Good morning from The Royal Esplanade Hotel & Ryde Esplanade 👋🍂

There’s a little autumn breeze creeping in now, but we’re still enjoying plenty of beautiful sunny days — and long may they continue into October! ☀️🙏

We’re delighted to have two wonderful coach groups staying with us this week.

🏛️ Gibbons Coaches are heading off to Osborne House today — Queen Victoria’s former Island home, famous for its beautiful grounds, fascinating history and stunning Victorian architecture.

🚂 Middletons Tours are spending the day at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, stepping back in time along its beautifully preserved heritage railway.

We hope you all have a fantastic day exploring the Island.

Then it’s back to The Royal Esplanade this evening for a delicious three-course dinner, followed by live vocals from the very talented Alan Woods 🎶🍽️

Have a wonderful day everyone! 💙
