เดอะ ไฮดาวน์ อินน์

Ate dinner here as party of 6 on Monday September 25. First encouraging sign was the place was packed - thankfully we had booked ahead. Good drinks, lovely staff and impressive menu. Really worth seeking out as food well cooked, excellent service plus you get to meet the locals! Can’t wait to go back

Me and two of my sisters went for lunch on Monday just gone. All I can say is wow!! I have never had a steak and mushroom pie like the one served here in my life. It was not only absolutely incredible but it was huge and packed from the bottom to the top of the beautiful pasty. The steak was tender and the gravy delicious. The mushrooms were perfectly cooked as well. The whole meal was perfectly seasoned too! Can't fault our visit in anyway. The staff were lovely and food fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you 😊

Having eaten here before, we decided to give it a go for overnight because of the lovely location just behind Tennyson Down, a short walk from the Needles and because it's dog friendly. A helpful young staff member showed us to our prettily decorated corner room, which was compact but clean, comfortable & well equipped. The quality of the food at both dinner & breakfast was some of the best we experienced on this Isle of Wight trip: fresh and tasty with local ingredients. There was an extremely long wait for dinner: 25 mins before our order was taken, then three quarters of an hour more before our food arrived. The staff were generally very friendly but the landlady was sharp when we left, we had to show our dinner receipt before we were allowed to proceed. Unnecessary, and left a sour taste.
