“Excellent place and excellent hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I went to Sandown with my wife and had booked a double room at Rooftrees. I was to reach the hotel by 9:30PM but due to some delay on the ferry i reached there only at 00:30AM. To my surprise Ann was waiting for us and also had tried reaching us to find out if we were to arrive late. The room was very neat and the arrangements with a teddy on the bed made my wife feel at home. The bathroom was a little small but it is not a major worry as its neat and manageable for an adult. The hospitality is excellent and Ann would make sure your stay is really comfortable. The hotel is just 10 mins walk from the beach and the bus stops right next to hotel in case you are coming there from Cows. We enjoyed our stay there and would definitely recommend the place.

“A friendly place to stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

This charming guest house is situated about 5 minutes walk from the main street and the beach, and about 10 minutes walk from the train station in Sandown, and so is ideal for those reliant on public transport.
The hotel is run on a B&B basis by Ann and her husband Futoshi who does all the cooking, and very nice the full English breakfast is too. If you're so inclined, Ann offers dance instruction - not for me with my two left feet I'm afraid!
The rooms are clean, comfortable and well maintained, and unlike some B&B's the bathroom in the room we stayed in is a decent size.
Ann is a friendly and helpful hostess, and we would definintely return there on our next island visit.
My only very minor gripe is that there is a low lintel leading into Room 1, which has a "Mind Your Head" sign on entrance, but not on exit, as I found when I cracked my nut when leaving the room for the first time! I would suggest a similar warning sign on exit so that those of us over 6 foot tall do not have a sore head on the first morning.

“A real home from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

Ann and Futoshi give you a really warm welcome the minute you arrive. They make you feel so special. We stayed in the attic room which is very cosy and relaxing. Ann will attend to your every need with a lovely smile. Breakfast cooked by Futoshi is really something to look forward to. He really creates a work of art on a plate! They really want you to be part of their home which they share with their family and their pets. A great place to stay on your own, as a couple and a family. We will certainly return!
