The facilities are very good plenty to do if your spending time in the hotel
United KingdomFriendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Great location.
United KingdomFriendly welcoming staff. Superb breakfast and excellent personal service. Great team
United KingdomEverything 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.
KuwaitHuge choice of breakfast and very helpful, welcoming, friendly and polite staff.
United KingdomStaff could not do enough for you! Breakfast was not too big just right for me, entertainment was funny as!
United KingdomWe 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.
SingaporeStaff 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)

Host Info
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.
