The Caledonian
About
On Isle of Wight, The Caledonian is a hotel at 116 High St, Newport PO30 1TH, United Kingdom. It sits in Newport, the island's main town, with Ryde, Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor, Freshwater and Yarmouth all within reach.
The Caledonian is known for its position in Newport, placing guests in the centre of the island's principal town rather than in a coastal resort. First-time visitors should expect a base in Newport, where the town's shops and services sit on the doorstep and the island's other towns are a short journey away. Visitors rate The Caledonian 4.8 out of 5 across 45 reviews, a strong showing for a hotel of this size. Reaching the hotel from the main resorts is straightforward: Newport lies centrally, so guests arriving from Ryde, Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor, Freshwater or Yarmouth can all use the town as a hub.
The Caledonian's website, https://www.barrheadtravel.co.uk/miscellaneous/new-branches/isle-of-wight, provides further details about the hotel.
Summer on the Isle of Wight brings long daylight hours and busy ferries, so booking crossings early helps, and the island's seafood — crab, lobster, scallops, mackerel and oysters — is worth seeking out at local tables.
