FRESHWATER BAY & The Albion Hotel TOUR - Isle of Wight Travel Vlog

[@jackryanmiller]

Welcome back my dears - as always if you could give the video a thumbs up (just above) it helps me out a great deal. Thanks in advance

Hi! KZbin isn't letting me leave a comment in the regular way, so I'm having to do a reply instead!? I see why you love the I.O.W ! This looks like a peaceful part of the island , that hotel room was something, bit expensive though. I don't know the I.O.W so it's good to see these videos! Thanks for the tour! 👍🙏

[@jackryanmiller]

@@sandrafrancis3631 thanks Sandra sorry I missed this yesterday! Glad you enjoyed, my upcoming video will be from another town on the Isle of Wight too 😄

It is what it says on the tin, "fresh water", views look gorgeous. Excellent vlog as always my friend!

[@jackryanmiller]

Thank you very much as always sir 😄

We were privileged to stay at The Albion the week it opened after an extensive (and very expensive) refurbishment, which was done to a very high and tastefully standard. Service was first class by a friendly and efficient team.

[@jackryanmiller]

That’s great to hear John

The new walk with me tim. Calm and loves a beer! I’ve subscribed

[@jackryanmiller]

Ah thanks so much mate, really appreciate it

Nice to see, thanks for doing it. The Albion Hotel was where I started my catering career. Started in mid 70s as a 13 yr old, working evenings and weekends & School Holidays, stayed for four yrs, working full time when I left school. Did a variety of jobs, stocking up the bar, cleaning the toilets, peeling onions, skinning fish, sweeping the balconies, cutting the grass, etc, etc! Gave me a good grounding in my work ethics, worked the other side of the world as a chef then ending my full time career as a Catering Manager in Winchester for 20 years. Done a full circle now, as I am semi retired cutting peoples lawns.

[@jackryanmiller]

Thanks so much for the comment Tim, amazing to hear about your memories from working there, and I bet it was a whole lot different in the 70s

[@sandrafrancis3631]

Now it's letting me leave a comment!! Great video! Beautiful part of the l.O.W. looking forward to seeing more videos! Keep up the good work! 👍 🙏

[@jackryanmiller]

Thanks so much Sandra, it really is one of my favourite places on the island 🤩

[@geoffreyharris5321]

Great video more of the isle of Wight please

[@jackryanmiller]

Thanks a lot, my next video is another Isle of Wight one 👍

[@Yodaspirit45]

@@jackryanmiller The sea looks remarkably clean there unlike on the southern mainland

[@jackryanmiller]

@@Yodaspirit45 yeh that is true, not a sewage dump in sight 😂

[@Yodaspirit45]

@@jackryanmiller Yep 😁👍 how it should be it’s not asking for much

[@mehitabel1290]

Thankyou. I spent a lot of my childhood in Freshwater (sorry, Freshwa'er) Bay.. It's nice to see these images of the Bay and Afton (sorry, Af'n) Down...

[@jackryanmiller]

Thanks very much😄 it was the same with my parents they used to always come here, then always brought me here as a child and I still come back

[@redcoatryan3079]

Oh wow! That is such a lovely view, don't think I have ever been to that part on the Isle Of Wight.

[@jackryanmiller]

Oh yeh I always used to come here as a kid but it’s always been the ‘quieter’ bit of the island 😁

[@brianthomas1353]

We are just back from the Albion, having stayed in the exact same room for two nights . Highly recommended this hotel.

[@jackryanmiller]

Thanks Brian I’m glad you had a good time! Could spend all day on that terrace

[@LeeJohn70]

Good evening Jack great video. I use to visit the Albion Hotel frequently, always been a great location. The new Hotel is a bit pricey for IW standards. Look forward to your next video 👍😁😎

[@jackryanmiller]

Ah thanks Lee, I remember when I came here as a kid there was The Mermaid there as well. Next video (hopefully next Sunday) will be an IOW one too 😄

[@LeeJohn70]

@@jackryanmiller I look forward to seeing your next adventure. Have a great week 👍😁😎

[@rickyoswald]

You're in Adder country :) I saw a black Adder a few years ago on the Tennyson Trail.

[@jackryanmiller]

Adders, that was it! I remember seeing a sign about it years ago. That’s so cool

[@MusicONplaces]

that's great! I spent one week there and I made a video about Cowes and linked with the roots of the English band of Level 42

[@jackryanmiller]

Love it I’ll check it out 😊
