Isle of Wight Hotel and Ferry Deals

It depends on the kind of break you want. The east is best for sandy beaches and seaside towns such as Ryde, Sandown and Shanklin. The west is ideal for dramatic coastline, walking and landmarks like The Needles and Tennyson Down.

Bembridge Coast puts you close to the east’s beaches and harbours, while Norton Grange is perfectly placed for exploring West Wight.

Late spring to early autumn is the most popular time to visit, with the warmest weather and long days for beaches and coastal walks. May, June and September are often quieter than the summer holidays, while autumn and winter bring peaceful walks and cosy evenings.

With indoor pools and nightly entertainment at both of our Isle of Wight hotels, there’s plenty to enjoy whatever the weather.

Three or four days is enough to see the island’s highlights at a relaxed pace. That gives you time to explore the east and west coasts, visit a castle or two and still enjoy time to unwind.

A short break at Bembridge Coast or Norton Grange makes it easy to see the best of the island without rushing.

Yarmouth is often named one of the prettiest towns on the Isle of Wight, with its harbour, castle and historic wooden pier. Godshill’s thatched cottages, Shanklin Old Village and the Victorian streets of Ventnor are also favourites.

Norton Grange is just five minutes from Yarmouth, making it a lovely base for exploring West Wight.

At both of Warner’s Isle of Wight hotels, Bembridge Coast and Norton Grange, you can add a discounted return car ferry from £45 per car to selected breaks when you book. Simply choose your route and sailing times at checkout, and your tickets will be emailed to you before you travel.

No, you don’t need a passport to visit the Isle of Wight. The island is part of England, so travelling there by ferry from the mainland is a domestic journey.  

You can take your car to the Isle of Wight on a vehicle ferry from Portsmouth to Fishbourne, Lymington to Yarmouth, or Southampton to East Cowes. Crossings take between around 30 and 60 minutes.

Norton Grange is just half a mile from Yarmouth’s ferry terminal, and Bembridge Coast is around 25 minutes’ drive from Fishbourne.

There are no commercial flights to the Isle of Wight. The island’s airfields at Sandown and Bembridge are for private aircraft only. Most visitors fly into Southampton or Bournemouth, or a London airport, and complete their journey by ferry.  

The two sit at opposite ends of the Isle of Wight, about 50 minutes apart, and each offers a different kind of stay. Bembridge Coast is a traditional coastal hotel on the island’s eastern tip. Its original 1905 building has royal connections, and it sits in 23 acres of gardens a short walk from the beach. You’ll find rooms, suites and chalets, with sea-view balconies in some Royale Rooms. There’s an indoor pool, tropicarium and spa, and West End-style shows in The Admiral’s Club.

Norton Grange is a coastal village in the west, half a mile from Yarmouth’s ferry terminal. You stay in chalets or garden suites set in parkland and award-winning gardens, with an aviary and plenty of space to wander. Evenings centre on live music, comedy and quizzes in The Live Lounge, and The Needles is just 15 minutes away.

Choose Bembridge Coast for a classic seaside hotel close to the east’s sandy beaches, or Norton Grange for a relaxed village stay near the island’s most dramatic coastline.
