Property description
THE BUSINESS
Sandhill is a detached hotel with 16 en suite bedrooms. The building dates from Victorian times with more modern extensions.
Trading all year and offering bed and breakfast with the option to have an evening meal the hotel caters for both school parties (approximately 9 each year) and private guests.
Sandown is a popular tourist destination with its award winning sandy beaches and is ideally located for visiting the rest of the Island. The hotel is just a short walk from Sandown station, with bus routes and the main Sandown/ Shanklin road a short distance away.
The current owners have traded the hotel for the past seven seasons mainly running the business themselves with some additional help during peak times.
