Magical place, great food very good value.
I have wanted to stay here for some time. Finally got to do a pre Christmas stay. Our room was amazing, you get a real feel of the history of the building. A lovely warm welcome, with a welcome letter, giving some history of the hotel. Dinner was so good, a reasonable priced wine list and first class food. Breakfast which was included, so rare these days, and was very good. Really loved our stay and it will now be a place to return to, again and again. Would be a wonderful place for a wedding, family reunion, or any special occasion. Many thanks to the owner and wonderful staff for such a lovely stay.

Had an amazing stay at Albert Cottage for a Christmas party. The suite was amazing, the staff couldn’t do enough for you, and both dinner and breakfast were very good indeed. Thoroughly recommend this hotel for any occasion or just a treat!

Not enough great words to describe our stay. The service we received from Chris and others was top level. Our room was lovely and had all the amenities needed without losing on the history of building. We loved the location and proximity to Osborne house but it may not be right for those looking to be closer to the town and restaurants. Our only disappointment was that our stay was to short.

This was a truly lovely and elegant accommodation. It is historic and was originally part of the Osborne estate of Price Albert and Queen Victoria. It was a garden house and visitors stayed there when visiting Osborne. Everything, but especially the remodeled bathroom, was perfect. The bath was huge, with an elegant claw-foot tub. There was also a huge shower as well. The food was excellent, and there was a gourmet restaurant on site. The architecture, garden, and ambiance were perfect for our trip. They made us feel welcome and special throughout our stay. Highly recommended. It's adjacent to the historic Osborne estate for easy visitation.

A lovely place for staying and dining
Albert Cottage Hotel is simply charming. Once part of the Osborne Estate, the covered walkway once used by Victoria & Albert remains. Our room (Alice) was more a suite, with two bedrooms, a large bathroom with both shower and soaking tub and a small central sun room with tables and chairs. The grounds are beautiful with flowering shrubs and trees and large lawns. The onsite restaurant is excellent! Creative, delicious dishes; with a good wine list and even a mixologist who enjoys creating cocktails. There is a nice inside dining room as well as outdoor seating. There’s also a lovely parkour near the reception area that is ideal for after-dinner libations and chatting with fellow travelers. Breakfast was good and they even have American-style bacon. Only thing missing were facial tissues and a safety mat for the shower. It has a slippery floor and made me uncomfortable when I used it for fear of falling. I can’t imagine nicer accommodations on the Isle of Wight.

Had a very agreeable break in this hotel with my family. Very pleasant surroundings, comfortable rooms and friendly and efficient staff. I can't think of any negatives. There was a good and varied breakfast and a comfortable and well stocked bar with a varied and good value wine list. We didn't eat in the Consort restaurant but we were provided with some of their starters in the bar which indicated a high standard there too. Some staff were new to the hotel but they all had a great attitude and were flexible and ready to help. I'd happily stay there again.
