Join us on a SIX day holiday to the beautiful Isle of Wight – staying on Sandown’s seafront
Day One
Departing South Wales we head to Portsmouth for our afternoon sailing over the Solent to Fishbourne on the Isle itself. From here it’s a short drive to the hotel for the week, the excellent seafront Trouville Hotel in Sandown.
Here you’ll enjoy a five night stay with a three course evening meal and breakfast included, along with entertainment most evenings. The Trouville Hotel offers a comfortable stay for all – with its seafront location and sea view hotel rooms* (except for single rooms) the hotel’s lounge and bars boast stunning views of Sandown Bay.
Sandown sits on the Southern coast of the Isle of Wight, sheltered in a beautiful bay, and is famed for its long stretches of golden sandy beach and the traditional British seafront and pier.
Hotel Accessibility: The hotel does not have any ground floor, or accessible rooms for guests with disabilities. However, they can accommodate guests who use a wheelchair or walker some of the time. There is ramp access to the Hotel via a side door that leads through the restaurant but this is quite steep. Wheelchairs/mobility scooters are not suitable for use in the lift, corridors and bedrooms so must remain in reception. The Hotel has a limited number of walk-in showers and these must be requested at the time of booking. Please note some rooms with walk-in showers are located through 4/5 fire doors, so are not near the lift. It is the guest’s responsibility to inform the Hotel of any persons in the party with mobility problems, so that the Hotel can allocate the most appropriate rooms. The Hotel does not accept responsibility for the evacuation of any guest in the event of an emergency. All guests should be able to evacuate the hotel unassisted.
