Perhaps unsurprisingly, many of our guests mention that at the end of their break they haven't found the time to leave the hotel grounds.   Where else can you enjoy a first class grass bowls green (available May to September), archery, pitch and putt, tennis, crochet and the delights of the formal Spanish garden.   And that's all before you venture inside.
There you will discover an inviting pool, sauna, spa bath, fitness room, competition standard indoor bowls hall, and a pampering health and beauty salon.   Then, of course, there is the Captain's Lounge, the Four Tides restaurant, cabaret room and games room.
Nevertheless Bembridge remains a perfect location for exploring the island, so if you do find yourself with a spare hour or so then our out and about section will provide you with a taste of what is available outside of the hotel grounds.
Out & About
All within an hours drive-
A break on the Isle of Wight allows you to experience the fantastic quality of life of the Islanders.   Start with a wander round the splendid formal gardens of Osbourne House, Queen Victoria's summer residence.   Then take a drive to the 12th century Carisbrook Castle.   If you visit the 17th century Calbourne Watermill, make sure you stroll down nearby Winkle Street, a picturesque collection of cobbled pavements and little shops.
For lovers of rare plants and animals, two musts are the award winning Ventnor Botanical Gardens  and the Rare Breeds and Waterfowl Park.
For some fun taken straight from your childhood, spend an hour or two at the Needles Pleasure Park where you can paddle at the edge of the famous Alum Bay sands.
And for some grown-up fun, make sure you are around during the famous Cowes Week when you can experience the thrill of Island life to the full.
