Holiday lettings, villas, apartments and cottages to let

 The Isle of Wight has 17 award winning beaches. Such as Colwell Bay (which has a Blue Flag Award and with it's fine firm yellow sand and gently shelving beach it is ideal for young children and families), Compton, Brook and Totland. There is a picturesque harbour at Yarmouth.

There are hundreds of miles of interesting walking routes whether they be coastal, downland or inland. The Tennyson Trail walk takes you via the Tennyson monument to the Needles and the Needles Old Battery owned by the National Trust.

Newport is the County town of the Island. It has an excellent variety of shops, boutiques and supermarkets - Morrisons, Sainsburys, Lidl and M&S to name but a few. It also holds a Farmers Market every Friday. A Waitrose in East Cowes and an Aldi in Cowes means you .are spoilt for choice! There is also an Arts Centre, a Multiplex Cinema and a large leisure centre in Newport.

There are many attractions such as stately homes, forts, castles, an abbey and gardens, many of which are owned by the National Trust and English Heritage - one of these is Osborne House at East Cowes. This was the summer home and indeed the final residence of Queen Victoria.

There is plenty of opportunity for outdoor activities - sailing, surfing, body boarding, windsurfing, paragliding, swimming, sea canoeing, cycling, golf and horse riding. Or why not take a boat trip round the Island or go on an organised sea fishing trip. If railways are your interest take a trip on the Isle of Wight steam railway at Havenstreet.
