Staff were very welcoming and breakfast was good. I was not impressed in the quality of property and rooms were very worn down. Beds were old and need to be replaced. No towels in the pool area and over all seems like the property is stuck in a old time warp.

Disliked: Room comfort
We usually stay in 4* accomodation and we didn't feel that The Wight 'hit that mark' Our room was serviced daily however, not to a particular high standard of cleanliness especially in the bathroom which definitely needed a refurbishment however, must mention the lovely white fluffy towels which were appreciated. A glass rather than plastic cups would also be more 4* in the rooms. The chairs weren't relaxing and too low for sitting on to dry hair infront of the mirror! The full Monty breakfasts were obviously popular with many guests but we would have appreciated a better healthy option with more fresh fruit with our breakfast. When asking for a cup of tea in the bar area, milk in a jug would be more in keeping with 4 star rather than long life milk in a plastic container! staff were friendly but somehow we felt The Wight had a lack of atmosphere to help enhance an otherwise enjoyable holiday.

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.

Superb place to stay

We arrived and were met by a lovely lady who was very informative and made us feel really welcome which was great. Breakfast was really good and Terry in the morning was great and chatty. Room was very clean and large ( we did get a superior double). All of the staff were great and nothing was too much trouble and the knowledge of the area was a blessing. Being off the road was also good and the car park is large enough. We will definitely be back for another visit soon. Thank you all John and Sheila Room 148
