Getting here
We are physically disconnected from the mainland by a beautiful and vital stretch of water called The Solent, but don’t worry, getting to us is easy and we can sort it for you.
Return foot passenger and car ferry tickets available as a booking add-on at heavily discounted rates. Did you know that the world’s only commercial hovercraft service operates between Southsea and Ryde on the island – why not leave the car at home and experience the flight yourself.
The art of sleep
We believe that a good night’s sleep is the key to a great day, so recharge in a room that helps you relax and unwind, providing the perfect en-suite environment for restful slumber.
Featuring comfortable high-quality beds with plush pillows and soft linens that gently embrace you after a busy day, and in-room amenities you’d come to expect from a high quality hotel, with great value prices all year round.
Time to unwind
Whether you’re here for business, a weekend getaway, or to explore the beauty of our island, we provide the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and great value.
The bar is open daily serving tasty and refreshing drinks, tea and barista-style coffees; a pool table to challenge your friends or colleagues, or a quiet space to get some work done with fast free unlimited wifi.
The Isle of Wight
Just off the south coast of England, the Isle of Wight feels a world away with golden beaches, dramatic chalk cliffs and picturesque scenery as well as rolling countryside and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it’s the perfect place to slow down and breathe.
Just 26 miles side to side explore charming seaside towns, visit the iconic Needles or cycle and walk peaceful coastal paths with views that stretch across the horizon. Music lovers flock to us annually for the popular Isle of Wight Festival – we’re the closest hotel to the festival entrance.
History lovers can step back in time. Known by the Romans as ‘Vectis’ the island is home to Queen Victoria’s holiday home Osborne House and Carisbrooke Castle where King Charles I was imprisoned. Local produce means food lovers can enjoy fresh seafood and award-wining eateries.
Life moves a little slower on the island with no motorways… We are known as the dinosaur capital with more fossils found here than anywhere else in the UK, though now we’re home to the Red Squirrel (no grey ones) you can still find more fossils on our 60 miles of coastline.
Whether you’re catching the surf at Compton Bay, relaxing on Sandown beach or having fish and chips in the microclimate of Ventnor, the Isle of Wight promises unforgettable family memories at every turn.

If the walls could talk…
Built in 1732, Calverts is a Grade II listed building with some quirky and original features. It was originally home to the Mayor of Newport and later to a succession of surgeons. In the 19th and early 20th century it was Warburton’s Hotel and proudly earned a Royal Warrant from Her Majesty Queen Victoria – if you look carefully the plaque and sign are still above our front door today!
After the war the hotel became unused and derelict, closing for some time. Mr Calvert, a local builder, bought the hotel in the ’60s and rebuilt the inside, running a successful bar and nightlife, with rooms upstairs. The 21st century brought about some change – now our family’s focus is on a good nights’ sleep for our overnight guests, with a bar for your leisure time.
We purchased the hotel off Mr Calvert’s daughter in March 2002 following his death, though our family were already well established in the tourist seaside town of Sandown since 1971, and in Freshwater Bay since 2000, we know how to look after our guests. Our first generation relocated from London in the ’70s and we are now in our fourth generation with three generations actively working in the business and passionate about making great stays for our guests.
We truly are family owned, family run, and family focused – even at the dinner table we discuss how we can improve your experience, so get in touch for a chat.
We hope to see you soon – Dan, Kate & Kelly
