Explore

From the moment the ferry sets sail across the Solent to the magical Isle of Wight, your Island adventure will begin. With the perfect combination of beautiful beaches, miles of coastal walks and stunning countryside on the doorstep, you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to exploring. Stargazers' Retreat sits on the southerly edge of the Island, close to the village of Niton where you can stock up on holiday goodies at the local shop or dine out at one of the traditional pubs. You can even hire an E-bike from Zoom E-Bike Hire in the village and explore the many picturesque cycling routes nearby, all with minimal traffic. For lovers of the outdoors, head to St Catherine's lighthouse for stunning views or wander down to Castle Haven beach, a hidden gem.

Just a short drive away, the town of Ventnor is perfect, boasting an array of shops, delicious eateries and a traditional beachfront. Whilst you are here, visit Ventnor Haven Fishery where you can pick up the freshest of the day's catch to cook at your hideaway, or visit the beautiful botanic gardens.

A little further afield, Freshwater is ideal for swimmers, kayakers and paddle boarders. After a day of adventures on the water, try the quirky Piano Café for scrumptious home cooked food. A getaway on the Island would not be complete without seeing the iconic Needles, so why not make a day of it, take the chairlift at Alum Bay (not for the fainthearted but there are steps as an alternative), or hire a speedboat to take you for a close-up view. You never know, you could even spot the odd dolphin!

However, you plan to spend your island getaway, Stargazers' Retreat has all the ingredients for the perfect holiday.
