Directions: To get to The Belmont from any port via Newport / Arreton, first follow signs to Sandown. Ignore signs to Shanklin about 2 miles from Newport and again at the mini-roundabout in Apse Heath. In Lake (9 miles from Newport) turn right at the T junction, where the road is marked S\'LIN (NOT Sandown).
After a mile, go half left at the Five Ways traffic lights, signposted Ventnor. This is Queens Road. The Belmont Hotel is a quarter of a mile on the right, opposite St Saviour\'s Church. If you are coming from Ryde via Sandown, simply follow signs to Shanklin and the directions from the Five Ways lights.
