“The Wight Bay Hotel offers a solid, unfussy base in Sandown, close to the beach and pier, with parking, a definite plus. I particularly appreciate the large dining room and bar, offering ample space for groups to relax and enjoy the provided tea and coffee, and the very good full English breakfast gets the day off to a great start.”
