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.
