Enjoying Your Family Vacation at the Isle of Wight

When you are planning your vacation, make the Isle of Wight holidays a priority on your list and you will never regret it. You have a myriad of things to do and different places to see in the Isle of Wight. Even your nights will be swamped with interesting activities. Part of fun-filled Isle of Wight holidays are trips to gardens, theme parks, historic castles and forts and stunning beaches. When the sun sets, you can take your family to various restaurants, pubs and clubs in the island that cater to people of all ages. But if you stay in the Isle of Wight cottages, these cottages will be a vacation in itself. The Isle of Wight cottages will guarantee your family a luxurious and clean place to stay and relax after a day of sightseeing. These are self-catering units and can accommodate a small or large number of guests. The location of the Isle of Wight cottages makes it very easy to go to the different attractions in the IOW. Below are some of the most interesting places to go to together with your family.

Thorness Bay

Watch great shows and performances at the Thorness Bay. Kids will enjoy different shows like Alice in Boogieland or Rocky Disco Space Show. The Dr. Krew Show will be a pleasant surprise for your kid who loves Dr. Who. Before you go, though, make a call from the Isle of Wight cottages and find out what the performances and shows are for the night. Better yet, make your Isle of Wight holidays more fun by making sure you spend even just one night to watch these shows.

IOW Steam Railway

If you want to see how people travelled in the old times, try to take a ride in a vintage steam locomotive of the IOW Steam Railway. It is just a short distance from your Isle of Wight cottages. Aside from the experience seeing up close and riding in a locomotive dating back to the Edwardian or Victorian times, you will also learn about the interesting history of the railways. Make a call in advance from your Isle of Wight cottages and check on what the special events are scheduled at the Steam Railway so you can properly plan the itinerary of your Isle of Wight holidays. For you to really enjoy, schedule one whole day for this activity. The train ride alone is all of five miles from Smallbrook Junction to Ashey and Havenstreet and all the way up to Wotton. After the ride, spend some time exploring the museum and Haven Falconry. Your kids will enjoy the children's play area while you take a stroll on the woodland walk. When you hear your stomachs growling, try the special treats at the Refreshment Rooms like "Engine Drivers Lunch" and more. Bring home some souvenirs from the gift shop. You will be missing a lot in your Isle of Wight holidays if you do not include the Isle of Wight Steam Railway in your itinerary.
