Seagrass

Seagrass Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Seagrass on Beachfield Road, you immediately get that feeling this place is something special. It’s one of those four-star gems that doesn’t need to shout about itself — the kind of place where couples seem to naturally gravitate toward each other on the front terrace, already planning their next visit before they’ve even checked out. The whole vibe is relaxed but polished, and honestly, the fact that there’s free parking right on site already puts it ahead of most places in Sandown.

Location & Neighborhood

You know what really struck me about this spot? It’s perfectly positioned without being right in the thick of tourist chaos. Sandown beach is literally a few minutes’ walk away, but you’re tucked into this quieter residential area where you can actually hear yourself think. The location gets a 9.5 rating from guests, and I can see why — you’ve got easy access to the pier and all the seaside action, but when you want to retreat, Seagrass feels like your own little sanctuary. Plus, being able to park your car and forget about it for the weekend? That’s worth its weight in gold on the Isle of Wight.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in had this lovely coastal feel without going overboard on the nautical theme — you know how some seaside places can get a bit heavy-handed with the anchors and rope. Instead, it felt fresh and contemporary, with those little touches that show someone actually cares about the guest experience. The bed was properly comfortable (and I’m picky about mattresses), and the bathroom had that satisfying feeling of being recently updated. What I really appreciated was the attention to lighting — there’s nothing worse than a hotel room where you can’t see yourself in the mirror properly.

Dining & Amenities

The restaurant here deserves a mention because it’s not just going through the motions. They’re clearly working with local suppliers, and the menu changes enough to keep things interesting if you’re staying more than a night or two. I mean, you’re on the Isle of Wight — the seafood should be good, and it absolutely is. The staff seemed genuinely enthusiastic about what they were serving, which always makes a difference. Breakfast was particularly well done, with proper attention to detail rather than just the usual hotel buffet situation.

Why Guests Love It

There’s something about Seagrass that just works, especially for couples looking for a proper getaway. Maybe it’s the way the place manages to feel both intimate and spacious, or how the staff strike that perfect balance between being helpful and giving you space. The 10-out-of-10 rating from guests isn’t just about the facilities — though they’re excellent — it’s about how the whole experience comes together. You leave feeling like you’ve actually had a break, not just changed your location for a few days. And honestly, in a world where so many hotels feel interchangeable, that’s becoming increasingly rare.
