New Horizon – Pet friendly Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to New Horizon – Pet friendly, honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from what looked like a standard apartment building. But you know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that surprise you. This four-star spot in Sandown has that understated charm that grows on you — and the fact that I could bring my dog along made it an instant win. The private parking right on site was a relief too, especially since finding a spot near the coast during peak season can be a nightmare.

Location Magic

I mean, they’re not kidding when they say this place has a top location. You’re literally a stone’s throw from Sandown’s main beach, and I found myself walking down there every morning with my coffee. The pier is right there, and if you’re into those classic seaside vibes — the kind with fish and chips and arcade sounds — you’ll get your fill. What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays despite being so central. Couples seem to love it here, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about those sea views without all the tourist chaos you get in some of the busier spots.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup works really well, actually. You get a proper kitchen which saved me a fortune on eating out every meal, and the room was spacious enough that I didn’t feel cramped even with my golden retriever taking up half the floor space. The pet-friendly aspect isn’t just a marketing thing either — they genuinely welcome your furry friends, and there are water bowls and even some treats waiting when you arrive. The views from the windows are pretty spectacular too, especially if you catch the sunrise over the water.

Practical Perks

What really sold me on this place was how smoothly everything worked. The Wi-Fi was solid (important when you’re trying to work remotely), and having that private parking meant I could explore the island without worrying about losing my spot. The building itself is well-maintained, and you can tell they actually care about the details. I noticed little things like proper blackout curtains and a decent shower with good water pressure — stuff that matters when you’re staying more than just a night or two.

Why Guests Love It

Look, Sandown isn’t trying to be Brighton or Portsmouth, and that’s exactly what makes this place special. You get that authentic Isle of Wight experience without the pretense, and New Horizon fits right into that vibe. The combination of being pet-friendly, having those killer location scores, and actually delivering on comfort makes it a solid choice. I’d definitely come back, especially knowing my dog had such a good time exploring the nearby beaches. For couples looking for a romantic getaway or anyone wanting a proper base to explore the island, this ticks all the right boxes without breaking the bank.

Hotels near me on the Isle of Wight promise quick drives to Yarmouth piers, dinosaur beaches, and alpaca farms.
