Schools, Colleges, Universities and Independant Groups

The Wighthill is one of the Island’s major provider of accommodation to schools, colleges, universities and private education providers.

Recent College Visit

Recently, the Art Department at Winchester College carried out a highly successful trip with us, This helped them achieve their stated goals of working directly within inspiring coastal environments whilst reducing their carbon footprint

"I cannot speak highly enough about how Mark, Diane and the team looked after our group. A wonderful level of professional care that made us feel relaxed and comfortable throughout our stay. They fully understood the specific practical requirements of our trip and learning aims and worked with us to facilitate these brilliantly".

Group Bookings

The Wighthill works with the island’s educational visit providers. These groups normally follow their own agenda. We provide the accommodation with secure exclusive use of the hotel. All meals are catered for and we provide workspace areas to support learning.

We also work independently with private education providers, and can assist with planning and booking events and visits during the stay.

Accommodation

The Wighthill student and group staff  accommodation areas are in the main hotel rooms. There is also a dedicated Bunkhouse with attached en-suite staff bedroom.
