The Alverbank Hotel is often praised for its beautiful location and interior, with some rooms, like Room 1 and Room 2, offering spacious layouts and character, along with gorgeous views, especially across to the Isle of Wight. Guests enjoy the exceptional breakfast, sometimes served on the sunny garden terrace.

the staff were really nice and helpful, i must say.
Room 6 was described as "cosy double", but it felt small and shabby. The pine furniture was quite cheap, more like something you'd find being recycled.
