The Fishbourne
About
The Fishbourne Inn is a charming seaside pub and inn located on Fishbourne Lane, just a short walk from the Wightlink ferry terminal that links Ryde with Portsmouth. With its timber‑frame façade and comfortable, modern en‑suite rooms, the Inn caters to both families and couples in search of a relaxed, atmospheric stay. The open‑air terrace offers sweeping views across the Solent and a perfect backdrop for watching sailboats and cruise ships pass by, while the cosy interior hosts live music evenings and festive celebrations. Guests consistently praise the friendly, attentive staff, generous portions of classic pub fare, and the warm nautical ambiance, all of which have earned the Inn the AA Silver Dining Award (2011–2024). Free off‑street parking and a welcoming lobby make it a convenient stop for travelers heading to or from the Isle of Wight. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a hearty breakfast, a pint with live music, or a night’s stay in one of the five well‑furnished rooms, The Fishbourne Inn offers a memorable experience with excellent food, welcoming atmosphere, and easy access to the island’s attractions.
