WHAT THE PRESS SAY ABOUT THE PRIORY BAY HOTEL

Aug 2010

House and Garden:
“Five of England’s best seaside hotels”

“The hotel is set in 70 acres between Bembridge and Seaview, with a woodland path leading to its own east-facing beach. There are 18 rooms in the main building, plus two tithe barns sleeping six each, and several self-catering cottages and houses.
The two restaurants: the Regency Island Room, with murals copied from nineteenth-century George Brannon prints and the informal Priory Oyster. Work up an appetite with a game of golf, tennis or croquet, or by swimming, beachcombing or sailing.”

At Home Magazine

“If you can’t decide between getting married in a country house or by the sea, you can choose both! Situated between Bembridge and Seaview, two of the Isle of Wight’s premier sailing resorts, the Priory Bay Hotel has a stunning location and is still very accessible from the mainland, being just two and a half hours from London. The country house, affords spectacular views of the bay, beautiful gardens and delightful woodland walks.”
