A good old fashioned English hotel. Friendly. Breakfast brilliant. The only thing was the bed. Plastic noise and not very comfortable.

Loud creeky double bed
Although the bed was comfortable it was disappointing that you couldn't get in or out without loud creaking noises that disturbed your sleeping partner.

I wish i had booked this hotel to start with as stayed here before but they took my booking at very short notice and nothing was too much of an issue.
Quiet room which made for a peaceful sleep.

The room was small. The staff were all friendly and brilliant and did everything to make our stay as good as it could be. The only negative was the attitude of the owner who tried to belittle me because I said the bedroom was small, which it was.

Review of room and service
My wife and were more than happy with the cleanliness of our room, the staff at the hotel bent over backwards to help us as we both have to walk with sticks. The breakfast was amazing could not fault it. We will definitely return. Unfortunately we had to cut our holiday short by 1 day as my wife was taken ill, the reception took everything out of my hands and sorted out the car ferry for us brilliant.

Wholesome
Comfortable room. Friendly staff. Tasty breakfast. Pillows great!
Could do with daily top up of shower gel, the sachets are difficult to open and too small.

Fantastic value for money would recommend dtaying here. All the staff are wonderful from reception to bar to the excellent breakfast special thanks to Harvey. The hotel has good facilities and is walking distance to beach, bars and restaurants everything you need. Only thing I would change is beds we are used to king size and they are doubles and noisy! Will definitely return.

Made a great base for a few days walking in the Isle of Wight. Sandown allows walks north and south along the east side of the island.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only improvement we can recommend is a larger tv. We were in room 203.
