Our room was lovely with plenty of storage space for our requirements. Lovely soft towels in the bathroom which were a good size. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast choices were sufficient, and the Full English was excellent. The lunch and dinner menus ( paid separately) were a delight. So much to choose from and the portions were large. We had to ask for smaller meals, which they accommodated with pleasure.

The pillows were a little too lumpy for my taste, but that's obviously personal choice. There were one or two areas in the conservatory restaurant which might have benefitted from a deep clean...the windows and window frames for instance. Perhaps a little attention to the potted plants. But everywhere else was thoroughly cleaned.

Room clean comfortable, quiet and relaxing, good value for money. Evening meal (not included in deal) and breakfast (which was included) were very tasty and generous, relarively young staff were attentive and very friendly. Would recommend The Stag without hesitation. Room and pub were clean tidy and comfortable. Plenty of parking available which was private for site and a relatively safe area as far as I could tell. Perfect for our 2 day visit to the island.

My wife found the twin bed mattresses a little "bouncy" but really didn't negatively affect our sleep, so not an issue for us. Hence our rating bed comfort as excellent.

The location was spot on for what we wanted to do on our trip, with nice views from both the restaurant area and our bedroom. The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially Jolie & Tyler, and having a spacious car park with easy access to the buildig was a plus as my partner is partially disabled. Top of the list though was the food - the evening meal was one of the best I have had for years, from the imaginative and tasty haggis & tatties starter through the splendid Chicken Monterrey nain course and the delicious chocolate & lime cheesecake. We really hope to return one day and try more !! :-)

I didn't appreciate a huge dog being allowed in the bar after our lovely meal as I have cynophobia and there was no mention of the venue being dog friendly, a reason why we opted against another venue which actively seems to encourage the creatures when booking. To be fair we were pretty much ready to retire to our room when the beast arrived so it didn't spoil our stay - the only negative that prevented a 10/10 rating ...

We came to stay on the Island for just one night and found the Stag Inn.At first i needed a family room,2 twins?and a double, but had to cancel the Family room and a twin,.there wasn't a problem. The reception on arriving was great,we were greeted warmly and made very welcome. We asked if we could book a taxi, which was then all done for us. We decided to have a meal and the food was lovely so much choice.The rooms were spotless and very comfortable,tea making facilities,we were given a key in case we were back late.All in all this was a great place to stay.The staff were friendly and very professional.

Possibly softer pillows,but then that is a matter of choice.Other than that, there isn't anything to dislike.

The catering at the Stag is First Rate! We had super service without long waits and excellent small breakfast which was plentiful

Mattresses are the older soft sprung type...prefer the more modern types like Emma.

Ben the assistant manager was really welcoming, helpful, friendly. Our first morning breakfast was brilliant, but the second morning they had run out of eggs.

The cleaner needs to hover the edges of the carpets and the top of the material headboards to remove the dust, and clean around the bottom of the toilet floor. Otherwise very clean Mattresses in our room were very soft and bouncy, I took my own pillow so can’t comment.

Staff and food were absolutely lovely. Location is strategic and with a nice view. Also big and clean rooms. I'd definitely come back.

...Just be careful cause the tent in the bathroom was a bit moldy and the small milk packs on the table were expired. Little details, but it would be a pity to get negative feedbacks

Nice pub in a great location for our job. Food was excellent and the rooms clean and comfy. Ideal for contractors working away from home.

Nothing.

We had a very comfortable stay at The Stag. The room was small but had all the necessities and was exactly as you'd expect as part of Pub accommodation, it was pleasant, clean and comfortable. The staff were super friendly and the breakfast included was delicious - just what we needed to fuel our busy day ahead! We were able to park at The Stag and then catch the bus from across the road straight into Cowes for dinner, which was very handy and easy! I was nervous staying at a pub as I was worried we would be kept awake all night, but this wasn't the case at all as the Pub closed around 10pm (but we could easily access our room after this) and you couldn't hear the busy main road either as the windows were double-sealed.
