    We liked everything.

    Everything about our visit was exceptional. Hotel was in an ideal place walking distance to the beach. The hosts were amazing. Very friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent. The rooms were very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    Home away from home !..Kevin and Sara have been most warm and friendly welcoming us in their home. Great rooms, clean and equipped with everything that's needed for a holiday. Excellent breakfast, Kevin went out of the way to create an almost bespoke breakfast and his coffee was excellent! Location is also perfect for accessing the esplanade and the high street. Free parking. Great local advice from Kevin and Sara, try The Reef restaurant just a few minutes away ! We felt great and we will return, highly recommended place, book with confidence.

    All the usual conveniences of course but Kevin and Sara went that extra mile to provide a warm and relaxing experience. Casual but professional - a great place to stay in a central location in Sandown a few minutes from the sea.

    While our stay at Denewood Hotel in Sandown was overall enjoyable, there were a couple of areas that could be improved to make the experience even better. The bed in our room was a small double, which made it a bit challenging for us to stretch out and get fully comfortable. A larger bed would have made for a more relaxing sleep. The bathroom and shower, while functional, felt a little dated and could benefit from some updates. The water pressure in the shower was also on the lower side, which made it less refreshing than we would have liked. A few modern touches in the bathroom would certainly enhance the overall comfort. These aspects didn’t detract from our stay, but addressing them would definitely elevate the experience at Denewood Hotel.

    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!!
