Excellent pub if you want food with your drink. If you do just want a drink I would have to agree with comments of others that space is limited as the pub
is obviously very popular for food and for good reason. We visited twice (22/7/2006 and 27/7/200) and both times beer, food and service was excellent. Will definitely return on our next trip to island.

Visited this pub about 3 years ago and thought it was a gem. Returned last week and what a disapointment. Pub had been extended and has lost all its charm; now looks and feels like any other chain pub. Agree with comments about the back room; all the atmosphere of a a works canteen. Walked straight back out again. One to miss unless you like chain pubs

The Colwell Bay Inn, Freshwater
Below average pub, intertior and rear beer garden in need of face lift.
Would not class staff as friendly as others have done in earlier reviews; all a little grumpy and flustered on day of our visit which was on a Sunday night when pub was quite.
Adventure playground was closed on day of our visit. Just a bouncy castle for kids.
Many tables left uncleared for long periods both inside and out
As for food, I cant comment as we cancelled our order and left after waiting for over 55 mins for ours to arrive. We were not the only ones complaining about the delays that night either. Much better pubs in area.

The Waterfront Bar, Totland Bay
Great views from outside beer garden but beer choice very disapointing. Food choice limited but above average in quality even if a little on expensive side. All staff need to learn to smile occasionaly though. Will return but only for view on a summers evening which are the pubs main selling point.
