According to Lonely Planet, ferry hopping around Scotland is one of its top six best road trips in the UK, especially the islands of the west coast on the ferry network. They suggest starting the journey in Glasgow, filled with art galleries, design, food and pubs.
Ryde, the island’s largest town is a must-visit. It boasts the second-longest seaside pier in the UK and fabulous beaches. For history lovers, Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s former holiday retreat, offers a fascinating glimpse into royal life. As for where to stay, Whitecliff Bay is a great base for exploring some the island’s sandy shores, charming cafés, and plenty of family-friendly attractions.
Sailing fanatics will know that Cowes Week, from August 2 to 8, is the highlight of the social and sporting calendar. It’s best to avoid this time for more preferential rates in hotels. My pick would beoverlooking Ventnor Bay. This bijou property with six rooms has regular wine tastings and dinners, and is decorated with panache, period features, plants and paintings. Guests will also have a great vantage point to see sea-life.
