The Denewood, hotel in Sandown

Just a 4-minute walk from Sandown Beach and half a mile from Dinosaur Isle, The Denewood features accommodations in Sandown, with a terrace, a bar, and a shared lounge.

Our stay at Denewood Hotel in Sandown was nothing short of delightful. We were fortunate to have a lovely room on the ground floor, which was both cosy and tastefully decorated, making it feel like a home away from home. The attention to detail in the room’s design added a charming and comfortable ambiance that was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast, which was included in our booking. The hotel offers a great selection from their breakfast menu, catering to various tastes. I was particularly impressed with their flexibility in accommodating special requests. I prefer tinned peeled plum tomatoes over the usual grilled tomatoes, and they were happy to make that change for me. The breakfast itself was hearty and satisfying, setting us up perfectly for the day ahead. Prior to our arrival, Sara was wonderful to communicate with. She was easy to get hold of and happy to answer any questions we had, which made our check-in process smooth and stress-free. Upon arriving at the hotel, both Sara and Kevin were incredibly welcoming, immediately making us feel at home. Kevin, was an absolute pleasure to talk to. He was incredibly friendly and offered us fantastic tips on places to visit around the island, as well as insightful information that enriched our experience. His local knowledge really enhanced our trip, and his warm demeanor made us feel very welcome. Overall, our experience at Denewood Hotel was wonderful. From the cosy, well-decorated room to the delicious and accommodating breakfast, and the exceptional hospitality from Sara and Kevin, it was a stay to remember. I would highly recommend Denewood Hotel to anyone visiting Sandown - I will definitely be back!!

    This is a beautifully appointed guest house ,spotlessly clean and with very welcoming and obliging hosts. The breakfast was superb with an excellent variety on offer and expertly cooked and presented. I struggle to find any negatives although the en-suite was a bit tight for room but it was fully fitted and there were luxurious towels and toiletries. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

    Great location for a stroll to Cowes main street and Esplanade, direct access to park with no need to go through guest house. Fab hosts and amazing breakfast. Room was big enough with all you could need, even Netflix set up ready to use as a guest. Even got to meet badgers in the garden in the night!
