Great place for a holiday with the kids. I used to go there when I was a nipper. There are at least 5 decent beaches, a Castle, stately homes, Blackgang chine (a bit like Alton towers but smaller) based on Pirates. Robin Hill adventure park, Cowes marina. The villages are a mix of old and new with traditional inns with thatched roofs the works. It's only £24.00 for a car with 4 people for the ferry. It really is a one of the Great British holiday spots. As long as the weathers good of course Lol.
