The Fernside

We had a lovely stay at the Fernside hotel. Stuart the manager was very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, spacious and had a comfortable four poster bed. It is lovely to find such a dog friendly place to stay that is in such a connvinient location being 5 mins walk to Sandown pier and beach. The breakfast options were varied and delicious. We look forward to a return visit and happily recommend.

As soon as I met Stuart I knew it was a good choice of B and B for our 11 night stay in Sandown, friendly and Helpful from the off, The Breakfasts were consistently excellent and Plentiful with Nicola in calm control and professional throughout, the room met all our needs especially the comfy bed, with always enough tea coffee sugar milk and choc bars topped up on a daily basis. A nice touch was the different cups every day as the Island water is alkaline. Extremely friendly Helpful and downright Likeable Bloke who with his hard working wife Angela in the background makes Fernside a place I would recommend highly. A point to mention is that Fernside is pet friendly and has two residential dogs Perfect base for Island exploration by Bus £2 a ticket, free with my Aged Senior bus pass, modern buses,friendly drivers with high skill levels on the local roads really great service, and just down the road 1980s ex London Underground rail service equally affordable and great fun. we hardly used the car! We dined out in several restaurants in Sandown and did not have a single issue consistent good standard throughout, all within easy walking range of Fernside Worth mentioning is im a road cyclist and enjoyed 3 rides out from Fernside, Stuart facilitated my bike superbly.

Stuart/Angela are brilliant hosts. They are very dog friendly even in the dining area. Rooms clean and well appointed. Breakfast tasty central to shops-beach-attractions-station. Lots of doggy cafe/restaurant #teddystouringtales

Lovely and clean. Very homely and the breakfast was amazing. Lovely friendly lady who Served us. The accommodation is very near the beach and pier with great restaurants. Will definitely be coming back .

I enjoyed a lovely 3 night break here. Was made to feel most welcome by owners Stewart & Angela who have a dog called Winston. I took my partner and West Highland Terrier called Hermione as the accommodation and rooms are pet friendly. Fantastic breakfast each morning, a full English, recommend the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup to start your day! My room was clean, spacious and had tea/coffee making facilities with a Freeview TV and ensuite bathroom with a nice shower. The location was perfect, only 250 yards from Sandown station and a ten minute walk from main high street shops and beach/promenade. There is also a park close to station perfect for walking the dog.

Had a fabulous week at Fernside, Stewart and Angela were incredibly welcoming and accommodating and made a fabulous breakfast! My room was obviously recently renovated and very stylish and comfortable, the bed was perfect. There is a shop within one minute and the beach is just a five minute walk. It was also a lovely bonus to be greeted by their dogs and cats who were more than happy to be stroked and fussed. Thank you for a great week!
