Property description

Friends Hotel offers accommodation from 27 en suite rooms and is situated within walking distance of the town and Sandown’s award winning beaches. Local transport links are close by with the station being a short walk away.

Sandown is a popular tourist location with a number of attractions including the Isle of Wight zoo, pier and Dinosaur Isle.

The business currently trades for 5 months of the year producing a healthy turnover during this time. School and coach parties are provided with bed, breakfast and evening meals while private guests at the week ends are catered for on a bed and breakfast basis. There is scope to increase the turnover by extending the trading season.

The current owner has successfully traded the hotel for the past 15 years and is now looking to retire.
