Isle of Wight Family Holidays

There's nothing better than a family holiday on the Isle of Wight. No matter if your family means Mum, Dad and three under-fives or you've left the kids at home and you're looking for a romantic break for two. The Isle of Wight is the perfect place for stress-free family holidays and relaxing short breaks.

It was back in 1843 that Blackgang Chine, the UK’s first theme park opened its magical gates, and the Isle of Wight became to be the place for unique family holidays. In 2018, the UK’s enchanted holiday island will be celebrating 175 years of family fun with 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' the much loved film and classic children's book. 

To get the celebrations off to a flying start, we're giving you to the chance to win a holiday on the Isle of Wight worth over £2000. The prize inlcudes a stay at a gorgeous Classic Cottages holiday cottage, ferry travel across the Solent to the Island plus a bundle of tickets to attractions, things to do and places to eat out for the whole family.

Over the last 175 years families have been drawn to holiday on the Isle of Wight. From countless beaches and rolling Downs, to historic properties and attractions, from iconic festivals to miles upon miles of footpaths, cycle and bridle ways – the Island offers the perfect anti-dote to the stresses and strains of 21st century living for everyone.

If you're looking for a place to stay, choose from welcoming holiday parks and campsites, an enormous selection of self-catering cottages, elegant boutique hotels, and a full range of glamping experiences from VW campervans to tiny homes.
