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.

We stayed a week at the Wight and really enjoyed our holiday. The staff vere very pleasant and helpful and the breakfasts were superb. We bookrd a room described as being small, it was, so we elected to upgrade: this was arranged very quickly and the changeover went very smoothly. We can recommend the Wight most highly.

Great Hotel

Very nice hotel with onsite parking. The swimming pool was warm and a good length and had good opening times. The games room was fun. The hotel was dog friendly. All the staff were polite and friendly. Breakfast had a variety of foods to choose from and was hot and tasty. There is a bar which you can pay by card or charge to your room.

Very conveniently located, with plenty of parking. Staff very helpful. Shower room was quite small, with a big step into the shower,which may be a challenge for the less mobile.Couldn't get kettle under the tap to fill it up. Swimming pool was an added bonus, with jacuzzi, sauna & steam room. Breakfast very good. Decor bit dated, but everywhere clean.
