We loved staying at Albert Cottage. It is a unique property with beautiful historical furnishings and design. The breakfasts are wonderful. There is a lovely sitting room where we played cards. It has a nice restaurant. It is an easy walk to the fantastic Osborne House. There were a couple of small plumbing issues due to the age of the building but they were taken care of and not significant. We stayed in many places during our trip to the UK and loved this one in particular.

It's a unique property as it's a historic building, walking distance to Osborne House. Staff couldn't have been more helpful or welcoming. The restaurant serves excellent food and the breakfast room and lounge are cosy. Our bedroom was large , comfortable and clean. Highly recommend it.

⭐⭐⭐☆☆ The hotel was average overall. The bedding was comfortable, and the food was okay. However, it was disappointing to see a cat inside the dining area while guests were eating. This raised concerns about cleanliness and hygiene and affected the dining experience. I hope the hotel improves this in the future to provide a more comfortable environment for guests.
