Isle of Wight

The Isle of Wight is a nature-filled delight and a haven of unspoilt beauty thanks to its UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status. Come to soak up the island’s microclimate on breezy coastal walks, paddle board, canoe or kayak the waves, and stroll Sandown pier to try your luck at the kitsch arcades. The capital, Newport, bustles with independent shops and eateries, Ryde is a classic bucket-and-spade town and Yarmouth has a pretty pier jutting out over a peaceful harbour. From our inspected and selected collection of special places to stay, it’s easy to explore this quiet island by train, by foot or on two wheels, where the peace is broken only by birdsong, unless you’re around for the annual music and sailing festivals.
