The Sandhill

Booked the day before friendly welcome great location the room adequate the hosts very friendly and great breakfast what more can you ask for

Wendy, Dave and Andy are excellent hosts. A family friendly hotel. I took my family consisting of one adult and 4 young children ranging from 13 to 2 years old. A good range of breakfast items cereal, toast, fried breakfast and juices too. Room was lovely and beds comfortable no complaints from myself or my children. Wish we could stay longer. But have to go home to reality. Thanks for having us all. See you next time.

Quiet location within a 10 minute walk to the pier. Clean, comfortable rooms with friendly staff and a good breakfast included - Thanks for a lovely stay guys!

We have just returned from yet another stay here, over the August Bank Holiday. From the moment we arrived Andy & Dave were the hosts with the most. Nothing was ever an issue or too much hassle for them. They were chatty (without being pushy or invasive), they had an excellent knowledge of what was on, where and when. They would happily recommend places to see, eat and drink. They would help with directions to bus stops, stations and maps for those driving around the Island. All areas/rooms etc in the hotel are clean and they will happily supply extra towels or other items that are needed (or need changing). The hotel has a mix of singles, doubles, twins and family rooms. Breakfast is served and prepared by the wonderful Wendy, who equally is as friendly and helpful. I’ve seen other reviews criticising the portions at breakfast. The breakfast is lovely and local produce is sourced, so they don’t want waste! If you want a sausage then ask for a sausage and if want 4 then ask for 4, you get whatever you ask for. Only breakfast is served here but if you need to or want to, stay in at the evening then takeaway menus, cutlery and crockery will be supplied for you. If you’re lucky then sometimes Wendy hand makes gorgeous hot Cheese Scones and an amazing Quiche. If there is no one around at all, then just ring the various bells scattered around the ground floor. They are happy to return to the reception desk for any issues or questions and also the bar/sun lounge area, for any type of drinks, hot, cold, alcoholic or soft. The hotel is perfectly placed for public transport, is only a 5 min walk to the beach, pier, promenade, bars and restaurants. There is also on-site car parking, plus extra free street parking, we never struggled to get parked up. To me, the question that proves how good a place is, is “would you stay there again?” And yes we certainly would, in fact we are already booked back into The Sandhill for the third time, to explore some more of the Island in 2023

Great friendly staff. Great breakfast. Comfortable bed. Very clean rooms. Great location only a short walk from the beach. A great location to travel around the island . Parking facilities are free. A nice friendly bar is open daily. Very good value.

What a wonderful warm welcome we received from Dave, Andy and lovely Wendy at the family run Sandhill Guesthouse. Our superior king room with en-suite bath and shower was spotlessly clean with the added advantage of an amazing view of the island. We were given a daily breakfast choice sheet which we completed daily. The full English consisting of sausage - pork or vegetarian, bacon, black pudding, egg - fried or scrambled - beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, hash brown with toast - white or healthy - Lol, brown! There was also a lovely selection of cereals, yogurts, fruit juices, tea and coffee too. We chose our options the night before and they were cooked freshly the next morning at the time you had chosen to eat. The breakfasts were outstanding! There was also a licensed bar to enjoy an evening drink. They also welcomed you to order food in if you didn’t fancy eating out or had had a long day and provided plates and cutlery. Basically, nothing is too much trouble! We can honestly say that our week spent here was made more enjoyable by our hosts. There is a little sign above the reception desk which reads, ‘Enter as strangers, leave as friends.’ We certainly feel we have! Thank you Wendy, Dave and Andy. We will return x

The bed was very comfy. The staff were lovely. Breakfast was good, cereal, cooked breakfast, toast etc., The bar area was very nice with a conservatory. Very close to bus stops round the corner Melville Road (for 2,3,& 8) Sandown train station & local amenities.

Sandhill Hotel was a nice experience for us, lovely breakfast, friendly staff and in a great location just a short walk to the beach. Would definitely recommend.

Safe and clean
