Would have given it 5 stars, but issues with the ground, cannot be overlooked.
Hampshire's main ground is the Ageos Bowl situated in West End , near Southampton
The ground is easily accessible from Newport via Vectis Buses (2 & 3) or about a half hour walk via Newport to Sandown trail, the old railway line,
Facilities are what you would expect from a ground in a rural location, The cricket ground had only one scoreboard operating, problems initially with public address system , there was a charity auction on the day, but like a lot of rural venues, had no access to wi-fi, this meant cash only
The ground though is in such a beautiful area , so the problems shouldn't detract anybody from taking in a fixture, if chosen by Hampshire next year, of course if you wish to walk from Newport to Sandown at any other time, it is approximately 8 miles long, along the old railway.
For those interested there are various videos about the railways of the Isle of Wight
Fantastic cricket ground. Went to watch Hampshire. Organised brilliantly so access in and out was easy. Enough seats for everyone, and plenty of food and drink stands.
Absolutely superb. My little brothers wedding reception was here and the venue, service and friendliness of the staff were excellent. Very highly recommended.

A great place to watch cricket, with a friendly bar, comfortable seating and a nice food menu. The venue also offers weddings, events and music.
There is seating outside and you can walk the perimeter of the ground and see the local Lama's and Alpacas.
There is good free car parking, and the ground is on a main bus route.
Great cricket ground and wonderful to see Hampshire v Kent play in the one day Cup.
I went to the cricket ground. I've not eaten there except for a cricket tea or two. A nice place to watch cricket.
Lovely afternoon watching cricket. Lovely set up.
And a beer festival this weekend.
Love this little place and so pleased they have opened another entrance from the cycle path as saves walking on that main road. Have popped in a couple of times for a drink and had visited their craft fair recently. I hope people take notice of this venue and use it more, it's a lovely place with friendly staff
Fantastic place for cricket
