A long overdue thank you for our weekend just before Christmas!
My daughter and I had a wonderful time thanks to your lovely house, superb food and unique welcome.
I take my children away for a special weekend every year and have had many enjoyable experiences over the years, but Bonchurch Manor holds a very special place in our affections. Like all best memories, our weekend with you has achieved a dreamlike status. The stark winter landscapes, the unforgettable Tiffin Room and my daughter helping with the Christmas decorations will remain with us for a long, long time.
Thanks again and all the best for 2005.

My family and I, by unanimous agreement, have just had one of our best holidays in years - and we are a fairly well travelled crew. Our stay at Bonchurch Manor was a joy from start to finish. See this letter from Prof. Frew.

Thank you again. We enjoyed our brief stay which was a very peaceful way to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Regarding the birds, the highlights were Honey Buzzards at St Catherine's Point and Brook Bay, both Great Northern and Black Throated Divers on the walk from Whale Chine to Brook Bay and a pair of Black Tailed Godwits and a Little Egret on the saltings behind Yarmouth. The Barn Owls heard from the Hotel on Wednesday night would probably be breeding locally. St Catherines Point in particular is a good location to observe spring and autumn migration because of its position sticking out into the English Channel.

I am writing to thank you for your friendly hospitality and welcome to Bonchurch Manor Hotel. I had stayed in unacceptable accommodation in Ventnor and moved to yourselves feeling disappointed with my vacation. Within moments of walking through the door I felt content. You were so friendly and offered lovely accommodation. I am not easily pleased - but my wife and I were exceedingly pleased by our stay at Bonchurch Manor. You food is delightful. While I did not use the facility, I will certainly make use of your broadband facility in future. Thank you for a lovely friendly place to stay.

Bonchurch post box - for the wish you were postcards
We just wanted to let you both know that we had a great stay at Bonchurch Manor and it made our 6 year anniversary a very special event. We are both lovers of the island and as it was where we first met it holds very fond memories. It was lovely to add more to those memories this time round and we will whole heartily recommend you to all our family & friends.
