Alverbank Country House Hotel

Family lunch booked - outside table in a large garden with a great outlook over the bay. Food was excellent and service was great - really friendly staff. Just one minor negative - only one table in the garden had any shade and it was a particularly sunny day when we visited - might be worth considering for the future

We booked 3 nights (Thurs 2nd- Sunday 5th) to celebrate mine and my husband's wedding. We stayed in the bridal suite (room 1) which is a gorgeous room over looking the garden and sea. The room was spacious, clean and perfect. All the staff were so accommodating and friendly. I didn't want to leave! Claire- thank you so much for making our wedding weekend the best ever! So recommend staying here. I can't wait to stay again!

A big, big thank you to Abby, Billy, Claire and the Alverbank team for making our wedding day so perfect in every way. Your guidance, advise, care and attention to detail was exceptional. Billy was a superstar in ensuring the day ran without hiccup and Claire working in the background to make sure everything went smoothly. Beautiful bedrooms, delicious food and a superb venue by the sea for wedding photographs. The whole experience was fabulous and a day we will treasure forever. We received high praise from all our guests. Thank you! Linda & Gary

We have enjoyed several great meals at the Alverbank recently. Sitting in glorious sunshine on a balcony overlooking the sea is bliss.the setting is fantastic. and as for the roast dinner.fabulous. Billy and the staff were great as always, however a special mention for Lauren who was delightful, helpful, attentive, enthusiastic and a real gem in the Alverbank team. Thanks everyone - we are so lucky to live near such a great place to eat, drink and chill. and they love dogs Perfect!

Came here for a wedding, a beautiful building inside and out. All of the staff were very friendly, amazing wedding meal too! 3 courses were lovely and the blondie was the nicest desert I've ever had. Came back a month later to try the food and drink again and was blown away again, I would recommend anyone to come and try their food! Beautifully cooked and the staff are all lovely and very friendly! I'll definitely be back for more food! I'd recommend booking if you're coming to eat though :

A hidden gem. Warm and friendly, attentive and efficient staff and excellent food. From their garden are spectacular views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight. I held my husband's wake at the Alverbank on a spring afternoon. I wanted hot food that would be easy to eat while everyone caught up so we chose fish pie and shepherd's pie which went down a storm.

Their spacious entertaining room was ideal for everyone to gather and talk of their memories of my husband. He had a wonderful send off. Thank you, it could not have been more perfect.

A big THANK YOU to Abby, Dave, Billy and all the staff at The Alverbank for a wonderful lunch for my family yesterday. We had booked somewhere else but were let down at the last minute. Abby fitted all 15 of us in and we used the side room, which was perfect. All of the staff were so welcoming and couldn't do enough to help us. The food was excellent.

The service was excellent. We all felt that we ended up having a MUCH better experience than we would have had with the other venue - we definitely lucked in! I would HIGHLY recommend the Alverbank Hotel. Thank you once again Abby. Cassy xxx

The Alverbank Country House Hotel (or "Alverbank Rooms") is a lovely grade II listed Victorian building that sits between a beautiful park and the sea front in Stokes Bay, with a view of the Isle of Wight. We received a warm welcome and a free upgrade to room 5, a double that looks out on the entrance to the nearby park, the front parking area, and allows glimpses of the sea.

Current management is in the process of renovating the bedrooms. Although some details are still to be finished, the rooms do already look very nice, and are comfortable, with all the important bits like bathrooms having already been done. The interior of the room (no. 5) offered a combination of modern and vintage furnishings, an impressive old fireplace, and a completely renovated bathroom, where we especially loved the excellent, beautiful shower.

The suite in vintage style went well with our idea of how a bathroom in a building like this should look. The breakfast, included in the room price, was continental, and offered everything we wanted, including warm croissants. Service is friendly, staff are helpful, parking is free, and the location is lovely. We're already planning our next visit.

Food and drink was absolutely amazing! Fabulous family lunch next to the roaring fire. Just perfect on a cold Saturday afternoon. Staff were so attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We will be back for sure! Sea Bream was incredible. Plus love that they now stock Powder Monkey craft beer. Keep in' it local

Christmas Dinner Had a works Christmas Dinner 16 December 22. The food was fantastic, probably the best Christmas Meal I have had at any function. It was excellent. The only down was we felt we needed more time post Dinner to chat/socialise and drink.

Fantastic Christmas dinner with colleagues, in comfortable surroundings. The Christmas food was superb *Quote: "Best restaurant Christmas meal I've had!". The service staff were happy and engaged, the atmosphere perfect. Considering the short notice booking, due to a venue letdown elsewhere, the Marketing Team did everything in their power to accommodate us. I will be booking the venue again, in the near future. Thank you!

Amazing from start to finish. Venue beautiful, food delightful with a great choice, overnight stay spacious and super comfy. Staff outstanding. Can't wait to come back. Thank you Alverbank team.

Had lunch in the restaurant today. Service was excellent but we all felt the prices were high for what we had - 14 for what amounts to burger and chips. Burger was tough. There is a log fire but it was left to go out. We were extremely cold which really spoilt our lunch time. I mentioned it to the waitress and she did move the heater nearer to us but it still didn't throw out much heat. Make sure you wrap up well if you are going for a meal. Shame as it is in a beautiful setting.

Had a good time for a celebratory lunch. Was pleased to sit near a real fire! Prompt efficient service. There are some things for medical reasons I am unable to eat, so staff did there utmost to help. Prices reasonable.

An amazing family meal in the private dining room, meal was great, service incredible, nothing was too much trouble. Followed but an overnight stay. Highly recommended and will be back again. The thing that made the stay and meal was the staff. Well worth the money!

We celebrated my mother-in-law's 90th birthday last Sunday at the Alverbank Hotel, it was great and nothing was too much trouble. We also had our 2 Standard Poodles with us, who were made so very welcome. They are absolutely dog friendly and have their own resident dog Florence who is delightful. We also stayed overnight and had a beautiful room with sea view.

The team also went the extra mile to get our room ready for a very early check-in as we had a 4 hour journey and needed to shower etc before our family lunch. We will absolutely be going back for further stays when visiting the area to visit our family. A huge thank you to the team at the Alverbank for making our stay so memorable.

The Alverbank is a stunning hotel, with beautiful views over the water. We were there for the wedding of my son and the attention to detail was outstanding, the food was exceptional and our time there was made even more special by the staff; Claire and the team made sure that every request was met and all done with a smile and a great attitude. The room was cosy and warm with the log open fire which set the scene beautifully.

The garden is private and with the water backdrop made the photos simply stunning. The room for the bride and groom was simply stunning! immaculate and every detail attended too. I would highly recommend this venue for any formal occasion or simply for a romantic weekend away.

Beautiful building overlooking the water. The food was good, fresh and tasty, good sized portions. The staff were the highlight for me, they were informative, polite and welcoming they are a really lovely team at The Alverbank.
