Top Isle of Wight Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Wight

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel . A little dated but adds to the charm . Good breakfast and lots of parking. Very short walk to the seafront."

Trouville Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Reached expectations—but more information about car parking options needed."

Sandhill

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely three night stay at Sandhill with a nice comfy room which was very clean and with all essential amenities. Host Dave was very friendly and helpful and served excellent breakfasts. Good base for visiting lots of nearby island places. A nice unusual touch was they permit one to order/bring back an evening take-away meal to eat in their breakfast room. We would be very happy to stay here when next on the island!"

"."

Colonels Rest

10/10 Excellent

"The 3 storey town house enjoyed a superb location 100 yards from Sandown beach . Off road parking to rear , additional space on the development . The layout of the property provided several balconies to sit out and enjoy views over the sea . Great kitchen for cooking , TVs in most rooms , several flights of stairs so not suitable for those who would struggle . We slept with the sounds of waves breaking on the beach at night which was amazing . Some feed back about the town house complained about the balcony modest screens being opaque and spoiling the view ! We found them a perfect height as tour buses go past on the road outside , the screens provide some privacy plus obvious safety . If you have cycles ! The garage is secure storage . Opposite on the beach is a funky bar and grill ! Doesn’t stay open late in the evening so it’s great for a drink and meal . Plenty of Restaurants and bars a short walk into the town along the beach front . Pitch and Putt also along the front in walking distance . A great time for us and our friends, we will definitely come back to the Island for longer next visit . It was a really good experience and can’t think of anything that could be improved upon ."
