attentive service then this is the hotel for you. Nothing is... More

Just back from our second visit to Hillside and it's even better than last year (which is saying something). The welcome is warm and hospitable, the accommodation of the highest standard, and the place exudes a self-confident charm and sense of style. Food and wine are terrific, and are enhanced by the opening of the Hillside Bistro in town five... More

Truly one of the best short breaks we have ever had. First time we have been away over Christmas as a couple, so weren't quite sure what to expect as this was a package offered by the hotel. It exceeded my (high) expectations by quite a margin. Food was fantastic, room comfortable and the service was way beyond the bounds... More

My bride and I honeymooned on the Isle of Wight in October and the Hillside Hotel was the perfect location for us. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, including giving us tea and biscuits in a sitting room each afternoon after we returned from exploring the island. Our room was warm and comfortable and the view of the English... More

My partner and I stayed at Hillside Hotel from 1 to 4 November 2012. From the moment we arrived we felt so welcome and comfortable. Gert has thoughtfully converted a property of great potential into a destination that delivers. The decor is bright and light, with south facing windows everywhere. There are many delightful places to chat, read a book,... More

Great location, everything you need, nothing you don't (gadget free), brilliant staff, excellent food and wine, superb value, whats not to like? The owner's concept and vision have been played out and this place is a role model of exactly how to get a hotel right.

We have recently returned from a short break at the Hillside. we stayed in a very comfortable and clean bedroom with superb sea views no expense has been spared in terms of facilities and mine host Gert was on hand to deal with any requests nothing was too much trouble from help and advise re the area and even providing...
