Breakfast is repeatedly praised for quality and choice, most dinners are enjoyed in the on-site restaurant and bar, and parking is straightforward. Some note dated or tired areas, variable room sizes or layouts, and occasional inconsistencies with individual dishes. Overall, expect a well-run stay with solid value as a relaxed island base.

We had a great 3-night stay at The Birdham. It's a mix of the personal touch of a B&B with the facilities of a quality hotel. The staff are very focused on customer service, right from the welcome by Anthony to the lady who made up our room. It's an old building so we didn't expect all mod cons, but the room was well equipped and in the large bathroom the shower was adequate and water was always hot. We ate in the hotel everynight and the food was excellent and served with a smile. Parking was easy in the dedicated car park. We had an early check out and were offered a breakfast bag, which was an indication of how the Birdham goes the extra mile.

A lovely traditional locally based hotel with a pub and restaurant. I’ve stayed at the Birdham a number of times in the past and only the last visit was not up to standard. I’m glad to say that that was only a blip. My room was lovely - a good size with a very comfortable bed and good quality linen. The shower is hot and powerful and there is a useful supply of toiletries. The restaurant offers a good range of standard bar food and the a la carte menu has some great choices that are of a standard not found in many IOW pubs and restaurants. Breakfasts are very generous with several cooked options as well as fresh fruit and croissants and cereals. A very good choice that I would recommend.

Breakfast cooked to order and was excellent and very friendly staff throughout. We ate in the bar one evening and once again the food was well priced and excellent. Would not hesitate to stay again. Good location also for the local village and a walk to the beach.

The hotel was a good location for us as a base. 2 minutes drive down to the beach and lifeboat station or about 15/20 minutes walk. Nice to walk along the beach path in the evening. Local convenience store on the way. Evening meal was lovely and the breakfast choice and quality was superb. Nice bar and restaurant area with lovely ambiance in the evening. Stayed midweek and was very peaceful at night. Friendly welcome and all staff were lovely and gave good service. Car park is big enough even though it gets busy with restaurant bookings. Had a slightly smaller room which could do without the wardrobes being in it to give more space and room for a couple of easy chairs but the bathroom was generous. Nice touch with the travel toiletries.

I stayed at the Birdham in late January 2025. The room was very comfortable, the breakfast was particularly good - excellent menu, good cooked options, and delicious. I used the restaurant and bar on one evening, which again was excellent - good choices, delicious food, and a good atmosphere, it was used both by locals, and for business meetings. I would recommend the Birdham to anyone looking to stay in Bembridge or the Isle of Wight.

Easy parking at the hotel. Old building with all its quaintness and squeaks but with many refurbushed areas. Breakfast was great, towels are fluffiest. Blinds in bathroom a bit overcomplicated requiring help from reception. Walkable to Bembridge high street.

We stayed at the Birdham for a mini-break and were very pleased with our choice. It has been recently refurbished to a good standard and was very clean. The team were all very friendly and helpful and the food was very good. Bembridge itself is fairly small and quiet but it is easy to get to from the ferries and was also a good base for touring the island. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a nice place to stay for an Isle of Wight break.

As it was August, we weren’t surprised to find ourselves in an attic room but we were pleasantly surprised by the lovely big bathroom with a bath, and the towels were so soft but absorbent at the same time, which isn’t often the case. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and it was quiet all night. The hotel is characterful and the staff are pleasant, they were working very hard during the busy dinner. We were rather disappointed with the meal:my partner’s rump steak was very chewy and my sea bass (£24) was minuscule, the “new potatoes” appeared to have been deep-fried and the capers were so salty that I was really thirsty all night! Luckily in the room is provided bottles of still and sparkling water, very much appreciated! We also liked the coffee machine. We would definitely come back, probably out of season when rooms are much cheaper. We enjoyed a lovely walk up to the windmill and then back along the picturesque coast.

We stayed at The Birdham for three nights in March 2024 and received a lovely warm welcome from Anthony when we arrived. We were made to feel welcome by all the staff including the bar and restaurant staff who were warm and friendly and very efficient. We ate in the hotel for all three nights and the food was generally of a good quality with generous portions. There is a good choice of hot dishes at breakfast - all cooked fresh to order, as well as cereals, yogurts, juice etc. Our deluxe room was comfortable and quiet with lovely, soft bedding and we had a lovely, large bathroom with huge, soft towels. We would definitely stay there again if we were in the area.

Definitely recommended if you're looking for a nice place to stay for an Isle of Wight break.

Stayed midweek and was very peaceful at night. Friendly welcome and all staff were lovely and gave good service. Car park is big enough even though it gets busy with restaurant bookings. Had a slightly smaller room which could do without the wardrobes being in it to give more space and room for a couple of easy chairs but the bathroom was generous. Nice touch with the travel toiletries.

Easy parking at the hotel. Old building with all its quaintness and squeaks but with many refurbushed areas. Breakfast was great, towels are fluffiest. Blinds in bathroom a bit overcomplicated requiring help from reception. Walkable to Bembridge high street.

Comfy bed and pillows and a good shower with complimentary toiletries. Good breakfast which was let down by the hotel serving squash instead of real juice which was disappointing Really helpful waitress at breakfast, unfortunately we didn't catch her name. We didn't have dinner but the bar was busy Overall a lovely short break

As it was August, we weren’t surprised to find ourselves in an attic room but we were pleasantly surprised by the lovely big bathroom with a bath, and the towels were so soft but absorbent at the same time, which isn’t often the case. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and it was quiet all night. The hotel is characterful and the staff are pleasant, they were working very hard during the busy dinner. We were rather disappointed with the meal:my partner’s rump steak was very chewy and my sea bass (£24) was minuscule, the “new potatoes” appeared to have been deep-fried and the capers were so salty that I was really thirsty all night! Luckily in the room is provided bottles of still and sparkling water, very much appreciated! We also liked the coffee machine. We would definitely come back, probably out of season when rooms are much cheaper. We enjoyed a lovely walk up to the windmill and then back along the picturesque coast.

Good experience with very friendly and helpful staff who were a credit to the establishment. Rooms maybe a little dated for some but not a problem for us..Food excellent with one exception. We ate in all 4 nights. Only problem was the Friday night when a steak frankly was as tough as old boot.Should have sent it back. Also when one asks for one poached egg one means one not two. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly come again.

I stayed at the Birdham in late January 2025. The room was very comfortable, the breakfast was particularly good - excellent menu, good cooked options, and delicious. I used the restaurant and bar on one evening, which again was excellent - good choices, delicious food, and a good atmosphere, it was used both by locals, and for business meetings. I would recommend the Birdham to anyone looking to stay in Bembridge or the Isle of Wight.

All staff friendly and welcoming. Spotless room. Excellent choice of breakfasts cooked to order. We ate in the hotel each evening and the food and service were excellent. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend and we will go back to the Birdham on our next visit to IOW.
