The Marine, Ryde in Isle of Wight

Great and fantastic atmosphere. Great service and food.

First time visit for quick breakfast. Polite staff and prompt service. Breakfast very nice and well cooked.Coffee nice too. Would return.

Before we headed home took a stroll along the beach front in Ryde, came across this place, young chap behind the counter very friendly and chatty, good range on the menu, ordered medium and large fish with chips, cooked to order, small seating area, meals came short while after, shop started to become very busy as we waited, fish was lightly battered and chips cooked to perfection, not disappointed, highly recommend

The location for the hotel is really good. It is next to a river, the river was a bit dry when I went. I really like the rooms for premier inn, the hotels rooms, cleanliness and very good and the value for money is incredible. We had a very good sleep and breakfast from the nearby beef eater restaurant. Beef eater provides meals to hotel guests. There is ample parking close to the hotel.

Rather an odd place, some of the plants and surroundings are magnificent and other plants and areas are dreadful! They seem to be trying to achieve a "natural look" but it should not mean just leaving plants without care. We noticed that in some areas the plants are being strangled with bindweed which is sad to see and is going to be very destructive to many plants. Also some very big safety issues with paths close to the hot house blocked by branches and one path with steps going up a fairly steep hill where the handrail is totally hidden by overgrown plants. In the valley at the bottom there is a large pit about 10' deep where the only safety barrier is made from wooden planks some of which have rotted in the ground and are only held together with the rope at the top of each plank, only a matter of time before someone has an accident there and drops into the rocky pit! The hot house is interesting, again planting running wild and escaping from the inside to outdoors. Interesting to talk to a structural engineer who was visiting and reckoned the plants would wreck the structural integrity of the building within 2-3 years. An interesting visit, sometimes for the wrong reasons, if you go take care and be careful on the overgrown sections, especially the paths and steps. A machete and a hard hat might be useful! And if anyone working there reads this... Please get some of your safety issues sorted, if anyone falls down that very poorly protected hole or hurts themselves on your overgrown paths and steps then the damage to your reputation and bank balance could be big indeed
