My wife and I had an excellent stay at St George's House in October 2021. Pearly and Mark are first class hosts and for breakfast provide a wide range of well-cooked hot food as well as a cold selection. The room we were in was lovely with a bay window and two extremely comfortable armchairs. If we return to the Isle of Wight we will stay at St George's again.

Pearly and Mark were absolutely wonderful hosts. From the moment we arrived with Pearly's delicious poppy seed cake, to the comfortable bed and the amazing breakfast options we absolutely loved our stay. On our final morning they really went above and beyond getting up early to make us breakfast before we caught the boat and I was especially thankful when they posted back my pillow which I managed to leave behind. I would not hesitate to recommend St George's House and would love to come back and stay again.

Perfect in every way! We stayed here as a family of 5; 2 x 80+ year olds, 2 x 50+ And 1x 16 year old. The hosts couldn't do enough for us and it was such a lovely stay. The breakfast was my favourite with ample choices from smoked salmon and scrambled eggs; bacon sandwiches; eggs, bacon and all the trimmings to homemade waffles. They are fantastic cooks and it was a delight to try their homemade frittata, tomatoes (done mark's special recipe and yogurts topped with fruits, seeds and honey.

Literally something for everyone! Unexpected little touches made this place so welcoming - an unexpected piece of cake (homemade of course) whilst playing cards in the evening; tea bags of every description in the rooms; a fan provided to keep my parents cool - nothing was too much trouble. The owners are so hardworking and dedicated to their guests. We loved the dinner sets (different ones on each table) and other pretty and quirky little touches. Would so recommend (and have done)!
