Sentry Mead

Excellent b&b. All staff really helpful. Mark cooks up a mean full English!. Really clean and welcoming place, would definitely recommend.

Excellent Hotel execellent employees Gail and Mark cant do enough for you everything comes with a genuine smile both a credit to the owners! Would highly recommend a stay if you are visiting the Isle of wight.

Fabulous. Breakfast had everything you could possibly wish for. Fresh milk delivered to your room in the morning. Everyone made us so welcome. Can't wait for the next visit.

Very welcoming in arrival. Great breakfast choice. Extremely comfortable rooms

Stayed for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Great Lounge and sitting area outside, room was large and spotlessly clean and breakfast choice was excellent. Would have preferred my smoke haddock to come plain and not in a sauce but that's just me. All staff were polite and helpful.

Lovely stay in an amazing room at the Sentry Mead Hotel! The staff were super attentitive, the room enormous, the bed comfortable and the breakfaster brilliant! Bathroom was very spacious too, with a nice bath. This side of the island is much quieter than the eastern coast, but even so we were very well connected by bus. The bus comes ~3mins walk from the hotel every 30mins or so up and down the coast.

The Needles Breezer even stops there too. So it was good for accessibility. Close to Totland Bay beach too, with some nice walks around. The owners are very happy for you to order/bring back a takeaway and eat it in their dining room, or even your own room. They provide cutlery, glasses and condiments for this in the dining room, which I thought was very generous.

The dining room looks out over their lovely garden. Everything was all perfectly clean. We really did have an amazing time. I don't expect that we'll go back to West Isle of Wight, but if we do I'm sure we'd stay here again! There were a few negatives, which could be ironed out. First, they were advertising a cold meat selection for breakfast when we booked.

This was one of the main reasons we booked here. This wasn't offered when we came to stay. This was very disappointing. However, the rest of the breakfast was superb, so this didn't matter so much. Second, the shower---it's the lowest water-pressure I think I've ever encountered! It's a walk-in shower in a large room too, so it's pretty cold unless you're right under the (very gentle) water.

Just put a sliding door and it'll keep the warmth close so much better. Last, the internet---or lack thereof. We just didn't get internet in our room. This is pretty bad for 2021. I appreciate that the internet conenctivity isn't great there, but still. We had 5 bars WiFi on two of the networks, but they weren't working: we could connect but had no internet access.

I could ping the router instantaneously, but ping Google, for example. This is really bad. There was one network which normally had 0 or 1 bars and often dropped out. I managed to download one 20min episode on Netflix over about 1hr, having to pay attention to restart it when it paused. This really should be fixed.

Fantastic break at Sentry Mead. Thank you to Gayle, Mark and all the team for making our holiday so special. Lovely little touches like the home made cake when we arrived and the fresh milk supplied in little bottles for our morning tea. Wonderful breakfast with delicious free range bacon and eggs. Lovely room and very comfortable mattress. Would give more than 5 Stars if we could. Can't wait to see you again soon, Kindest Regards, Mike and Gill.

Absolutely fabulous hotel. I booked a trip for my parents for my mum's 60th Birthday. I rung to make sure payment was taken from myself and not my parents. Gail was fantastic, so helpful and friendly. She even put chocolates in their room for them when she knew it was mum's birthday. My parents had a great time and we're chuffed with all aspects of the hotel. Would highly recommend. And will definitely be going again!

We had a lovely stay over the weekend. We were in room 6 on the top floor. Room 6 is beautiful with a very comfortable bed and an amazing on-suite. The room itself was very quiet but not so quiet that a passing rainstorm was blocked out but that added to the charm of the place to me. I like a full English and the Sentry Mead supplied a splendid one every morning of our visit.

If you want more, then "Double up" it says on the menu! I didn't need to do that with a pre FE bowl of porridge and plenty of toast and coffee. The Wi-Fi was very fast when I tested it, but there are occasional whole IoW blackouts lasting a few minutes at a time. There is an "Honesty Bar" which I didn't feel the need to use but it's very unusual these days and there was a large selection of drinks available upon inspection.

The car park has one place for each room which was handy as there's a parking problem in the area with large areas of Double Yellows or narrow streets. All-in-all a very pleasant stay and we will again if a room is available.

Such clean comfortable rooms and every precautions are taken. Friendly efficient staff, your comfort is their concern nothing is too much trouble. Definitely will come back. Thank you Gayle and Mark and Bridget for making us feel so welcome.

We can't recommend this lovely place high enough. Mark, Gayle and the staff were so welcoming and friendly. There are many nice touches which made our stay special.the homemade cake in the room to welcome us, fresh milk delivered to outside our door every morning, a well stocked and interesting honesty bar. The breakfast was excellent.everything you could want.

It's a home from home, cosy calm and friendly hotel with a touch of luxury.perfect to come back to after a hard day playing the tourist! And can't not mention. Marks amazing nuts!.and other homemade delicious bar snacks.

Lovely hotel. Superb breakfast. Very clean throughout. Homemade cake on arrival was lovely. Large bedrooms and lovely well-kept gardens. The hosts Mark & Gayle and the rest of the family are lovely and friendly and are very helpful too, nothing was too much trouble. Wishing them both every success in the future. We will definitely be back to stay again. Lovely part of the IOW, with lovely coastal walks to Alum Bay & Freshwater
