Ferries: We recommend that if you are travelling to the Isle of Wight, you should book the ferries early due to the excessive bookings at holiday periods. There are currently three options available depending on your preferred route:

National Trust Holidays guests receive a 10% discount with Wightlink ferries between Lymington and Yarmouth, Portsmouth and Fishbourne and the catamaran between Portsmouth and Ryde (foot passenger service only).  Follow this link to access Wightlink's booking system. The discount is applied once you have selected the crossing times.

2) Red Funnel Ferries - www.redfunnel.co.uk Travel Southampton/East Cowes.

3) Hovertravel - www.hovertravel.co.uk – foot passenger hovercraft service only from Portsmouth to Ryde

Offers: Guests will have free access (during opening hours) to all Isle of Wight National Trust properties. Please take your holiday confirmation invoice as proof of eligibility to gain entry.

Please note: In these small cottages, the size of the hot water tank is limited. You will need to allow at least half an hour for the water to reheat after a bath or shower. The hot water is set on constant and the temperature is set to the maximum permitted.
