Whether you are escaping for the first time with your newborn or holidaying with the whole tribe, it is great to have your own space and to be able to do things when you want. And family holidays on the Isle of Wight are full of exciting journeys and destinations, with ferry trips (or hovercraft!), days out, beaches and child-friendly attractions. The island has everything you could want or need for time away with family of all ages.
If you're an active family, this little landmass is surrounded by water so watersports abound. If you're all landlubbers and the ferry ride was more than enough floating, island walks are popular and there are plenty of planned routes to help you explore and discover the views.
Being surrounded by sea, fresh fish will be on the menu in many a restaurant and there are plenty to choose from that welcome little ones. There are play parks, theme parks and plenty of places to run around or just sit and picnic so you can have the best family holiday.
We've got 136 holiday cottages that welcome children on the Isle of Wight.
