The facilities are very good plenty to do if your spending time in the hotel

John United Kingdom

Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Great location.

Julie United Kingdom

Friendly welcoming staff. Superb breakfast and excellent personal service. Great team

Peter United Kingdom

Everything from reception to the leaving. It is a perfect place to stay. A wonderful family hotel. The fact that they took care of our canine (our beloved leya) made our trip a memorable one. The pool was a brilliant one. Not to mention the jacuzzi. The steamer too was an excellent one. Furthermore they permitted us to park in the compound in case we needed it. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who visits the Isle.

Dr Kuwait

Huge choice of breakfast and very helpful, welcoming, friendly and polite staff.

Davina United Kingdom

Staff could not do enough for you! Breakfast was not too big just right for me, entertainment was funny as!

James United Kingdom

We had a great stay here. The room was a good size and comfy. The hotel was just a 2 minute walk to the beach and restaurants. They also have 10% off offers with a few restaurants. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Shobana Singapore

Staff were really good - especially the young breakfast team. Food good too. Swimming pool was clean and added bonus. Dogs were welcome at no extra charge . Really refreshing approach- thank you ( from 4 legged family member)

Maggib United Kingdom

Thanks! You'll receive an email as soon as the property answers your question.

  • Is there discount ferry prices?

    Briefly 'Yes' - but thereafter it gets a little more complicated! We can always beat booking direct with WightLink (from Lymington or Portsmouth) even if you book via an OTA, but fares depend on the days of the week and other factors. As a rough guide for up to the end of March, and presuming that a weekend is involved, the direct price with WightLink would be around £75.00 return, or through us if you book via an OTA around £69.00 or if direct with us around £62.00. A far better bargain would be from Southampton with Red Funnel (the little extra mileage on the mainland would be more than compensated by the saving of mileage on the island). Booking direct with them would again be around £75.00, but if through us after accommodation booked via an OTA we could offer around £58.00 whilst if a direct reservation around £50.00 should be available. Sorry that we cannot be more definite but without exact dates the foregoing is the best that we can do. Regards, John

Host Info

Host Review Score 9.1

Born in an hotel. Brought up in an hotel. Hotel college trained (2 years full time then 2 years part time) then ran and later owned hotels. Elected onto Bournemouth Council and became Chairman of Bournemouth Council Tourism Department for 10 years and for the last of those years was also Chairman of the British Resorts Association (57 towns throughout Great Britain). Having probably done enough damage to set tourism in Britain back by at least a decade, eventually regained my sanity and escaped from anything to do with committees and indeed Bournemouth! Moved to the Isle of Wight 13 years ago and promised myself never to get involved in running anything on the Island except for The Wight!

From the Wight Zoo (featuring the white tigers that were on TV) through the Dinosaur Museum (well this is Dinosaur Island which is why we offer our Jurassic Breakfasts!) to our traditional Sandown Pier - there's plenty to do just in the town. But then there is the addition of the whole island which gives a wealth of beautiful land and sea views, great heritage and enough to do that, as many client's find, to see it all needs many repeat visits.
