Traveler advice
Book before you go
The Penguin Parade
Numbers are often restricted at the Penguin Parade so it’s always a good idea to book online prior to arriving on the Island. For an up close and personal experience the Underground Viewing is highly recommended.
Getting around
Out and about
The island is viewed by its residents as a Wildlife Sanctuary so travelling by car can be slow at times, but you’re on holidays and Island Time is definitely happening right here and right now! From your accomodation you will be able to walk to the beach, the shops, the Golf Club and restaurants.
Getting around
Location
Our accommodation is located 3 mins walk from the beautiful North facing beach of Cowes. We are in between the Silverleaves area and the Cowes Esplanade with the beach being visible from our driveway. Without any through traffic, our street is generally quiet and has a back drop of the mature gum trees in the Cowes Golf Club.
