What people say
The hotel is a 5 mins walk from the sea front. And a ten min walk from
the old village. We had a car- but there are bus stops everywhere and
they seem to be very regular. The options for breakfast were very
varied and even amended it to suit my needs. Tasted lovely and was
cokked healthy (basically everything wasnt fried)(hot and cold served
with such a large variety) the rooms were very nicely decorated, clean
and comfortable. The weather was very cold and Gillian the owner gave
us an extra he. all reviews »
Loved everything about it. Best ever breakfasts, with all you could ask for. The rooms were stylishly decorated and very comfortable and pleasantly warm when it was cold outside. The hotel is well situated for the beach, transport links and the lovely old village.
Gillian and Andy, the proprietors, were very helpful in suggesting the nicest places to visit and how best to get there.
All in all a great hotel.
The hospitality of the owners, the decor of the guest house in general and our superior double room in particular (obviously recently refurbished to a high standard and very tastefully decorated), cleanliness throughout the entire guest house and the delicious breakfasts. Good location close to the sea and a wide variety of restaurants within walking distance. On-site parking and free wifi.
We had the 2nd floor "suite" for one night. Lovely bathroom and large bedroom tastefully decorated in black/white/silver. Additional kitchen area with fridge, hob and all amenities. Ideal for a family staying for a week. Very good value. Well cooked and nicely presented breakfast.
Very clean modern rooms, great breakfast, we are vegatarian and we had a full cooked breakfast each day with choice of quorn or glamorgan sausage. The staff are friendly. Walking distance to great beach, enjoyed our stay, would stay again, would recomend for couples or families.
The hotel is beautifully decorated, presented, and very comfortable. The attention to detail is truly superb - they have tried to give you everything you could ever want both in our room and at breakfast. We would highly recommend The Fawley.
Fantastic stay. Smelt so beautiful inside and was very clean. Beds comfy. towels clean and soft all round lovely accomodation. The scrambled egg and salmon breakfast was amazing. Thank you for having us we will be returning.
It was just brilliant, the whole service, from the contact after booking. Then the whole stay, book in, the room, the breakfast was awesome.
Just a fantastic guest house in a great location. We'll definitely be going back.
we loved everything about the fawley and have nothing negative to say one of the best b & b we have stayed in and hope to return for next year would recommend to friends and famly if ever they holiday on the i o wight.
A very friendly B&B which has been refurbished to a very high standard. The breakfasts are renowned and the owners, Gillian and Andy do everything they can to make your stay comfortable. We will definitely return.
Jillian and Andy were so friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was top notch, the rooms immaculate and even though you're not right on the beachfront it's such a shirt walk it doesn't matter. Very very lovely stay.
The hospitality and facilities at the Fawley were of a very high standard. The Breakfast menu was excellent and we enjoyed our stay of one week very much. We hope to return in the future.

There was nothing I didn't like.
No lifts.
We stayed in the family suite - our children complained that the bunk bed squeaked and swayed and so they kept waking each other up.
The room was a bit hot . A lot of stairs no good for elderly people.
Plastic flowers.
nothing.

Nothing.
It would serve to advertise no lift service especially for the more mature persons who like myself have joint and knee problems.
We also found the poor heating in our room at the top of house added to our problem.
Nothing.
Shower water tempreture was either too hot or too cold.
synthetic pillows.
Soundproofing need to improve.
long climb to the top for older people.
not much time for a lay-in.
