Located off the southern coast of England the
Isle of Wight is a 35 minute ferry ride from the port of Lymington. The Isle of Wight
offers golden beaches, forests and open meadows as well as gardens and historic
sites. Carisbrooke Castle is a majestic medieval ruin. Osborne House, near Cowes,
was built as Queen Victoria's country retreat and Yarmouth is a seductive port with narrow lanes and stone quays. Walking highlights include a path
through Afton Nature Reserve and along an old railway line, a walk along the
coast climbing through woodland to the Neolithic Long Stone.

Hotel:
FRESHWATER BAY HOUSE. Named after the
semi-circular cove in which it lies, Freshwater Bay House occupies a
premier coastal location with some of the island's best walks on the
doorstep. Many of the 50 bedrooms mostly en-suite, have wonderful
sea views, with others overlooking the extensive grounds. Dating
from the 1790s' this prominent local landmark is now a very comfortable
Country House with three lounges, a light and airy function room, heater
outdoor pool and a children's play area. Consistently rated very
highly for the quality of its food and attention to detail, it remains one
of our most popular holiday venues. All meals are
included.
