They gave it a multi-million pound renovation in 2017 and it now regularly features in magazine articles as must-visit destination.

With 14 en-suite rooms, the luxury boutique hotel commands unrivalled views across the award-winning Sandown Bay, and boasts a swimming pool, grass tennis court and croquet lawn and has a helipad in the two-acre grounds, which have won awards for the Best Hotel Garden on the Isle of Wight.
