Location Information

Ryde Town

Ryde is the largest town on the Isle of Wight, and with its prominent position along the seafront and hovercraft and passenger ferry links it is little wonder it is often referred to as “The Gateway to the Island”.

In addition to an expanse of sandy beaches which stretch right along the town, Ryde has a great selection of boutique shops, museums and galleries for you to visit along with lots of other things to see and do along its esplanade.

Ryde offers a great variety of things to do which will interest all ages, not least of which are the hovercraft and catamaran ferry from which you can travel to and from the mainland.

Hovertravel are the world’s oldest hovercraft operator and operate the last remaining hovercraft passenger service in Britain, whereas a trip on the Wightlink catamaran service will take you down Ryde’s recently restored early 19th century pier, which carries both vehicle traffic and train services.

Head along Ryde esplanade and you will encounter a number of great places for family entertainment, including the Superbowl and LaserQuest.

Further along there is a fun fair for young children and a very popular canoe lake which leads on to Ryde’s sandy beaches.

At low tide the sea goes out a long way making it a popular place for sports and outdoor activities, and a regular venue for beach soccer tournaments.

Incredible hidden gem - the cottage is brilliant and the private cabin and jetty really make it!

What a fantastic relaxing week! The cottage is beautiful, felt so at home.
Weather was so warm and sunny, managed to have a couple of BBQ's down in the riverside lodge. (What a great little place)
Would love to return one day, we even walked to The Sloop Inn 3 times in the dark!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage. xx

A lovely relaxing weekend. Kipper Cottage is our favourite place to escape the city.
It is peaceful and beautiful with singing birds and little red squirrels running around the garden.
We ate breakfast outside on the patio in the sun even in October!
We hope to return soon.

Wonderful time had by all, loved seeing all the wildlife hope to be back soon.

Thank you for helping to make Em's 21st a special one.
Weather not as good as June, but still loved it here. Looking forward
to next June and September 2019.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, revisiting some of our favourite places.
This must be one of the best self catering locations on the Island.
