The Bay Broadway park is a former Victorian mansion house, once home to a wealthy entrepreneur. Today this handsome hotel retains many of its original features and is set within four acres of picturesque grounds. The gardens are home to a variety of wildlife including rare Isle of Wight Red Squirrels, foxes and badgers. This is the perfect setting to get away and relax and you are always assured of a warm welcome. The hotel has three comfortable lounges and a recently refurbished ballroom in which to enjoy the regular evening entertainment. The leisure facilities include an outdoor swimming pool (open from May to September) and a snooker room and there is also parking within the grounds. Whilst here you are sure to enjoy the tranquillity of the setting but it is just a 15 minute walk to the town centre and seafront where there is plenty to see and do.
Please note all prices quoted for Bay Broadway Park Hotel include free ferry to and from the Isle of Wight. Our Sandown hotel’s car park is available to guests.

Local Insight
The Isle of Wight is a diamond shaped Island that is just 23 miles wide and 13 miles high. It is situated at the far South of Great Britain, sandwiched between France and the UK and has many attractions to offer on the island.
Shipwreck Centre and Maritime Museum Many sad and tragic stories of shipwreck and loss of life are told in the displays, including famous wrecks such as the SS “Mendi”, and the mystery of the missing submarine HMS”Swordfish”,(found by Martin in 1983). Famous local shipwreck stories such as the “Clarendon” and “Sirenia” are also to be found in the displays. Literally thousands of treasures and artefacts are on display in the museum complex.

Isle of Wight Zoo The Isle of Wight Zoo is a family-run zoo with a special interest in tigers and lemurs. The zoo was built within the ruins of a Victorian Fort built to guard Sandown's coast, which means we face one of the Isle of Wight's nicest beaches. Once upon a time the zoo owners used to walk tiger cubs on the beach, and we're still famous locally for it. Nowadays we focus on looking after older tigers and giving them a happy retirement. Visit their website
The Needles Our world famous coloured sand cliffs overlook the Isle of Wight’s most famous landmark – The Needles Rocks and Lighthouse. The Needles Park offers a range of attractions including the spectacular chairlift to the beach, Alum Bay Glass and Sweet Manufactory; the perfect packed day out for all the family. And remember the park is free to enter – rides and other attractions are pay-as-you-go, so you can decide how long the fun goes on! Visit their website
Carisbrooke Castle One of the main tourist attractions in the Isle of Wight, Carisbrooke Castle is best known as the place where King Charles I was imprisoned. You can still play bowls on the very green Charles used. For a castle that has lived through more than 800 years of service, including resisting a siege by the French and seeing off the Spanish Armada, it's also wonderfully well preserved.

Great Hotel Break
We stopped on a 5 day Shearings holiday and on first impressions were very pleased, and we were not proved wrong. The room was clean and tidy with all facilities one needs, all the staff were friendly, smiling, well presented, and hard working. Rooms were cleaned efficiently by the cleaning staff, bar staff were ever efficient, and Ayden our waiter was excellent. The food was very good with a good choice both for breakfast and evening meal. Evening entertainment very good and enjoyable 5 STAR.

EXCELLENT HOTEL
My husband and I returned from an 8 day Coach Holiday to this Hotel last week. Lovely Hotel, very friendly and helpful staff, in a very nice setting. The food and service was excellent, we were spoilt for choice! This is the best Shearings Hotel that we have stayed at. Thank you to everyone for making our holiday so enjoyable. Keep up the good work - we will definitely be back!

Fantastic!
All the remarks about this hotel are true, could not fault anything. All the meals are superb, the staff superb, nothing was too much trouble and the grounds lovely. The only things that could make it better would be the shower cubicles, as getting in and out of a bath is difficult for older people, but this is a personal thought. Keep up the good work!

Wow! Fantastic!
What a fantastic break! The staff were amazing, the food was amazing. They’re such a lovely bunch of people, great coach drivers too, very humorous and entertaining. My wife and I must have been the youngest couple there at only 30. The majority of the guests for this 3 nights break were middle aged and OAPs but its still superb, the level of service you receive. I highly recommend this hotel with flying colours!

One of Shearings Best
We had a long weekend here in January, the service was first class and the room was also perfect. I would say it’s one of the best Shearings Hotels to stay at.

review of hotel roadway park hotel 4/10/2010
We had a great holiday with Shearing’s at this hotel. The food was great, all staff were very friendly. We did not see any red squirrels! We think you should put showers in because we think baths are deep for the elderly. That was our only fault.

Hotel Review
Hotel grounds are nice. Room we had was double bed and a single bed with patio doors which was great. Food good choice, out of 3 dinners I found only 1 that I didn’t like any of the choices. Bar all Inc 7.30pm-10.30pm great and strong not English drinks. Service at meals very good, a bit too quick! You order and then its there, like magic!
