Friendly local pub with good food and fresh clean rooms. The Pilot Boat Inn is located near the beach in in the lovely village of Bembridge. George and his team went out of their way to make us welcome and look after us over our weekend stay.

Very unfair. Couple arrived to check in at 1-15 in the morning, no apology!! Next night arrived back 1-30. Owner clearly does care as both nights he waited up to let them in ! Never asked for key as would of course have been given one. Blinds in room are, well, blinds but having gone to bed so late and... More

However as soon as we went in we were greeted by lovely friendly staff and had a really good meal at reasonable price. Lovely beers too. Nice clean and welcoming environment. Go here its great!

We visited this pub for Sunday lunch. We have the roast beef and roast belly of pork - both at £8.95. The meals were served hot, on hot plates and were excellent with roast potatoes "just like Mum made"!! Bar staff were friendly and checked the meals were to our liking. Good beers served at the bar including real ales... More

I was delighted to find the Pilot Boat Inn at short notice as they were willing to accept a one-night stay (unlike most of the other unhelpful B&Bs in the area). I stayed here with my parents and both our bedrooms were clean and comfortable with unfussy, minimal decor. The beds were very comfortable, the showers were hot and powerful... More

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at the pilot boat after a short golfing trip to the island. After I had finished I was cold, hungry and tired. The pilot boat was the cure, it's staff were very accommodating, the food was to a high standard and the atmosphere felt lively. It was a great place to relax and... More

Had a very good meal with my family. The staff and owners were friendly and polite, making you welcome. The food was good and presented well. A good experience overall, and would go again. The only suggestion would be to have some background music.

We stayed at the Pilot Boat Inn in Bembridge for 1 night. When we first arrived the staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room was nicely decorated, clean and light. The evening meal was very good and reasonably priced. There was a large group having dinner the same time as us, but our food still came quickly. Breakfast... More

Well what an improved venue from a year ago! The whole eating experience has improved, the food was good, well presented and the staff attitude was welcoming. We went at a lunch time and it was very quiet and perhaps a little light low volumed music would have prevented us all hearing each others conversation and a little more warmth... More
