Best Isleofwight holiday apartments

The Isle of Wight is located off the south coast of England in the English Channel directly opposite the city of Southampton and is now independent. Until 1974 it belonged to the county of Hampshire. The island, whose outline reminds of a rhombus, is about 35 kilometres long and reaches a maximum width of about 20 kilometres. More than 140,000 people live here on a total of 381 square kilometres. In addition, every year, numerous vacationers and tourists come to the island, and many of them book an apartment on the Isle of Wight as a holiday resort. Here you can not only spend a relaxing holiday by the sea, but also visit a whole range of interesting sights. Compared to couchsurfing on the Isle of Wight or a larger holiday resort, a private holiday apartment on the Isle of Wight offers you a maximum of independence. This means that you can organise your holiday as you wish in every respect and do not have to follow the habits and daily rhythm of your hosts or other holidaymakers. To get to your private accommodation on the Isle of Wight, you can use one of the various ferries that take you from the English coast to the island in a short time. For example, the Wightlink catamaran, or “Cat” for short, operates between Portsmouth and Ryde; the journey takes a quarter of an hour. From Southsea you can also take the Hovertravel hovercraft to Ryde within ten minutes. There is also a ferry service between Cowes and Southampton (twenty minutes drive) and car ferries from Lymington, Portsmouth and Southampton.

Wide range of apartments on the Isle of Wight

If you are looking for private holiday homes on the Isle of Wight, you can choose between different locations spread across the island. But no matter which apartment on the Isle of Wight you choose, thanks to the well developed road network and the short distances on the island, you will never be far away from the tourist highlights that can be seen here. Each of the places on the island has its own character. Book an Apartment in Newport and have a look at the “capital” of the island or move into accommodation in Cowes, which is mainly known for its marina. Or opt for a holiday apartment in Ryde, a seaside resort on the coast of the Isle of Wight. The ruins of a Roman villa in Brading prove that the Isle of Wight was already inhabited in ancient times. The Island Line from Ryde Pier Head to Shanklin is, by the way, one of the shortest British railway lines with a length of just 13.6 kilometres.
