Yelf’s Hotel

Set on Union Street in Ryde, Yelf’s Hotel is an old coaching inn on the Isle of Wight. Boats and hovercraft to Portsmouth and Southsea run from nearby, and the sea is a few minutes away.

Part of the accommodation is in Bromley House, opposite the main building, with ground-floor rooms and large family rooms; guests may stay in either. There is a restaurant, a bar, a conservatory lounge, a terrace, a garden, billiards, a coffee shop, meeting rooms and a laundry.

There is a 24-hour front desk, room service and parking. Newport and Cowes are about 15 minutes away by car. It suits couples and families touring the island.
