Hotels on the Isle of Wight
Most of the hotels are based in one of the two most popular holiday resorts on the Isle of Wight are Sandown and Shanklin.
Sandown is famous for its wonderful beaches with over 5 miles to explore and awarded with the Blue Flag for cleanliness. When in Sandown you should visit the Pier as there are a variety of amusements to keep the whole family entertained including a funfair. If you happen to be staying in either Shanklin or Sandown, you can get to the other quite easily with a casual stroll along the beach – weather permitting. Sandown Isle of Wight is home to the highest collection of dinosaur fossils compared to anywhere else in the world which is why it has been referred to as 'Dinosaur Island'.
Shanklin is another one of those traditional seaside resorts but if you tear yourself away from the stunning coastline, you will come across the tiny Old Village filled with quaint thatched cottages, many housing traditional tea rooms or souvenir shops. Rylstone Gardens provide a beautiful spot to sit back and watch the world go by or you can take in the entertainment provided on the Bandstand. Shanklin Chine should also be visited, a gorge that contains a variety of rare plants and a beautiful waterfall. The Shanklin Esplanade is the perfect place to keep the whole family entertained with its array of seaside games, amusements and cafes.
