Beach Hotels in Isle of Wight, United Kingdom

We booked a short break to IOW, meeting family there and so chose Yelfs as it was close to the ferry and looked a good base for exploring. There is some limited parking at the hotel but it is awkward and a trip through some dingy dirty passageways, not ideal. We booked in, polite pleasant lady at reception and got key to our room, first floor above the reception overlooking the street. Wow, this is a very tired run down hotel. Threadbear carpets made trip hazzards on stairs and hallways. Very dirty room. Everything broken, dirty and impractical. No bedside sockets. Broken mismatched lamps, dirty stained side tables, awful stained carpets. Filthy kettle, full of rust and the element almost worn through. Tiny old TV that refused to turn on for the first 10 mins of trying. Large front windows, single glazed, frames rotton and running with damp Bathroom passable but tiny, featureless, cold and dirty. We were supossed to be there for three nights and may have stuck it out as a base, except for the horrors of night 1. After a 5 hour journey we got to bed about 10pm. We may as well have been lying on the pavement outside. This popular town was full of drunks and as various establishments emptied out, we were treated to wave after wave of screaming, shouting, fighting, swearing with nothing but 2mm of glass seperating us from the row. The road noise from traffic rattled us in our bed, coaches, vans cars and lorries without a break for hours. We lay awake tortured till well after 3am but even then, sporadic shouts and vehicles stopped any meaningfull sleep and then deliveries started about 5.30 and we were up. The following day we just had to check out. The guy on the desk was appologetic and accepted our complaint. A full refund has been given and we are grateful for that. I have zero complaints about the hard working staff. We booked in at Premier in Sandown seafront which was great for the last 2 nights and actually cheaper than Yelfs

The owner is very nice and the food is delicious, the hot water is very comfortable, in a location close to the beach!

A last-minute getaway for my birthday and it didn't disappoint. A friendly and helpful welcome from Laina and Dennis awaits you. The rooms are immaculate, the bed is comfy, and we were lucky enough to have a bay room that looks right out over, well, the bay. The breakfast is excellent, tasty, well cooked, a good variety (including fried bread!!), and it really sets you up for a day of exploring. Our only downside is that we only got to stay two nights and wish it could be longer. We will certainly be returning and look forward to staying for longer next time. Thank you to all the team, Darren and Gill.

Medehamstede Hotel,we knew it was not the best,but it was very clean, and had good hard working pleasant staff.Great food with large portions and variety.Rooms were a bit dated and the p.v.c. windows were badly finished.The bathrooms were new with a good shower. Entertainment was good but only for two of our 4 nights.Girls were not happy with no bingo,every night we were there.Barman was quick and polite,but prices were on the dear side.We will go there again.

The staff at Luccombe Hall were brilliant, from booking to check out. They were friendly and helpful, happy to share information about what to do on the island, and took the hassle out of arranging our ferry - even getting us onto a later crossing when we decided to stay a little longer. The hotel itself was in such a beautiful setting. The view is incredible and the sun shone throughout our stay, so we made use of the gardens to drink our coffee in the morning and the outdoor pool in the afternoons. Included in our stay was access to the nearby Shanklin Chine, which gave a pretty and easy (despite the steps) route down to the beach. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the decor was good. The TV had options to connect streaming platforms, which was useful. It might have been nice to have a fridge and safe in the room. Breakfast was great, with a selection of cereals, pastries and fruit, as well as cooked breakfasts. The Eggs Benedict was particularly tasty. Dinner was good, though felt a little pricey for what it was. Evening coffee was from a machine and sadly wasn't up to much. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and would thoroughly recommend.

The Manor Country House Hotel is a well-managed house with excellent service. Breakfast was very rich and always included fresh fruits like peanuts, peanuts, hives , to mention just a few. The dinner - also varied again - was taken in the neighbouring hotel, but it was not a problem. The location at the park with a free sea view is another plus.
