Visitors reach Isle of Wight by vehicle ferry from Portsmouth, Lymington and Southampton, or by the foot service, and summer brings long daylight hours with crowded sailings. Island shops and harbourside cafés sell smoked fish, island cheeses, fudge and bakery bread, which suits a self-catering stay. Weather across Britain's islands is mild, wet and changeable, warmed by the Gulf Stream and often windy, so layers help. The cottages sit close to Freshwater and Yarmouth on the island's western side, within reach of the main resorts.
