About

The shop trades as a gift shop, and shoppers step in for island souvenirs and small presents to carry home.

A 4.3 out of 5 score comes from 6 reviews, a small sample that points to satisfied customers. Newport, Ryde, Cowes and Yarmouth sit within the island's road network, so the shop fits into a wider day out.

British islands have mild, wet and changeable weather warmed by the Gulf Stream, so a waterproof layer is worth packing whatever the forecast. Seafood landed by small boats, including crab, lobster, scallops, mackerel and oysters, features widely in island cooking. Harbours, lifeboat stations and summer regattas shape much of island life.
