    I used Red Funnel when I last went to Isle of Wight, but luckily they didn't crash into the dock ;)

    I love to travel as much as I can when I can
    Life has a way to test you, it's how you deal with this that matters
  • If you're staying in Yarmouth then go from there to the Needles by open-top bus rather then driving so you can see the views.

    If you venture to the east end of the island then St Helens has a nice harbour and beach with the Baywatch cafe by the beach.

  • Mmmm We love the Isle of Wight but it depends on what you like as to where to stay!! If you like towns with not a lot going on (if anything) then Yarmouth is the place for you. If you want a good b & b you could try the Belmore in Sandown http://www.thebelmore.co.uk It is spot on. !

    Sadly I've tried several times to contact The Belmore with no success - I've emailed them a couple of times and their phone just goes through to an answer machine. Has anyone stayed here recently?

    Thanks
  • Last year we went to see Paul Weller at Osbourne House and there is a lovely little hotel right there in the grounds of Osbourne House (Albert Cottage Hotel), we wished we had booked up to stay there. There's not a lot going on in East Cowes but it's quite a nice base to explore from and really quite close to Fishbourne where the Wightlink car ferry sails to.
    Well I can't stand by the side
    And watch this life pass me by

    Just want to be...Happy
