Sandown is a favourite place to stay not least because of the easy access to our beach, bars and restaurants. The cliff top walks from Sandown to our sister town of Shanklin are superb at any time of year. If you are travelling by foot, Sandown train station is a 10 minute walk and the bus stops just outside The Bell Lodge. On our doorstep are a handful of excellent eateries, offering good food at very reasonable prices.
