IsleofWight.com testimonials

"We are very happy with the guide. We like the cover and the thickness of the guide."

"We also like the paper quality and the quality of the photographs is exceptional and far better than any of those photos in rival guides."

"The background colour is ideal for seeing the text clearly. We are very happy with our own full page advert, many thanks."

"We would like it if West Wight was at the front of the guide for a change! Also we would like you to put a more detailed what's on guide in the guide."

"I know that you have one on page 10, but there are more things on that people would benefit from knowing about."

Julie Gray - isleofwight.com user

"Thank you for your email and I am pleased with the result of this years brochure."

"Also very pleased that you have managed to gain more advertisers which speaks volumes in this difficult time that hoteliers are looking favourably at your product."

"Keep up the good work and thank you for your support."

Paul - The Leconfield

"I am delighted with our entry to the guide. Its layout and graphics are excellent."

"I thought our days with "solid guides" were a thing of the past but as long as you can offer this sort of material for such a competitive price I will be more than interested in advertising with you."

Charles Asher - Appley Manor

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for your help in finding us accommodation last minute at the Shanklin Hotel. It was an absolutely superb hotel with lovely helpful staff. We walked into the beautiful Shanklin village in the evening upon our arrival. Had a delicious meal at the steak house and then walked through the chine down to the little pub at the bottom. It was truly enchanting a place we will all remember. On the Saturday we all set off for the Garlic Festival which was great fun, great food and great entertainment. After a little round of Crazy Golf on the seafront in Shanklin we went back into the village for cocktails in a little bar we found and then onto a great Indian restaurant. The Sunday we went to the little cove at Ventnor and around the botanical gardens, following that we went onto Alum Bay then Yarmouth. We managed to fit in sooooo much it was incredible."

"We just want to say a thank you thank you thank you for all your help in making our weekend on the Island a truly memorable one. I will always use your website as our first port of call when we plan a visit and will pass on your details to friends and colleagues."

"When looking where to advertise Gurnard Pines, one website came up time and time again at the top of the Google rankings; Isle of Wight.com. Experience has taught me that these sites never deliver particularly many bookings or click throughs, yet the Isle of Wight.com is currently one of our best performing site referrals. So with some degree of trepidation I committed to a year’s insertion. Since then, the click through rate is currently better than PPC on Google and the team are highly responsive to putting up news and special offer features.

"Therefore, I would recommend advertising on this website."

Kevin Darvill - Gurnard Pines

"I cannot thank you enough for all your help and patience in getting it right for us. Old fashioned service from a new technology company Brilliant!"

"We will certainly recommend your website."

Rosemary - isleofwight.com user

"The Gold site is FAB, if it’s not too much trouble to change the colour scheme to match, that would be even better.

Thanks Kate – I’m so thankful there are people like you in the world to make my life that little bit easier!!!!!!"

GM - Warners Norton Grange

"Dear Kevin,

Thank you for all your help in the transfer of our website, especially over the weekend which is your own time, it is now up & running perfectly with no problems. Hopefully we won't have to bother you any further.

Again many thanks & kind regards."

David & Ann Bunney - The Havelock

"Dear Kevin,

Just managed to get back on the internet to view the amendments you have made!

Absolutely fantastic, we didn't expect you to do it quite so quickly but we are really pleased with the results. The site looks exactly as we envisaged it would.

Can't thank you enough for such a fantastic job and would have no hesitation in recommending you to our friends and business contacts.

Thanks again"

Simon and Rosa - All Aspects Cleaning

"Hi Kate,

Just thought I would let you know that I had a wonderful weekend in the Isle of Wight and wanted to thank you for your help in finding a place to stay.

In the end I ended up staying at The Belmont. I thought it worth passing on some feedback. We both loved the hotel which was excellently located and a really lovely place to stay but the thing that stood out most of all was how amazingly friendly and accommodating the proprietors were - such nice people.

I would strongly recommend the Belmont for any other queries you get in the future. It was excellent.

Thanks again"

"'Thanks, Kate, I think the Guide is brilliant.  isleofwight.com is doing for the Island what should have been done years ago by the Tourist Board.  Please tell Kevin and all how great it is." Anon

"Dear Fiona and Kevin,

Thank you for sending The Isle of Wight Tourism Guide which we recently received by airmail - we appreciate your prompt service.

Your publication is of great help to us and we look forward to visiting the Island with our English relatives towards the end of April this year.

Best wishes for 2007.

Regards,

Barrie and Edith Eaton"

" the closest to home that I have ever holidayed is Singapore as I am a massive long haul holiday fan so that should tell you how fantastic your brochure is (I only went for a walk and the brochure really caught my eye - never ever thought about IOW before but it looks stunning!) ' Laura Hart - 18/05/06 "

"I am just running out the door so I really don't have the time to be all flowery in praise of the fantastic job you have made.  Just to say you have captured exactly what we were looking for with your first attempt. We really thought we would have to have lots of meetings with you to change this and that and didn't think you would grasp the look I was after.  All I will say is that it looks Brilliant.  I will need to change some of the detail but that is insignificant at the moment.
Thank you once again."
Simon and Rosa - The Investigation Agency

"We just wanted you to know how pleased we are with every aspect of your company including the excellent & prompt service. We really owe our initial success to the number of enquiries we are receiving from your website. It has been very difficult knowing how to get instant business as we have just started up, so the huge response has helped us enormously to get the business up & running. I can honestly say after over twenty five years in the hospitality trade it is the most effective and cost efficient advertising that we have ever had.
Kindest Regards"
Maggie & Ric Hilton - Kaola Cottage
