Loved by guests
"Excellent travel connection to mainland (Portsmouth ferry, hovercraft very next to Ryde Castle) and to the rest of the Isle of Wight."
"I like that the building was solid and it did not feel like you could hear through thin walls."
"Plenty of choice at breakfast and our room was at the front of the hotel with a great view over Ryde beach towards Portsmouth."
Ryde Castle, Ryde - A Victorian Gem by the Sea
The majestic Ryde Castle, a former Victorian manor, stands as a commanding presence on Ryde seafront, offering a unique vantage point over the picturesque marina. Its enduring charm and prime location have cemented its status as a distinguished choice for those seeking a coastal retreat on the Isle of Wight. This establishment offers a thoughtfully curated experience, marrying historical gravitas with contemporary comforts.

Ryde Castle enjoys an enviable position directly overlooking the town's seafront and marina, providing guests with uninterrupted maritime vistas. It is conveniently situated just a short walk from both the hovercraft and catamaran services linking the Isle of Wight with Portsmouth and Southsea, making arrivals and departures remarkably effortless. Nearby points of interest include Ryde Pier (1 km), the Ryde District Heritage Centre (0.5 km), and Ryde Harbour (0.5 km), offering guests ample opportunity to explore the local charm and history.
Style and Character
Retaining its Victorian heritage, Ryde Castle presents a characterful ambiance, marked by traditional furnishings and a sense of dignified history. The architecture evokes a bygone era, yet the interiors are thoughtfully maintained to ensure comfort. While specific renovations are not detailed, the 'castle' moniker suggests an establishment of substantial character, promising an atmosphere that is both grand and welcoming.
Service and Facilities
The Ryde Brasserie serves as a central hub for dining, offering a warm atmosphere with an extensive à la carte menu and a comprehensive wine list. Guests can enjoy meals and drinks within the restaurant's inviting setting or out on the bar's patio area, taking in the sea air. While not detailing specific service protocols, the presence of a brasserie and bar implies a commitment to guest hospitality and refreshment.

Some rooms offer views of the sea, a particular highlight for those seeking coastal panoramas. The spacious rooms feature fine furnishings, en-suite bathrooms, and sleigh beds, with specific units offering a choice between a bath over shower or a walk-in shower, and some even featuring a wet room facility. The layout can accommodate double beds and sofa beds, with options for a seaview in select rooms.
Food and Drink
The Ryde Brasserie provides a diverse culinary experience, with a large à la carte menu that spans from bar snacks to more refined dining options. The establishment also boasts an extensive wine list, perfect for complementing any meal. For those seeking seasonal indulgence, a deluxe Festive menu is available, featuring delicious roasts complete with lashings of gravy. The drinks selection is equally impressive, offering a variety of hot beverages, some with an alcoholic twist, ranging from a Winter Warmer Mulled Wine to a Mis Amigos Chocolate Cream Tequila Liqueur coffee, and a Salted Caramel Luxury Hot Chocolate.

Its proximity to transport links and local attractions, combined with its traditional charm and diverse dining options, suggests a solid value. The inclusion of seaview rooms and varied amenities enhances the overall guest experience, making it a worthy consideration for a coastal getaway.
Accessibility
While specific accessibility features are not detailed, the mention of walk-in showers and varied bathroom configurations in some rooms suggests an awareness of different guest needs. Further inquiry regarding wheelchair access and adapted rooms would be advisable for guests with specific mobility requirements.

The traditional charm of Ryde Castle likely appeals to families looking for a comfortable and convenient base from which to explore the Isle of Wight.
“This Victorian-era hotel presents an interesting lodging option with its castle architecture, and I think families will appreciate its proximity to the beach and public transport. There's a focus on local craft beverages and a varied menu; plus, the outdoor areas and beer garden create a welcoming space. It's an atmospheric spot, worth considering for a vacation.”
