Perfect Family Getaway at Fossil Retreat and Fossil Reach in Sandown

We recently had a fantastic family stay in Sandown, where we booked both the Fossil Retreat and Fossil Reach chalets. From the moment we arrived, we were delighted by how clean and well-equipped both chalets were—they truly had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The owners added a lovely personal touch by leaving us biscuits, tea, coffee, and milk, which made us feel immediately welcomed. The location couldn’t have been better. The beach was just a short walk away, making it incredibly convenient for us to enjoy the beautiful Sandown coastline. The town itself had plenty to offer with great restaurants, stunning beaches, and lovely walking paths, making it a perfect destination for a family getaway. Ian, the host, was excellent—very responsive and quick to answer any questions we had, which made our stay even more pleasant. We highly recommend staying at these chalets. They’re not only beautifully maintained and close to the beach, but they also serve as a great base for exploring the Isle of Wight. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would love to return in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Ian Barker

Host profile image
Ian & Diane are semi-retired and live on the Island. Ian is from Shanklin originally and grew up in a guest house there in the sixties and seventies. Providing holiday accommodation now gives the same feelings as Ian had then; it's great to provide a holiday for our guests and receive thanks and recommendations for doing so.

Why they chose this property

The location here is outstanding; we have a quiet part of the holiday park, with views out to sea, and private outdoor space to enjoy them. It's lovely.

What makes this property unique

The location and outlook of our two chalets is wonderful, we are very lucky to be able to offer these views, this quiet location, and we've provided everything you might need, and clean, comfortable accommodation. There's superfast broadband too. Brilliant!
