The Yelfs Hotel, Ryde

A small hotel, which feels like a err..., small hotel. That indefinable corporate, inoffensive, boring feel. It has quite a large lounge extending round the central bar with a conservatory and patio to the rear. Two handpumps claimed Ale of Wight and Wight Gold but sadly both were off, which left a Theakston's keg - cold, gassy and very pricey. I recollect this was a haven for a decent pint many years ago. No longer.

a comfy place to chill out - except for fridays nights where the locals all drink and swear very loudly! Other than that, the food is brilliant and the staff are pleasant.

Has a small comfortable bar which usually sells a couple of real ales.Outside drinking area.
