It’s a little bit quirky, relaxing atmosphere, beautifully decorated

Nothing really. You'd have to expect a lot for your money to be anything other than completely satisfied. The hotel is clean, quiet and friendly. What more could you want?

We loved this quirky little hotel. Rob and Carol are warm, friendly, lovely people, the breakfast was excellent and the facilities superb given the price we paid. We'll be going back for sure. Location is perfect and only a short walk from the seafront / food / wine. The hotel is situated in a residential area that's quiet, safe and comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The hotel is so charming, and the proprietors were welcoming and sincere. They were able to accommodate us for breakfast despite us not pre-booking it, and it was one of the best B&B breakfasts I've ever had.

Nicely furnished relaxed friendly hosts.

A lovely little hotel run by a very hospitable couple. First evening we had their Spanish tapas dishes sitting outside to keep life easy what a great choice! Tasty great way to start our weekend.

Only a slight niggle but my room was initially a bit cold as the temperature had dropped since the August heatwave this year. However this was rectified immediately with the hosts giving me a fan heater to warm the room up when needed. Also for some reason the TV in my room had just a few BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 HD channels plus a few others (11 in all) and I don’t know whether somebody had previously altered the number of Freeview channels on the TV so that there were just a limited number of channels available to view. I didn’t mention this to the hosts because I thought it might require them to radically change the channel setup on the TV which wasn’t majorly important as things stood.

The hosts Carol and Rob were excellent and were very proactive with any small problems that arose during our stay. The breakfasts were delicious and I felt Carol and Rob always went that extra mile to be helpful during the holiday including very kindly picking us up from the station when we arrived and dropping us off back at the station at the end of our holiday.

We didn't know to pre-book breakfast as this wasn't mentioned at check in, we read it in the room guide when we got home from the local pub at 11pm! We got breakfast out so it wasn't an issue, and made sure to pre-book for the other two mornings.

We stayed for 3 nights over the Jubilee bank holiday weekend which coincided with our wedding anniversary. The hotel has a unique style and Carol and Rob have made a bespoke place to stay – no blandness of basic white linen here. Would go as far to say it’s the best hotel in Sandown. The rooms are all currently on the first floor and ours had a kettle and water cooler plus mini fridge. I understand some ground floor rooms are planned. Tea, coffee, hot choc and biscuits are available on the landing so you can top up when necessary. Carol and Rob were very helpful with recommendations of places to eat and visit all over the island. We only ate breakfast twice at the hotel as didn’t realise we needed to pre-book the night before, and settle up on leaving (it’s a room-only rate with breakfast as extra). This wasn’t an issue for us but might be for others who expect a breakfast. The hotel offers tapas in the bar area of an evening, again, pre-booking required. We didn’t partake as ate whilst out and about, but it looked and smelt great. It’s a brave thing to take on the challenge of running a business like this and the timing for Carol and Rob has been challenging, but I admire their tenacity and vision and wish them every success.

The sink in the room was not in the en-suite. Shower and toilet that was the en-suite was very tiny.

Good breakfast but limited choice. Light airy room, very comfortable bed. Friendly staff/owner.

Everything worked well and in a newly post lockdown environment was great despite the difficulties of this brought.

The owners Rob and Carol are the gems in this hotel. The evening bar and tapas a place where quests and people gather in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Place was spotless and renovations and upgrades adding to the ambiance and comfort of the guests.
