We thought the Highdown Inn In was excellent. The room was good, and dinner in the evening was very good. Would recommend this hotel. Also reasonable cost not expensive.

I only stayed for one night but wishing I stayed for longer now! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Absolutely loved the space, the bedroom was comfortable and clean, and gave a very homey b&b feeling. I took transit and found it fairly straightforward to get to. And its an easy walk to the Tennyson monument! Would definitely recommend!

Very welcoming staff, excellent locally sourced breakfast. Very tempting menus on the blackboard in the bar - it was a shame we were already booked to eat elsewhere! Next time...

We had a great afternoon and evening. Lucy and Sean were very friendly and welcoming as were the rest of the staff. The menu options and food was brilliant and the music in the garden was an added bonus. We will return!

On arrival we were given a warm and friendly reception. The room was very clean and had all we needed for our weekend stay. We had an excellent dinner on the first evening from an extensive menu. Breakfast on each morning was very good with friendly service. Altogether a memorable stay in a friendly hospitable country inn.

The room was clean and tidy, bed was comfy. Food and fire in the bar downstairs were perfect. I was a little disappointed with the shower pressure, but I was still clean at the end! Would definitely visit again.

What you would expect from a early 1800's pub/inn. Full of character. Room small but comfortable and clean. Good tasty breakfast and friendly staff.

Perfect twin room, not the biggest but everything you need, bright, cheerful and very well presented. Friendly staff, nothing too much trouble. Dinner in the evening was delicious with a good selection of real ales. Breakfast room (not in the main pub) is lovely and lots of choice. Parking right outside, very handy for the Tennyson Memorial and a walk to the Needles. Can’t fault it and will definitely come back.

A lovely country pub in a quiet setting. Unfortunately an alarm in the kitchen, directly underneath our room, was going off all night which meant almost no sleep!

One night stop over in comfortable bedroom where our dog was allowed to stay in the room. Ate in the bar in the evening which was busy with locals as well as a few tourists - there was a good choice of dishes and our food was all fresh produce and perfectly cooked. Superb hearty cooked breakfast in the morning rounded everything off. Highly recommend.

The check-in was super easy. Loved the concept and of this "old" times pub accommodation. Even being an old building, it was clean and taked care off. The staff was accessible and we highly recommend you to have dinner there as the food smells amazing (we had the typical Sunday roast - huge portion and affordable). The only thing I would say it's that the shower had no pressure and the water was not hot enough for my partner.

Lovely room. About 20 minutes walk from the needles and 20 minutes the other way to freshwater, with a nice off road route. Also right on the footpath to Tennyson downs so a nice loop along the downs to the needles and back. Takes about 1 3/4 hours. Room was lovely and fresh. Breakfast was superb. If you want dinner book a table as the pub gets busy. Lovely pub but shuts early , so if you are late back make sure you know how to get in ! Would definitely stay again. Great to be able to use Tesco vouchers for booking
