The Wellington Hotel radiates the timeless charm of Victorian residential architecture, beautifully restored after a four-year closure and extensive renovations under new ownership in 2021. Retaining many of its original features, it seamlessly combines classic Victorian elegance with modern comforts, offering guests an authentic experience of an English seaside resort and its unique microclimate.
Our family-run hotel celebrates the heritage of the Duke of Wellington and Scotland, promising to exceed your expectations and provide a peaceful retreat you’ll want to return to. Enjoy breath-taking views from our panoramic terrace, complete with pristine white fencing and plush outdoor seating. Inside, you'll find an intimate bar, a welcoming breakfast room, and a cosy log fire, creating an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality throughout.
Located just steps from the southernmost beach on the Isle of Wight, the hotel features 22 comfortable en-suite rooms, all with picturesque views of the sea just 100 yards away. With our own private steps leading down to the beach, you'll find yourself surrounded by natural beauty. With a mix of red shingle and golden sand, complemented by vintage beach huts offers a delightful taste of coastal nostalgia.
Sunday Roast
Whilst we don't provide daily meals, we're excited to introduce special culinary experiences. Our Sunday roasts are a year-round affair, ensuring you can experience the warmth of a home-cooked feast without the need to turn on your oven. The menu evolves with the seasons, consistently featuring carefully selected meats sourced from local farmers, alongside locally grown vegetables. Picture crispy roast potatoes infused with garlic and rosemary, decadent cauliflower cheese, and the crowning glory – the perfect gravy.
On Sundays, we believe in embracing the leisurely momentum - whether it's relishing a lie-in, enjoying a cooked breakfast, tending to weekend chores, or, of course, treating yourself to a hearty roast for lunch. After all, what better way to unwind than relaxing with a comforting and delicious meal.
Summer BBQ
Every Friday night throughout summer we transform our terrace into the go-to family BBQ & Grill. We offer a fantastic range of home cooked and in-house meals from burgers to freshly grilled fish and meat using our signature recipe rubs. This insures that our dishes are packed full of flavour. We aim to accommodate all ages, tastes and do our very best to cater for any specialist dietary requirements. We have a variety of vegetarian, vegan, options on our menu.
