Enjoy a fabulous, great value holiday on one of the UK's most popular holiday islands. The Isle of Wight may be just five miles off the mainland, but it’s a different world. Nowhere in the country can match it for geographical variety in its 23 mile long and 13 mile wide, stretch of land. You will find quiet fishing harbours and quaint towns and villages, along with stretches of golden sand and unspoilt, award-winning beaches. More than half the Isle of Wight is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and with spectacular scenery and a rich royal heritage, the island has plenty to offer all year round. Our charming seaside town base of Sandown, nestled on the island's eastern coast, beckons with its captivating blend of natural beauty, history and fun. Whether you're seeking a tranquil beach retreat, an adventurous exploration of the island's treasures, or a journey through its rich history, this break offers a short yet memorable visit.
We'll whisk you away and over the water on the short crossing from the mainland to then arrive at your hotel in Shanklin, the comfortable Ocean View. This hotel enjoys sweeping ocean views, great food and at least one night of live entertainment.
Make sure you join us as we enjoy a Diamond Isle Discovery Tour whilst also exploring Ryde and Cowes.
An ideal choice for:
* Anyone looking for a great value weekend by the sea
* People curious to explore this popular holiday island at a great price
* Traditional seaside lovers looking for a relaxing long weekend break
* Lovers of picture-perfect settings and scenery
PLEASE NOTE: Price is per person and based on two people sharing a twin/double room. Single room supplements and upgrades are not included.
