Built in 1941, Xoron Floatel was formerly a gun boat which served for the Royal Navy’s coastal defence forces. Now transformed into a home on the water, it features free Wi-Fi, an upper viewing lounge with sea views and a breakfast area overlooking Bembridge Harbour.
The Xoron offers full central heating and hot and cold running water in all cabins, which are also en suite. Many mementos of WW2 can be found in a nautical display room on the lower deck, such as models and uniforms. Guests can also relax in the lounge which includes a TV.
A full English breakfast is served, as well as vegetarian options, and many restaurants and pubs are situated in the nearby villages of Bembridge and St Helens.
Award-winning beaches can be reached within a 5-minute drive as well as a selection of scenic walks, pubs and shops. Windsurfing, hiking and horse riding can be enjoyed in the local area and fishing is also possible from the comfort of the boat.

I enjoyed the quirkiness of being on a world war II boat, being at the waters edge, the quietness and peacefulness of the location in Bembridge harbour. The location was in easy access to the varied attractions of the Isle of wight. Felt very at home the moment I stepped on board. very good cooked breakfast. paul and wendy lovely hosts.
Wendy and Paul were very welcoming. The rooms were clean and comfortable with fresh towels daily. It was a lovely location and the outlook was really nice. Good pub in walking distance too!. kaikki arvostelut »

Friendly,homely atmosphere.
Not being able to stay longer.
It wasn't very quiet being near the road and plumbing was a bit noisy.
Nothing to add here.
Can't think of anything. If you are taller than six foot then get ready to duck! We aren't so it was no problem. We would stay again.
