Attending the State of the Island debate this evening. Curious to hear the different perspectives, ideas, and priorities for the island’s future. Looking forward to an interesting discussion.

🎶 Just 7 days to go until the Isle of Wight Festival…

The Island is starting to feel that buzz, music, visitors arriving, and that early summer atmosphere building ☀️

If you're heading over, it’s the perfect excuse to make a weekend of it.

We love hearing how guests spend their time on the Island 💛

Some fill their days exploring, others slow right down and enjoy quiet mornings and evening walks.

There’s no right way to do it and that’s the beauty of it.

Planning your own June escape?

Local Favourite Spotlight 💛

If you’re heading to Yarmouth, we always recommend PO41 Coffee House ☕

A relaxed spot for breakfast, brunch or a good coffee before a wander along the harbour.

It’s places like this that really make an Island stay feel special.

Perfect if you’re staying nearby at one of our West Wight homes…

✨ Yarmouth Taittinger Regatta is almost here… ⛵🥂

There’s something truly special about the West Wight at this time of year, the harbour filled with sails, the gentle buzz of the regatta, and that relaxed yet refined coastal atmosphere that makes Yarmouth so loved.

Whether you’re heading over for the racing, the social scene, or simply to soak it all in with a glass of something chilled… it’s the perfect weekend escape 🌊

And while summer is on the horizon, it’s also the perfect moment to plan ahead…

Christmas cottage in the heart of Yarmouth is now open for bookings.

Have you experienced the regatta before, or is it on your list this year? ⛵✨

A little glimpse into one of our cosy coastal homes, Anchor cottage, Cowes ✨

Soft interiors, light-filled spaces, and somewhere you can truly switch off after a day exploring.

We always think your stay should feel just as special as the destination.

June weekends are booking up quickly, so if you're thinking about a last-minute escape, now’s a lovely time to plan 💛

One of our favourite things about June… coastal walks without the crowds 🌿

From Compton Bay through to Freshwater, it’s all about open space, sea views, and slowing things down.

We love finishing this walk with a stop at a local café for something sweet 🍰

Have you got a favourite post-walk spot?

A rare Cowes Week opportunity… ⛵✨

The Cottage is now available, a luxury waterside property with its own private pontoon, set in one of the very best locations for Cowes Week ⚓🌊

Enjoy front-row views of the sailing, step straight out onto the water, and experience the energy of Cowes from your own private base.

Properties like this very rarely come up during Cowes Week and it won’t stay available for long.

If you’re looking for something truly special this summer, this is it 💫

Send us a message or book directly to secure your stay.

✨ From a Wight Escapes Guest to a Host… a Beautiful New Beginning in Yarmouth ✨

We absolutely love stories like this 💙

The lovely owners of Christmas Cottage grew up on the Island, always dreaming of one day owning a cottage along one of Yarmouth’s most beautiful streets.

Over the years, they returned time and again as Wight Escapes guests, drawn back by that familiar feeling the Island has a way of giving.
And when this charming cottage came up for sale, it felt meant to be.

What began as a lifelong dream soon became something even more… a deepened love for the Isle of Wight, a true sense of belonging, and the decision to make it part of their story.

Our latest homeowner enjoys sailing, painting, and those slower, sea-salt days we all come here for. And now, they’re opening the doors to their own beautiful retreat in the heart of Yarmouth.

We’re incredibly proud to be part of that journey.

Christmas Cottage blends character, comfort and thoughtful design, perfectly positioned for harbour views, boutique shops, and everything that makes Yarmouth so special 🌊

Beautifully personal touches run throughout the home, with the owner’s own artwork thoughtfully displayed and available to purchase for those who fall in love with a piece.

It’s more than just a holiday home, it’s a place born from a genuine love of the Island, ready to be shared with others looking to create their own memories here.

✨ Now open for bookings, if you’re tempted by a Yarmouth escape, we’d love to welcome you 💙

For more details, we’d be delighted to hear from you…

June has arrived and the Island is looking beautiful 🌼

Longer evenings, sea air, and that feeling that summer is just getting started…

There’s something about this time of year that feels calmer, before the busier weeks ahead.
If you’ve been thinking about a getaway, June really is one of those perfect in-between months ☀️
