What guests think
At The Crab And Lobster Inn, travellers repeatedly praise the scenic coastal setting with sea views from rooms and terraces, welcoming staff who go out of their way to help, and enjoyable food, especially the generous breakfasts and well-regarded dinners.
Rooms are generally comfortable and nicely decorated, with several spacious sea-view options, though some guests mention smaller or dated rooms, intermittent maintenance issues (heating or hot water), and safety niggles like slippery baths or stiff door locks. The lively pub is a plus, though there can be occasional noise on event nights or from kitchen fans. Expect a friendly coastal inn with character, and a relaxed, informal stay.

The view was stunning from the terrace area however you could see the sea from our room but it was a limited view and that was the only negative I could find . What a stunning part of the Island ,such friendly and caring staff that took a genuine interest in your holiday . Loved it and would stay there again in a heart beat. Picturesque setting.

Clean room, comfortable bed, lovely view from the room. Breakfast was great. Staff in the pub were lovely - super apologetic when there was a loud local night (which we enjoyed - if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!). We had a car which was parked in the carpark easily. The pub itself did wonderful food and we had a very good time.

Fantastic stay, even if it was only one night, I got there a little late, but the host opened the kitchen back for me. The beer was good as so was the open fire and views, room was great again with a sea view!! And comfortable compliment with a great breakfast in the morning, truly this place is a little gem

On the coast, 30 minutes walk into Bembridge itself. The IoW is not big so everywhere is a not far away but the road system on the Island is not brilliant. Don't think that a 15 mile journey (to say Osborne House) will take less that 30 minutes, it won't. And to finish, the dinner's were very good.

From the moment we arrived was a perfect fit, originally staying one night & booked another - great location and pub interior makes such a difference as soon as you walk in as exterior very traditional. Staff were super helpful, love it's dog friendly too as also makes a difference to clientele! Thanks to Phil, Drew, Hayley & Chelsea - fab service and local knowledge!

Rooms very tired need updating, no bath mat in very slippery bath, no handle to hold onto. Very unsafe. No fans to offer in this extreme heat. Staff first class, best part of the accommodation. The view from our room was a brick wall. Kitchen fans running from 8.00am till around 10.30 very noisy. Food prices were ridiculous totally overpriced. Definitely would not stay there again

Booked sea view room (Nab) it was excellent. Large & airy with windows on two sides & excellent sea view. Only slight niggle, the bath could do with an anti-slip mat. Nearly slipped whilst having a shower. Also, grab handle on wall would be helpful for those of us not quite so nimble. However, that niggle was slightly countered by the fact that the extractor fan actually worked - most unusual! The food in the restaurant was plentiful & delicious, apart from the pudding! The chocolate brownie had the rasberry gel missing and the Eton Mess had no ice cream. I think the chef was rushing to get home! Breakfast was fantastic! Staff were cheerful, friendly & efficient. Bottom line, that will be the place we stay next time we go to the IOW.

Our bedroom (The Nab) was very comfortable and spacious with great sea views. We were surprised that our main dish of mussels (described as 1 kg but more like a half) was inedible - grossly overcooked with multiple empty or cracked shells. Amazed the chef did not notice when he plated the mussels. Anyway they responded instantly by taking the cost off the bill and giving us two desserts on the house, so all was forgiven and we will return.

This hotel is a gem nestling above the beach st Bembridg with great views out to sea. It is in a great location for coastal walks, a 10 walk to the bus towards Newport and Ryde. It is just 15 to 20 minute walk from the village. Our room, Culver, was spacious and comfortable. The shower ensuite was particularly good, with a gentle monsoon shower at perfect temperature. We ate there too the first night and the food was excellent. Breakfast was particularly good. It is the first hotel I've stayed in that offers smashed avocado with your choice of eggs for breakfast. And with all this, the staff were very friendly and helpful. I woukd recommend the Crab & Lobster whole heartedly.

It is just 15 to 20 minute walk from the village. Our room, Culver, was spacious and comfortable. The shower ensuite was particularly good, with a gentle monsoon shower at perfect temperature. We ate there too the first night and the food was excellent. Breakfast was particularly good. It is the first hotel I've stayed in that offers smashed avocado with your choice of eggs for breakfast. And with all this, the staff were very friendly and helpful. I woukd recommend the Crab & Lobster whole heartedly.

On the coast, 30 minutes walk into Bembridge itself. The IoW is not big so everywhere is a not far away but the road system on the Island is not brilliant. Don't think that a 15 mile journey (to say Osborne House) will take less that 30 minutes, it won't. And to finish, the dinner's were very good.

We loved our stay at the Crab and Lobster. The whole team were really friendly and welcoming. The views from the front of the building were so scenic and the captains breakfast was amazing we had it both mornings.

Rooms very tired need updating, no bath mat in very slippery bath, no handle to hold onto. Very unsafe. No fans to offer in this extreme heat. Staff first class, best part of the accommodation. The view from our room was a brick wall. Kitchen fans running from 8.00am till around 10.30 very noisy. Food prices were ridiculous totally overpriced. Definitely would not stay there again

Awesome place to stay in Bembridge, Natalie was especially welcoming and made the whole stay really fantastic all round. The view from the terrace is stunning and the food is so so good. A real BnB gem for sure, and I hope to be back soon.

Booked sea view room (Nab) it was excellent. Large & airy with windows on two sides & excellent sea view. Only slight niggle, the bath could do with an anti-slip mat. Nearly slipped whilst having a shower. Also, grab handle on wall would be helpful for those of us not quite so nimble. However, that niggle was slightly countered by the fact that the extractor fan actually worked - most unusual! The food in the restaurant was plentiful & delicious, apart from the pudding! The chocolate brownie had the rasberry gel missing and the Eton Mess had no ice cream. I think the chef was rushing to get home! Breakfast was fantastic! Staff were cheerful, friendly & efficient. Bottom line, that will be the place we stay next time we go to the IOW.

I was part of a group of 3 couples who came for a week's holiday. We ate every night at the pub and really enjoyed the food and service. One of the rooms had a problem with their shower, but the manager got a plumber there very quickly. All of us would stay here again.

Clean room, comfortable bed, lovely view from the room. Breakfast was great. Staff in the pub were lovely - super apologetic when there was a loud local night (which we enjoyed - if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!). We had a car which was parked in the carpark easily. The pub itself did wonderful food and we had a very good time.

Lovely place but we visited at the coldest time of the year and the heating could have been much more powerful. An EV charger or two would have been very helpful here but I think perhaps I’m asking a bit too much here.
