Why we love this property

Culinary options galore
Free full breakfast kicks off each day. British cuisine awaits at the restaurant, and two bars offer perfect spots for evening refreshment.
Water wonderland
Splash into the indoor pool as little ones enjoy the children's pool. After a fun day, unwind and soothe those muscles in the hot tub.

Very conveniently located, with plenty of parking. Staff very helpful. Shower room was quite small, with a big step into the shower,which may be a challenge for the less mobile.Couldn't get kettle under the tap to fill it up. Swimming pool was an added bonus, with jacuzzi, sauna & steam room. Breakfast very good. Decor bit dated, but everywhere clean.

Great stay

Just had a one night stay at The Wight, first impressions were very dated and tired. The staff there were amazing, so helpful and friendly and really made it for us. The girls used the pool and went down in the evening for table tennis. Comfy beds and clean kettle so winning!! Easy parking big plus.
