A warm welcome
We booked for a meal at The Taverners after first visiting there for a drink earlier in the week. We received a warm friendly welcome and the food was excellent, plenty of choice with daily specials and a bit different to the norm. . The service was excellent and very prompt. Their local brew was also good. I would definitely recommend this establishment and would visit again when I am next on the Isle.
Nearby beach
Acess is a bit of a scramble but you are assured a nice quite spot here. The sand is red and white with large boulders and rocks. There are fabulous uninterrupted views over the Solent and the village of St Lawrence is close by.

Well worth the walk
We walked down here with a 10 and 12 year old. Following the costal path signs
Not for those with mobility issues or a fear of heights as steep steps leading down with large rocks at the bottom but lovely when you get there very peaceful Beware of the cows in the field as they didn't appreciate people in the field!!!
Nearby walk
One of the great things about walking on the Isles of Wight is that all the footpaths are numbered, a great help if you are not local. Park in the village car park and start from footpath GL57 along Hollow Lane. This route is just over 5 miles long, muddy in places with lots of stiles. Take a look at the downloadable details from iwight.com for the full route.
Nearby town
Come here for the quintessential cream tea holiday, with thatched rooftops and picnics on the village green. There are plenty of tearooms to sample homemade cakes or have a tipple in the tiny cider shop, before walking off the treats in this picturesque location.

Great outing with the grandchildren
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the model village. The gift shop there is very good and relieved the children of some of their holiday money for fairly priced knickknacks.
As we visited on a Monday some tea rooms were closed but we were pleasantly surprised at the quality and value of the food at the cafe in the car park.

The pretty village of Godshill is home to the popular Model Village, one of the oldest tourist attractions on the island. Build to a scale of 1/10 the villages of Godshill and Shanklin Old Village are beautifully replicated here.
Pretty thatched pub in the located in the old village area. Food is traditional with a selection of real ales and good wine choice. Orders are cooked from scratch but worth the wait.

Very welcoming, good food and atmospheres. Make sure you book ahead.
A popular sea front inn with a large terrace and views across Sandown Bay. Inside the decor is decidedly nautical with a giant propeller by the front door and fisherman's glass floats on the veranda. Children and dogs are welcome. Live music plays and details of this are on their website.
