We went in February and a lot of the Island's attractions weren't open yet but we found everyone really friendly and it was quite nice to be given the time of day which we may not have got in peak season. Can't say anything about the beach or the front as it was raining too hard and consistently to explore but we went to the museum in Ryde and to Dimbola house, both of which were worthwhile and it was nice driving around on nearly empty roads.

Love it, been many many times, well over 20. shame to see...
Love it, been many many times, well over 20. shame to see so many places shutting down but that is sign of the times. Some wonderful shops. A beautiful beach. The best place we ate was in Shanklin though along the seafront. Had the boat wheel think it was called steamer or something it was awesome. Not happy you have to pay for parking at night-time now. Very friendly people everywhere you go. Isle of wight is Awesome. The ferry cost a fortune for such a short trip across, makes you want to travel in the middle of the night . We stayed at the Broadway Inn this time was very impressed. Really close to the beach. Love the tesco in Ryde. Found an amazing carvery on the journey there. Its a pub near the premier convenience store, the purple one. Forgotten its name. Anyway cant wait for next year.

Sandown has its own pier with traditional seaside activities...
Sandown has its own pier with traditional seaside activities and the beach. We particularly enjoyed Dinosaur Isle to see fossils and how life has been pre-human on the island. The National Poo Museum is small but good fun and interesting for all the ages.
Brading is a 5-10mins bus ride away to see the well preserved Roman Villa and there is a vinyard not far from their either :D Walking to Shanklin along the coast path is lovely for a really traditional British Seaside scene. We'd advise against walking on to Ventnor as the path is rugged and there is very little to see, with cliff path diversions it took us 4hrs and we defo bused it back.
We enjoyed food at The Reef, Flanigan's and Kate's Cafe.
We moved to Cowes for visiting Carisbrooke Castle and Osbourne House as they would each be about 1.5hrs from Sandown by bus, but if you had a car I'd stay based here.

Quiet town with good transport links to Ryde and Newport via bus or train. There is a caravan site near the Tesco supermarket. The beach is un spoilt. Parking is on the beach front at a good rate. Lots of benches to sit down and enjoy the cliffside views.

People were very friendly.
People were very friendly. I did not feel unsafe at any time. The newer hotels do quite well along the promenade. Any efforts to tear down the old hotels should be encouraged, those derelict hotels give Sandown an image of being an old undesired relic.

Sandown is a lovely place to stay. Beach was lovely.
Sandown is a lovely place to stay. Beach was lovely. Unfortunately the weather was not our friend for a while but that didn't bother us. The pier in Sandown has all you need on a rainy day. Lovely little shops with very friendly people and little homely cafe's. Lovely place. Easy to get around to other places,either driving by bus(regular services to other places of interest) or walking along coastal paths.
I liked the location of the property in relation to where I was working. The free parking was also a bonus meaning that I could walk to where I was working. The proprietors were helpful in that they swapped the room I had been allocated on the first floor to one on the ground floor as I have a disability that makes stairs difficult with heavy suitcases. This was because my booking suggested that my room would be on the ground whereas initially it was not.
Very relaxing few days at Chalet Driftwood, the accommodation is immaculate and tastefully decorated. It is compact but very comfortable and the decking area was perfect to enjoy the sun - our dog loved it! Great location, 2 minutes walk to the beach which was stunning and a 20 minute walk to the lovely pub up the hill. Easy access to Sandown. The holiday park is very quiet which is just what we wanted and a great base to enjoy the Isle of Wight.
Booked very last minute for impromptu weekend away. Good location right on the beach. The room was a reasonable size and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Sandown itself is very sad and faded, with lots of decaying, burnt out hotels; however, we did manage to find two lovely places for supper (The Bandstand) and breakfast (Fins) within east walking distance of the hotel.
Very nice location, 10 minute walk to Sandown Pier and seafront, but in a really quiet and secluded spot.
Very comfortable traditional style hotel, had a nice little bar with food but we didn’t have the chance to try it out. Very pet friendly and gave us Room 1 , ground floor and next to the main door, which was perfect.
The hotel is showing its age and yet keeps a little regal charm about it. As you walk through the doors you get a sense of what it must have been like in its hey-day, the same kind of feeling you get when you visit your grandparents.
It was dated yes. But it was clean, functional and perfectly presentable.
The location is exceptional, very close to Sandown Pier and the city centre, a quiet place to stay over with kids. Beautiful garden and green outside the hotel. Nice and clean room with really comfortable beds, private bathroom, TV and wardrobe. Very friendly and polite receptionists. Highly recommended!!!
Emma, Gordon and Michael, are perfect hosts, warm and welcoming. The hotel is clean, bright and modern, and the breakfasts are amazing. We didn't want to leave. This was our best short break ever, and we highly recommend the Bell Lodge Hotel to anyone planning a stay in Sandown
The Breakfast was excellent. There was so much choice and everything we ordered was perfect and delivered with good humour and a smile. The location was also ideal as it was close to the beach and the High Street. The atmosphere in the hotel was relaxed friendly and comfortable
We had a lovely cozy room. There were everything that we needed: a kettle, cups, tea, towels, shampoo, etc. They also had a microwave and a fridge in the dining area. The hosts were super friendly. We recommend this hotel to everyone who wants to have a nice vacation in Sandown.
Lovely cottage! Really clean and well maintained with lots of amenities suitable for families on longer stays. Temperature of entire house can be adjusted to your preference. Safe and friendly neighbourhood. Short walk to Sandown beach, bus stops, takeout restaurants.
The property was well equiped, clean and spacious. It is in an excellent location - close to the shops, beach and very near to several bus routes but at the same time it was quite quiet. The host made it clear they were available if we ran in to any difficulties.
The hotel was very nice, the staff were very friendly and the best thing was they clean your room daily compared to other hotels.
The bathroom was very good and some rooms have showers and some have bath with shower.
The hotel has lots of history to it.
Room was very clean. Good choice of breakfast, cooked to order. Plenty of off road parking. Very friendly owners, always willing to give you helpful advice. Ten minute walk to town and seafront. If visiting Sandown again would rebook at this hotel.
The location is great. The hotel looks very modern and cute. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was great. Everything looked very clean. The room was spacious and they even had netflix available. I would stay again.
Everything, we go to the Sandringham Hotel each year and have never had any complaints, everything is as expected, rooms clean and very comfortable, staff polite and helpful and food very good. No complaints to make, more than happy.
Thank you to Abbie the manager of the hotel who couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating to us. They were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning to this hotel
I can’t think of anything positive to say about this hotel. Really disappointed as we were looking forward to a lovely weekend and our first ever visit to the Isle of Wight.
Apartment was lovely, exactly what we needed as a base to visit the IoW and friends on the island.. Rooms were clean and well furnished.Hot tub was lush !
