Bridge on the Isle of Wight, Trouville Hotel

From dramatic white cliffs and spectacular coastal walking trails, to picture-postcard villages and traditional seaside resorts, it’s no wonder the Isle of Wight is known as one of the jewels in England’s crown. With a beautifully mild climate and some of the UK’s most beautiful scenery, the Island is just a short ferry journey from the South coast of England, making it the perfect destination for a summer staycation.

We’ll be staying in the heart of the traditional British seaside resort, Sandown, at the lovely Trouville Hotel. Located on the seafront with sweeping views across Sandown and Shanklin Bay, it’s the ideal spot to relax and unwind, or to explore the popular pier and a wide range of nearby shops, cafes, restaurants and tourist facilities. Getting around the island is so simple; the hotel reception can provide you with a bus timetable, or the railway station is just 10 minutes away.

As England’s largest island, the island also boasts over 60 miles of fantastic coastline, half of which is in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Visit the Needles with its 3 huge chalk rocks and take the cable car down to Alum Bay to collect the coloured sands. Visit Cowes, which is home to the oldest and biggest sailing regatta in the world. Or take some time to stroll around some of the picturesque villages; Godshill with its thatched cottages, architecture and winding street full of tea rooms, or Bembridge Village - a beautiful coastal village which won the Village of the Year in BBC countryfile Magazine awards 2019.

What to expect from this Bridge Holiday:
Make your way to our hotel and check in from 15.00. If numbers will allow, we will offer an ‘Early Bird’ afternoon session on the day of arrival.

At the start of your Bridge holiday you’ll be invited to join our Bridge director and host for a welcome meeting in the hotel. Any single travellers will have the opportunity to find a partner for the Bridge room.

Our Bridge programmes will vary according to the length of your break, and, in addition to playing Bridge, we try to include interesting Bridge seminars, hosted by your Bridge Director.

Your duplicate Bridge will be available every evening between 7.45pm and 11.15pm and we endeavour to vary these evening sessions, balancing between teams and pairs.

Bridge will also be offered some afternoons between 2.30pm and 4.45pm. These sessions are normally given over to open pairs/teams.

During your Bridge holiday nothing is obligatory and you can play in as many, or as few, Bridge sessions as you wish. We don’t forget you are on holiday and our Bridge programmes also allow time to relax and the opportunity for you to explore the surrounding area

You can check out of our hotel from 10.30 on the day of departure.
