Priory Bay Hotel (Closed)


Priory Road, Seaview, Nettlestone, Isle of Wight PO34 5BU

Nettlestone Priory was once the haunt of "The Blue Lady", believed to be Esther Grose, who was heartbroken when her pet spaniel died; she had the dog stuffed and placed in a case but when the building was sold the contents were sold - and the dog in its case was lost. The ghost was distraught, calling for her dog. The dog was eventually found and replaced in the building - and the hauntings ceased, apart from very occasional sightings, and sometimes the little dog itself is seen too. A pair of phantom monks have been seen in the grounds and a guest reported a man in a suit of armour appearing in her bedroom at night.
