The Bell Lodge

Just faultless. Perfect hosts, the breakfast was as good as you can get - great choice of food, well cooked and couldn’t fault it. Rooms spotless. Ample parking in front of the lodge. The Bell Lodge is up there with the best!! Will certainly be back.

I found The Bell Lodge perfect in every way. Hosts and owners, Emma and Gordon could not do enough for us to make sure we felt welcome and needed everything. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Breakfast was amazing, rooms were ultra clean and replenished and they both went out of their way to help us and make our stay pleasant. Am looking forward to the next time! Thanks so much, Jo, Steph and Tony.

Had a nice 3 days staying at the bell Lodge great hosts Emma and Gordon couldn't do enough breakfast was great slept well . Emma found the keys I put them in a pair of socks we had a extra hours journey to pick the other set mark wasn't best pleased as you can imagine Thanks again guys till we meet again with the next car x

Really well presented bed and breakfast, great hosts, comfy beds and the best bit, the sausages on a morning fry up. All round great service. Right on the bus route, and a couple minutes walk from Sandown pier. Great stay, will be back for sure.

By far the best B&B I've ever stayed in. Unfortunately Emma and Gordon made it so welcoming, homely, friendly and relaxing, that we didn't want to leave. They are the perfect hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and happy. We stayed in room 1 and the bed was so comfortable. The bed base was brilliant with the storage, so much so, we are looking at buying one ourselves. Tea and coffee facilities are stocked. Lovely view of the sea. The shower was large and refreshing. The room had lovely decor and cannot fault it. Emma's breakfasts were amazing and cooked fresh, with plenty of options. Gordon makes a perfect brew as well. We made use of the comfy sitting room when we chilled after a lovely day out and also the garden in the evening as it was still warm. Location is great and the beach is within walking distance ( though we're too lazy for that exercise in 29 degrees lol). A good base for many attractions within easy reach. Now we come to Benji The Bell Lodge Bear. The large bear is part of the family at Bell Lodge and we found him in various places and poses the 1st day or two. This set a challenge, and soon we too were dressing him and playing along. It caused a giggle between us all, and other guests were looking out for him. A great touch for The Bell Lodge. Look out for him. Top marks on everything. As Arnie would say "I'll be back".

I spent a most enjoyable week at The Bell Lodge with my partner. The guesthouse is conveniently located at walking distance from the village centre. It is well-presented, comfortable and cosy, with all mod cons thrown in as well. I slept well, showered and shaved without any problems and partook of wholesome breakfasts (which are to be ordered beforehand on a form). The hosts, Emma and Gordon, went to great lengths to make our stay as agreeable as can be. (They even gave me a birthday card and put up a banner; must have been thirty years since anyone did that for me.) They are, of course, highly knowledgeable as regards the various Isle of Wight attractions, they are affable animal lovers and－which was much appreciated－they drove us back to the ferry terminal on the day of our departure. In summary: as a holiday-maker, you could do far worse if staying at Sandown. I can therefore highly recommend The Bell Lodge.
