Bembridge Coast Hotel |
 |
| Though tranquillity is the
byword at Bembridge, life was not always so peaceful. During World War
II, the southeast part of the site was rented to the Admiralty as a
land-based warship. Nicknamed HMS Blazer, the structure billetted some
250 men and stored arms and mobile radar equipment. Not that you’d know
it today, as you lie back in the Isle of Wight sun and enlist the kind
of service and hospitality only a Warner hotel can provide |

Sinah Warren Hotel |
|
| Sinah Warren is a tranquil
paradise of pines and flowers, sea-birds and butterflies. You're as
likely to spot a Red Admiral from your sun-lounger as a salty sea dog
out in the bay. And we chose our location with the utmost care, ensuring
you can enjoy the finest possible views of stunning Langstone harbour
and every opportunity to relax and take in the sweet, intoxicating sea
air. |

Corton Coastal Village |
 |
| Among Corton’s many unusual
claims to fame is its links to mustard. Towards the end of the 19th
century, the head of the Colman family acquired the estate, turning the
already beautiful setting into one of the loveliest gardens on the east
coast. As the Colman estate fragmented, pretty Corton eventually passed
into the hands of Warner Leisure Hotels, who transformed it into the
traditional friendly seaside resort you see today. |

Gunton Hall Coastal Village |
|
| In 1765, it was discovered
that the area’s fine clay was ideal for porcelain manufacture. Lowestoft
has famously manufactured beautiful porcelain for many years. And while
there’s little evidence at Gunton today of the relevant industrial
workings, it’s worth remembering the resort’s importance to the history
of fine ceramics. |

Lakeside Coastal Village |
|
| As you’re greeted by friendly
staff and fellow guests alike, it’s difficult to imagine any other
resort matching Lakeside’s sense of belonging. No surprise, then, that
we’re officially an Investor in People. Yet while community and
companionship are there if you want, it’s equally easy to slip your
moorings and be alone with your partner or your friends, the mild
breezes, the swans and sea-birds, the glorious coastal views....or
simply your thoughts. |

Norton Grange Coastal Village |
|
| One of the real gems of your
stay at Norton Grange is surely the fabulous views of the western
Solent, a busy and colourful waterway which stretches from Cowes to the
Needles. As befits this walkers’ paradise, there’s also a sea wall along
which you can stroll to Fort Victoria; built to defend England’s
southern ports. |
