Festive Idyllic Isle of Wight

The Isle of Wight is renowned for its mild climate and is a highly popular destination, with over half of the island designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is home to award-winning beaches, spectacular scenery, and a rich royal heritage. During our exclusive Christmas visit, we will explore what was once Queen Victoria's beloved seaside residence, Osborne House, where we will enjoy afternoon tea. You'll have the opportunity to explore the house and its beautiful grounds before we visit Carisbrooke Castle. This impressive fortress, located in the heart of the Isle of Wight, has served as an artillery stronghold and a royal summer residence, making it a must-see attraction. While on the island, we will also take in the stunning views of the colourful sands at Freshwater Bay and the iconic Needles.
