The Spotlight on The Boathouse

Relaxed Seaside Vibes Just Minutes from the Action

Charming and coastal, The Boathouse in Seaview offers a peaceful retreat right by the beach. Set next to Puckpool Park and Appley Beach, this stylish inn provides stunning panoramic views of the Solent, ideal for unwinding after a big show. With individually decorated rooms, modern comforts like flat-screen TVs and tea and coffee facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s a scenic base just a short drive from Ryde and ferry connections.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Boathouse is just a 9-minute drive from the Ryde Pier Head passenger ferry and 15 minutes from the Fishbourne car ferry, making it a convenient overnight option after a mainland gig or Isle of Wight festival. Guests appreciate the peaceful location for post-concert recovery, while the on-site bar and sun terrace are perfect for continuing the vibe into the evening. While there’s no 24-hour reception, check-in starts at 15:00 and the relaxed vibe makes late arrivals easy to manage with prior notice.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a scenic base with space to chill
- Solo travelers looking for a quiet place to recharge after a gig
- Couples making a weekend of live music and seaside walks
- Fans needing a calm space after a loud, late-night show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want value with a view

Food and Drink Options

The Boathouse features its own on-site restaurant and bar, serving up local dishes and drinks with a view. While there’s no room service, the bar stays open into the evening and the sun terrace is a great spot for a nightcap. Breakfast is available in the morning—ideal for a slow start after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about relaxed seaside vibes than buzzing nightlife, it's a short ride to Ryde where you’ll find pubs, bars, and live music spots. Back at the hotel, the bar serves up local ales and wines in a cozy, friendly setting.

What People Say

Guests consistently mention the beautiful views, friendly staff, and comfortable, individually decorated rooms. Many love the proximity to the beach and ferry, making it a great stopover before or after a concert. The quiet location gets high marks for those looking to unwind.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are upstairs and there’s no lift, so those with mobility concerns should request ahead. Some guests noted the Wi-Fi signal can be spotty in certain areas, but most were too busy enjoying the views to mind.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a peaceful, scenic place to recharge after a show, The Boathouse is a charming and convenient choice by the sea.
