Lovely hotel
Lovely hotel. Beautiful views. Excellent breakfast. Comfy bed. Powerful shower. Really friendly and accommodating staff. One very minor negative - only 2 plug sockets in room, which accommodated the tv and kettle, so makes it tricky to charge phones, dry/straighten hair etc. But I'd definitely stay again

Never stay again
Rooms are old and need refurbishment and not clean .Room 20 doesn't have a shower, only a bath and a very small bathroom. The mattress definitely needs changing.

Decent oldish hotel.
Overall it was a wonderful stay, though we had a couple of "little niggles" which took the edge off of it. On two occasions there was no water supply to our room for short periods of time, (just as we wanted to shower!), and on one day our room was not serviced by the chambermaid, even though I went to the front desk twice to ask, when they seemed to be running very late, and was told that they had finished for the day. Anyway, our room was clean and the beds were extremely comfortable, and a good breakfast every day too. Generally happy though.

Lovely Hotel, Passable Room
Whilst the general Hotel facilties were fairly good, the room itself left more to be desired. The Toilet/Shower was quite small for a Superior room, and there were spots of peeling wallpaper in the room and not much colour. The View from the room was lovely though, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the location is very nice.

Great hotel with fabulously friendly, helpful staff. Breakfasts were varied and well cooked and the evening meal we had one night was excellent - the dining room overlooks the sea which was great. Our trip was in early March so somewhat out of season, and places we wanted to visit were closed (especially on Mon/Tues) but staff came up with other ideas of where to go including recommendations for lunch. Room was clean, spacious and warm, if a little tired/dated, but good supplies of tea/coffee etc. Shower was good and hot water plentiful. Swimming pool looked lovely too. Definitely recommend!

Great Hotel, Lovely Staff & Wonderful Food
The Brunswick is a delight. 8 of us (family & friends) stayed for three nights & we all look forward to visiting again. The hotel is under new ownership; who are moving the Brunswick a step above the competition, offering a standard of service & food that was so good it made our stay on the Isle a delight. From first arrival to the moment we left, the staff were wonderful, friendly & helpful. They made every minute in the hotel lovely. The rooms were spotlessly clean & were cleaned as we ate breakfast each morning. The restaurant food is exceptional, far better that we can recall having in any hotel: Fine dining at reasonable prices. Our whole group agreed that if we lived in the area we would all visit the hotel just for the restaurant experience. Two of our party, including me, are Coeliac (Gluten intolerant), which makes stays in hotels & visits to restaurants always a bit of a concern. The attentiveness of the hotel management, staff & kitchen staff was second to none. By being exceptional, all of our concerns were removed, & we could simply enjoy our lovely breakfasts & evening meals. The indoor pool is spotless, the rooms were spotless, the bar comfortable & of course also spotless & the overall ambience a delight. Okay, they still need to tidy some of the carpets & some rooms may need an update, but after a few months ownership they have already made the Brunswick a delight to stay in or eat at. I strongly recommend you visit the Brunswick Hotel.

Very attentive staff. Excellent food. Lounge with picture windows overlooking the sea. Our family room was a bit tired and could do with some tlc, but good to have a separate bedroom so we all slept well. Good value for money and we had breakfast included. We enjoyed the pool.
