Isle of Wight - accomodation?

I am organising a group of cyclists from London to
go to the Isle of Wight on the May Bank Holiday weekend,
and to do the Isle of Wight Randonee.
Maybe about a dozen people in total.

I'm looking for suggestions for accomodation.
Ideal place would be somewhere where we could do self-catering,
something like holiday cabins, a barn conversion, or even
nicer an outdoors centre.
Youth hostel would be good, but I doubt we would get a booking.

Ideas, recommendations for good places please!

(I think I asked the same thing last year...)

obviously not much.
BTW that weekend clashes with a motorbike rally or something but they all
seem to be staying in one large field of tents bars and spit roast cyclists
;-)
About 6 motorbike police went over on the same ferry as me presumably for a
bit of easy picking speed ticketing.
Last time I tried to camp there all the campsites were families only so we
pitched on the old railway line.

Both Totland and Sandown are good yhas.
We stayed in Sandown last year and booking was easy, just a fortnight
before the event.
You can then start the ride at the Alverstoke control.
There's also a reasonable pub just down the road.

You could try any of the squillions of chalet/holiday parks that
sometimes rent out for short periods or have a look at:

This year it is likely I'll camp as there is several of us going over -
probably at Northwood near Cowes where the site is simply a big field.
Its right on the Round the Island route.

And of course there's an even better pub nearby - the Travellers Joy - 8
real ales :-)
