Gracellie in Isle of Wight

Visited for an afternoon tea. It was delicious, really well presented and great value for money. The owners were very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be recommending to friends and family ☺️

We visited Gracellies for a Sunday Roast late November 22 and wow what a beautiful dinner ...everything cooked to perfection...as regular visitors to many restaurants and dining out on the island ...my husband and I have said this really was the nicest roast dinner we have ever had on the island ...Best Lamb ..best roast potatoes/Yorkshire puds and a Lovely variety of veg ..Thankyou Nile for all your hard work

We had a fabulous Sunday roast, with a choice of chicken, lamb, beef, pork or all four or any combination. All this with views to match anywhere and great service from lovely friendly staff.

Had a loverly meal at the hotel staff very attentive and helpful could not do enough for us excellent value and would highly recommend the food first time we have eaten here.

Firstly big shout out to Charlotte (manager), Ben, Cameron, little Charlotte and Natalie. What amazing staff they are, nothing too much trouble for these folk. Hotel really needs some work and it would be a fabulous place. Marvellous location right by beach. Some issues with our room on arrival which were sorted immediately whilst we relaxed with a cup of tea. Cannot praise staff enough, they made our holiday

Just left the place very disappointed. Ordered carrot&coriander soup, calamari and caesar salad . The soup came with bread without butter, testless and coriander was presented in dry form of the herb spreaded around the plate. The salad was with half yellow leaves, with bacon (!) , chicken and sauce what was tested as salad sauce not cheese sauce. It did not have parmesan either. When I complain about the sauce as my daugher does not eat mayonnaise, the chef said it is caesar salad sauce like we never tried it before. The calamari were nice, but my daugher left hungry as she could not eat this salad as was not like caesar as was lacking main ingredient parmasan cheese in it. Overall - awful for the money spent.

Had such an a lovely experience as soon as we walked through the door , Lovely friendly welcome , we won a roast sharing platter for two but probably could easily feed 3 , turned up looking amazing and tasted exactly that , even my boyfriend said it was the best roast he’s probably ever had .Our experience was that good we’ve even booked to go back and stay at the hotel in two weeks for my boyfriends birthday.Would absolutely highly recommend, excellent service and an all round awesome experience can’t wait to go back

Good size room with great view, and clean. Staff very friendly and recommend Sunday lunch. Whilst still in it's infancy under new management they all work hard to please.

It was amazing, I had 10oz rump steak and opted for a peppercorn sauce. It was served with all the trimmings. I can honestly say that it is the best rump steak I have had. So tender and juicy. My husband had a homemade burger with blue cheese, bacon and served with chips and salad. Plate was clean and he was very happy. Our friends had the fish and chip special. Served with peas, tartar sauce and a generous wedge of lemon. Plates again were empty. Great chef, great place and service. Very happy with the prices. Some of our guests had a sunday roast platter and they will be going back. Would advise booking a table. We will be back.

Breakfast was definitely the best meal with toast, juice, cereal, and full English. Dinner wasn’t as good, the service was slower and there were less choices The rooms were pretty good.

We wanted to check out this hotel as we've moved to the Island so nice to go to different places for food or just a beer. The drinks we're fine and reasonable. Young girl behind the bar was very pleasant. They need to spend a bit of money on the decor and toilets, the ladies only had 1of two cubicles working. We would return, it has the makings of a nice bar but needs work found ASAP. To be fair it's still early in the year so assuming this will happen before the holiday season starts.

Food was excellent, manager was very helpful, bar staff very friendly staff couldn't do enough for us.

Very fresh and tasty! Self serve toast, cereal and fruit and juice. Good for families. Great service, friendly team. Would eat a fry-up there anytime.

We stayed here for three nights from 27th - 30th July. It is a budget Hotel, so be warned! In truth it would benefit from a complete refurbish, but that would be an expensive and risky investment, and of course push prices up. Little things would help though. the bathroom was very dimly lit and the light over the sink did'nt work. The receptionist told us the manager could not replace the bulb because the fitting was so old, bulbs for it were no longer available! So a small investment to replace lights would be good. Also, there was nowhere to hang bath towels, a small rail held the hand towels, a couple of hooks on the wall would suffice, manager take note! Our room was pleasent enough, spacious with plenty of storage space and a sea view. Food was - just ok- not much choice, eg; on our first night the two hot dishes were, ham,egg and chips or chicken curry, the rest were salads, so very basic,however nicely presented. Cooked breakfasts were fine, but not much fruit provided.I diagree with lottiep58 - everything was NOT homemade!!Staff were pleasent and helpful

the hotel food was brillant you could not eat everything on plate well looked after everything home made so it was nice and fresh

We had to choose a meal at breakfast for the evening. Only three very basic choices and everyone had to come to the restaurant at the same time very early evening.

Breakfast very good, always hot and plentiful .. Evening meal was hit and miss very poor and poor service.

Celebró una sorpresa de cumpleaños para mi hermano aquí su 21 y realizado el mismo para las mias, muy servicial, incluso para el buffet nos spag bol!! Permítanos decorar todo el salón, y las bebidas eran razonables, tienes la habitación de arriba abajo, pero luego función tienes bar charlies, gran aparcamiento, el personal es muy amable, y vamos a volver allí en septiembre por hermanas despedida! Me encanta

Nos alojamos en el Gracellie por una noche. Se parece cansado desde el exterior, pero nuestra habitación era más que adecuado, con un cuarto de baño moderno, y no nos podemos quejar de eso. Nuestro único problema fue el bar de abajo que tocaba música ridículamente ruidoso hasta medianoche para lo que parecía ser media docena de personas, en su mayoría locales, así que sugiero pensar más de sus clientes. Comprendo plenamente que un lugar para su música, pero este era terriblemente ruidoso y significó que tuvimos que dormir en el calor con las ventanas cerradas, es una pena realmente. Se redimió con el desayuno y la camarera era precioso.

We dropped in for drinks and thoroughly enjoyed our visit! Well priced bar and a lovely patio upstairs with sea views. The staff were friendly and chatty. Nice place.

Mi padre y yo pasamos este fin de semana en el Hotel Gracellie, en primer lugar, quiero elogiar suficientemente la no vayan de amabilidad del personal, especialmente la chica que nos atendió nuestra mesa - ella era una estrella.

HORRIBLE WORSE THAN FAWLTY TOWERS food was all frozen hotel management no existant entertainment none to busy with locals watching football so sent singer home spend time with hotel guest swimming pool is outside toilet for local to throw there beer in and crisp packets not been cleaned since Adam was a lad advice

very clean hotel and the staff was very friendly the food was very good and had a big choice for dinner

Primero que todo, sólo te quieres encargadas negativas por el camino. Cuando llegamos no había recepción, disponibles de timbre que no parecía funcionar. Los chicos de impresiones!? Tardamos unos 10 minutos para llegar a ver, y luego el old man que hablamos no tenía ni idea de qué tipo de reserva que tuvimos allí o algo (desayuno y cena incluidos). De todos modos, después de un mal comienzo nos condujeron rápidamente sentados en nuestras mesas para la cena nos dijeron que no estábamos en por dicho old man. La comida era estupenda. Todos los jóvenes camareros y camareras y el personal del bar era muy educado y amable, que realmente le dan al lugar un ambiente acogedor, y siempre sonríen. Nuestra habitación estaba limpia, el único inconveniente yo diría que es el tren de ropa, en vez de un armario, y no hay bin sanitario en el baño para las mujeres. El desayuno se celebra bastante tarde OMI (8:30) pero el chef es realmente algo más cuando se trata de cocinar esas desayuno inglés, así que vale la pena! En general, sin duda me alojaría aquí de nuevo, tiene una gran ubicación y la mayoría, si no todas las instalaciones que pueda necesitar para una estancia corta.

El desayuno en el Gracellie fue muy bueno, con mucho para elegir, incluyendo cereales, zumos de fruta, tostadas y mermelada y un desayuno inglés completo'.

A huge choice of fresh cakes of all sorts and tea/hot chocolate at reasonable prices. So good we went twice. Worth a visit to eat in or out.

We visited the hotel on 16 June on arrival the frontage looked very tired and overgrown the lobby looked the same it was obvious the hotel was going through restoration but thay didn't seem to be doing much maybe it's because the season had started so I will give them the benefit of the doubt ,We got our room key and found it to be very clean but the curtain rail was coming away from the wall we told the manager three times it fell on deaf ears ,But after saying that the staff where second to none very helpful ,the entertainment was ok especially the young lady she was a brilliant singer, The food was good especially the breakfast ,I only had one bad meal, the chef made a mistake with the menu and cooked pork instead of beef not everyone likes pork he new this earlier in the day so had plenty of time to cook some beef but no thay sent out for some and we got sandwich beef put into pork gravy it was discussting, But overall we had a very good holiday and yes I would go again.

presentation could be better it all comes across as precooked brought in catering.but its sufficant and generous

We enjoyed a very lovely evening at the Gracellie Hotel. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficiently served 53 of us with food of a very high quality. The feedback from our members has been excellent. Thank you for looking after us so well.

Service, food, experience great. Friendly and attentive staff, Hazel, Paddy, John and Debbie (our little angel) couldn't do enough for us. Couldn't fault it. Great to be greeted with free tea and coffee not only on arrival but every afternoon as well as mulledd wine and mince pies on christmas day! Hotel isin second phase of renovation after being unused for several years, although this is taking place there was no distrubance to the trip as no work was done whilst we were there - it will be a big hotel when all finished and wish them all the best for the future. If our experience is anything to go by it will be a great success and out match the competition. Thank you

Our hotel, St Brelades, cancelled our disco at short notice and for no reason, fortunately the Gracellie stepped in and offered to host this at no cost and were extremely nice and helpful

We chose this restaurant on the basis of other reviews and were very disappointed with the quality of the food. Our order included goat's cheese and cranberry tart which contained hardly any cheese, something purporting to be moules mariniere (mussels cooked in white wine) that was in a creamy kind of sauce and included two unopened shells (every recipe I've ever read for mussels says you should discard unopened ones) and tough steak. It did not represent good value for money.

We happened to pass by the Gracellie Hotel, on the way down Hope Road, to the beach, with a couple of my male and female friends, including my 6 year old son, and Jack Russell dog. One of us noticed they had a public bar, so went in, to keep out of the February cold. It was amazing! They allowed dogs, and had a water bowl ready waiting for him! They even had a pool table (40p a go!), darts, juke box, pinball machine, massive TV, and on Friday nights they apparently have a DJ! We all had something to do, even my young son got to have a go on the pinball machine. No more resounding cries of "I'm bored". We took a brochure and the rooms were gorgeous (far better than where we are staying, but that's another story....) and reasonably priced. We had dinner there and it was absolutely amazing, even my son who is as fussy as they come, ate everything, and asked for ice cream afterwards....this is a boy who only eats chips! The staff were warm and friendly and didn't bat an eye when my son begged them for a free go on the pinball machine. The barman handed him 50p from his own pocket! This is the best bar I have ever been to, and if I lived here, it would be my local. From now on, anytime we visit the Isle of Wight we will stay at the Gracellie Hotel. 10 out of 10.

I will always remember The Gracellie Hotel, it's where I came in with my boyfriend and left a couple of hours later with my fiance! My boyfriend normally comes here to have a drink and play pool with his brother, in the downstairs bar and is always raving about it. He decided to spoil me for Valentines Day, and reserved a table for the two of us. When we turned up, our table was elaborately decorated with balloons and flowers, and soft romantic music playing....nothing to do with him, the hotel staff did this for all the Valentines Day diners, a wonderful touch! We had the most gorgeous fresh fish for our main course and my dessert was to die for. I enjoy a good wine, and the wine was absolutely superb. My boyfriend proposed to me, and I of course accepted. The setting was romantic, classy, and the staff professional. We were so impressed with the whole Valentines Day experience, and my fiance extremely happy with the bill (a first), that we have decided to hire this hotel as our wedding venue. There is an outdoor decking area overlooking the sea, and I have already started planning my wedding photos. With a hotel and restaurant like The Gracellie, we need look no further. I wish to thank the staff for creating a wonderful memory, and making another in the not too distant future.

booked for valentines night, the restaurant was very large but service very attentive. food was fantastic and very reasonable. water was provided free of charge and the young waitress was very presentable and caring. my only small criticism it was a little cold but outside temps were -10. the leather seats were so comfortable and the tables nice and large i hope the restaurant continues the standard.. will definitely be calling again

Found this hotel with a restaurant open and inviting. Called in on Friday and was so impressed. The dining room was very comfortable and spacious. Had the fish which was superb, cooked to perfection and so fresh and moist. Sadly was driving but my friends enjoyed the house wine a fairly priced £11.95. The total bill for 3 was £62.00 and truly a bargain for all the care and politeness from the just right staff. Will hope that I'll be able to return soon as I have no complaints.... Also intend to stay so that I can dine in peace. Thanks to all the staff, wonderfull!!

Beautiful decor and wonderful food. Only asked for fish and chips but the beer batter was truly light and tatsy the hand cut chips a delight. Had a home made cheesecake (blueberry) pie which was heaven. Will definitely return to try the seafood platter ...
