We were only there for 2 days, went to Obourne House and the Steam Railway, really enjoyed both. Also walked along the prom at Shanklin Beach. We are in PREGO (Italian Reastraunt in East Cowes), very good food at reasonable prices. Ate in 1 day, take away the next, both lovely

There is really nothing in East Cowes, however it is a 2 min ferry ride to Cowes. The ferry goes every few mins, either foot passenger or car. No booking needed. The ferry puts you in the middle of town. Highly recommend to stay in East Cowes and ferry to Cowes. Far less expensive.

An easy walk down to the waterfront. Take the floating bridge {chain ferry} across to Cowes. Lovely little town to walk around. Good pub called The Lifeboat within walking distance of the Prince of Wales, good food and great view of the boats.

Liked the attitude of most people around the shops as friendly and helpful. Does have quite a few hills to walk up and down so not suitable for people who struggle walking a lot Tried the chain ferry for a first time and it is quick. Hardest part for us was going back on the car ferry as no seats for us to sit down and very full. People were not spaced out as they were on our trip over there. Not enjoyable standing 1 hour on a evening.

Easy Cowes isn’t as big as Cowes, but they have a few shops, small Co-op and some restaurants, we ate one night at Sea Breeze fish and chip restaurant, the chips were lovely, and very large potions. An ideal base, close to the ferry port, and most other places.

St.Mildreds church was nice to visit for the history. Overall it’s the scenery of the Island & little villages which was nice to see. Osborne House was unfortunately closed to the public,but the grounds were open. A car for an Island visit is a must,I would suggest.
