The Sandhill

Good
Traveller Type:
  : Good location, friendly and informative host, clean and comfortable room, no waiting around for breakfast, very reasonably priced bar.
  : Shower could have been hotter. Communal areas look a bit dated but the room was up to scratch.

Very Good

  : The Sandhills is conveniently located close to Sandown station. Good for those on foot and easy access by car with adequate off street parking. We received a very warm welcome on my wife's and my arrival and that bonhomie continued through our stay. Excellent breakfast, one of the best. Our good humoured hosts, Andy and David, looked after us very well, as did Andy's Mum who is also on the team. Being out of season, we were the only guests, but that didn't make any difference to the service we received and was probably a benefit. The owners live on site. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the town centre where there is a good choice of bus routes across the island if you are on foot. There is a multitude of restaurant choices in Sandown, so you won't go hungry! The Castle Inn on Fitzroy Street is a lovely welcoming traditional local community pub. Being traditional, they don't serve food, but you are welcome to bring in a take away. All in all this proved to be a most comfortable and relaxing vacation.
  : Nothing worthy of note.
