The island has become a real hot spot for cycling enthusiasts with a choice of challenging off-road bridleways, peaceful byways and level purpose-made tracks running along former railway lines. You can cycle across the width of the island to the famous Needles landmark or try the full round the island route, which is 66 miles long and is used for the annual Isle of Wight Randonnee held over the bank holiday in May. You can also travel along the route at a more leisurely pace, stopping off along the way at one of the many restaurants, pubs and cafés that can be found in the quaint villages and towns.
Other outdoor pursuits on the island include horse riding, fishing, paragliding, golf and water sports. There are numerous attractions across the island to discover for all ages, such as The Needles (with its chairlift, amusement park, boat rides, lighthouse and coloured sands of Alum Bay), Blackgang Chine, Dinosaur Isle, the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, Ventnor Botanical Gardens, Tapnell Farm Park and Carisbrooke Castle - or why not pay a visit to Queen Victoria’s favourite holiday residence, Osborne House and its gardens? The sailing towns of Yarmouth and Cowes also make for a great day out. Beach 1 mile. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

Just returned from here and it's safe to say we will return. Lovely host who is always ready to.help.with any snags and can give advice about the local area. Convenient for bus routes to tourist attractions and just far enough off the beaten track to be peaceful without being isolated. My daughter's highlight was watching the stoat running along the lane here and watching the bats and bunnies at dusk.

Beautiful setting. Very friendly and helpful host. We loved the welcome pack, especially the fresh eggs!The table tennis table was small but fun. Kitchen was fairly well-equipped. Double bed not very comfortable.Would definitely stay here again.
