Lovely island. Can go all over it in a week. I liked carisbroke castle and osbourne house which have great history. The needles is good and there are some lovely towns and beaches. Just go round it all

I cannot see the appeal at all unless you are 60+

It's like one huge retirement village and a bit like stepping back in time

Wait for a response from Peter Venkman, as he is over there now (or on his way back).

We are taking the two youngest, so it sounds ideal.

Loads to keep them entertained then. Needles,blackgang chine,and the beach resorts are nice. Loads to do around Ryde particularly if the weather is good. Like i said you can get around the island over a week. I will have to go back myself as it really is lovely there(been twice)

Agree with all of the comments above, nice and relaxing, plenty to do. And it is like going back in time, but that's not a bad thing.
