🎶 Just 1 day to go until the Isle of Wight Festival…

The Island is starting to feel that buzz, music, visitors arriving, and that early summer atmosphere building ☀️

If you're heading over, it’s the perfect excuse to make a weekend of it.

What a lovely day in Cowes today! ☀️⛵ The marina is buzzing with activity, boats coming and going, and plenty of people enjoying the waterfront. Stopped for food at Pontoon View Bar it was absolutely lovely – great food, great atmosphere, and beautiful views across the marina. Days like this remind you how lucky we are to have such a special place on our doorstep. 😊🌊

Attending the State of the Island debate this evening. Curious to hear the different perspectives, ideas, and priorities for the island’s future. Looking forward to an interesting discussion.

We love hearing how guests spend their time on the Island 💛

Some fill their days exploring, others slow right down and enjoy quiet mornings and evening walks.

There’s no right way to do it and that’s the beauty of it.

Local Favourite Spotlight 💛

If you’re heading to Yarmouth, we always recommend PO41 Coffee House ☕

A relaxed spot for breakfast, brunch or a good coffee before a wander along the harbour.

It’s places like this that really make an Island stay feel special.

Perfect if you’re staying nearby at one of our West Wight homes…

✨ Yarmouth Taittinger Regatta is almost here… ⛵🥂

There’s something truly special about the West Wight at this time of year, the harbour filled with sails, the gentle buzz of the regatta, and that relaxed yet refined coastal atmosphere that makes Yarmouth so loved.

Whether you’re heading over for the racing, the social scene, or simply to soak it all in with a glass of something chilled… it’s the perfect weekend escape 🌊

And while summer is on the horizon, it’s also the perfect moment to plan ahead…

Christmas cottage in the heart of Yarmouth is now open for bookings.

Have you experienced the regatta before, or is it on your list this year? ⛵✨

A little glimpse into one of our cosy coastal homes, Anchor cottage, Cowes ✨

Soft interiors, light-filled spaces, and somewhere you can truly switch off after a day exploring.

We always think your stay should feel just as special as the destination.

June weekends are booking up quickly, so if you're thinking about a last-minute escape, now’s a lovely time to plan 💛

One of our favourite things about June… coastal walks without the crowds 🌿

From Compton Bay through to Freshwater, it’s all about open space, sea views, and slowing things down.

We love finishing this walk with a stop at a local café for something sweet 🍰

Have you got a favourite post-walk spot?
