"the best afternoon on the isle of wight is and is still! we came and were quickly seen to our table, all booked for our family including grandparents and our 3 years old. all very happy and welcoming as soon as we thought, I loved the red rope to keep us almost like a red carpet on the door. the rooms are all beautifully furnished with old teekanistern, courts etc. not a dust in itself, so there is much love for the device! we all had the “Victoria afternoon tea”... wow every animal was faultless! the sandwiches were all beautiful and fresh! by no means on the quality of the ingredients! the victoria sponge cake was the best, yes the best! I have ever tasted! so light and tasty! the tee is a speciality for the tee room in it own tee bag (not shop here bought and they can cut the difference in the fresh tee they choose beautiful! Finally the scones served warm, perfect even, easy to cut through, optional butter and beautiful cream and jam. What can they ask for more? was the perfect afternoon tea room with the perfect cup of tea! I will certainly be back and will recommend to everyone, families, couples or other small groups to go there! I would recommend before booking. after our afternoon (and a fast looting place we visited the fairytale garden! so beautiful to see and so much love and carefree has gone into her! Our 3yr old daughter loved it! so a beautiful magical touch."

"had a nice lunch on a day trip to the island. the three buoys is just 15 minutes to walk from the hover harbour in a beautiful location with views of the appley beach. the service was perfectly very friendly and efficient. eating was excellent and the menu was varied with interesting elements on a solid basis. the beer squirted fish and chips was delicious with the best I ever tasted, mixed with spinach and a cat filled tartar sauce. perhaps too many cats for those who are not fans of cats, but still delicious. the fish was beautiful and the teig was delicious and not heavy or greasy. I had the seabarschfilets with a red pfeffer pesto, sweethorn velouté, coconut jelly, carburized pak choi, black sesame and red chili. there were also some unannounced spring onions and criminals that complemented the court nicely. the coconut jelly cubes lacked in the coconut flavor and the cut red chili was a little too much for my taste. it contrasted too strongly against the brighter red pfeffer pesto and sweethorn velouté according to my opinion, but it was no effort to separate the few discs from the court. the seabarschfilets were cooked for perfection and packed with taste from the pan. moistened and tastefully with a firm skin, just as it should be. also the grilled pak choi were excellent and both that and the fish were the stars of the show. we had some extraordinary moules marinière as starter. they were not on the menu, but we were accommodated when we asked for them. the mushes were fresh and juicy, only cooked long enough. too many places serve overcooked mush, but this is not one of them. the sauce was plentiful and ridiculously tasty when used a little too much cream (for anyone who observes their waist). this was accompanied by the best garlic bread I cost. the part was also very generous for a starter. I had a local ale to accompany my soul bass, which went very well together. there was so much taste in the fish and pak choi that a bright white wine to blande in comparison I fear so that I was happy with my choice. I had hoped a little more seafood on the menu when I first saw it when I was in the mood for a seafood plate or similar. if I had seen the menu before, I might have gone somewhere and I would have missed on one of the best meals I had in some time. It shows that a good restaurant can take a somewhat regular dish and make it an unforgettable one. I wish I didn't drive this day later, because their gin and tonic and wein selection were very seductive. I'll be sure to come back next time with an overnight stay. at £ 21 per head this was exceptionally good. I love that the service has not been included yet suggested and I hope that the employees do well on tips because they deserve it absolutely. I can't recommend the three buoys enough and remember the meal lively as I write these days later."
