Beachfront Inn on the Isle of Wight's South Coast
Beachfront & Grounds
The Buddle Inn offers direct beachfront access along the Isle of Wight's south coast, with a lush garden and a spacious terrace providing unrestricted sea views. The building itself is a 300-year-old former smugglers' inn, known to every Isle of Wight resident and recently renovated to high standards. Guests can borrow wellies for coastal walks and hang outdoor coats in designated spaces, adding practical comfort to the seaside setting.
Accommodations
Rooms include King Rooms and Double Rooms, both with sea views, plus family rooms for groups. Each room features a private bathroom with walk-in shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries, along with a TV and tea and coffee maker. The inn has only four guest rooms, ensuring a quiet, private stay with top-of-the-range fixtures and the most comfortable king-size beds reported by guests.
Dining
The family-friendly restaurant serves British cuisine with vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options available for lunch and dinner. A bar offers cocktails, and the breakfast - rated superb by guests - includes fresh juice and a cooked menu with vegetarian choices. The food emphasizes generous portions and homemade touches like giant onion rings and roasted tomatoes, with a peppercorn sauce praised by diners.
Local Attractions
Blackgang Chine is 4.1 km from the inn, Osborne House is 22 km away, and The Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary is 11 km away. Bournemouth Airport is 61 km from the property. The inn's location offers easy access to coastal walks and the nearby lighthouse, with live jazz music occasionally played in the beer garden during summer.
Pet-Friendly & Family
Dogs are welcome throughout the inn, with dog-friendly dining areas and outdoor garden tables that allow pets to accompany guests. Family rooms accommodate children, and kids' meals are available from the restaurant menu with children's portions.
