If you’re a #foodie and looking for a fantastic place to eat on the #isleofwight in this lovely bank holiday weekend weather there’s probably few places better that the RT Café Grill & Thompson's in Ryde with lovely sea views across the Solent. @VisitIOW@RThompsonIOW
It’s the #Rydabus event at the @isleofwightbusmuseum this weekend and our regular bus enthusiast visitors have brought two buses with them to participate.
Eagle eyed will see that both these have HW (#isleofwight) plates and both previously saw service with @SouthernVectis
An early morning shot of Tennyson Down #IsleofWight taken earlier today. Fascinating how the early morning light draws out the striations in the chalk in a way we don’t normally see. @VisitIOW
A fantastic time on the Solent watching day 1 of the WASZP GP open hosted by the Royal Victoria Yacht Club.
These boats are amazing with foils so they lift right out of the water.
We also found ourselves admiring two of @wightlinkferry finest as they passed nearby

1️⃣ week to go until the Isle of Wight Spring Walking Festival!🌿🥾
It’s nearly time to lace up those walking boots and explore miles of stunning coastline, countryside and hidden gems across our island.

A lovely marina-side lunch today at a new restaurant for 2026, The Cockle at Island Harbour, recently opened by the owners of the highly regarded Fighting Cocks pub which has been a recommended eatery of ours for many years. @tfciow@VisitWight
STOP PRESS: due to a late cancellation we've got availability in our lovely luxury double room, Tennyson View for this weekend, the weekend of the Isle of Wight @UltraChallenge, just a stone's throw from the start/finish...

It's #IsleOfWight@UltraChallenge time again and we're right next door to the start wishing all the competitors the very best of luck this weekend. @VisitIOW
Did you know we accept helicopters, whether it’s to stay with us or visit @thewightmouse just across the road or fantastic #isleofwight landmarks like the Needles.
Here’s one of our regular visitors G-ELLI arriving today.
Find us on @_helipaddy and @VisitIOW
We’ve had solar power since 2012 but since the post-covid surge in energy costs we have invested in more Solar as well as batteries.
Just two days ago we reached the 100MegaWatt hours milestone on our original array, but we’ve now had our first “net zero” day in 2026. #netzero
You’re closer than you think… 🌊
As the ferry pulls away, everything changes. The noise fades. Your shoulders drop. You breathe differently.😌
This isn’t just getting away… it’s letting go.
On the #IsleofWight, adventure and calm live side by side.
Ready to experience it?🤩
Many thanks to @HovertravelLtd for looking after my elderly mum and me this morning as I took her back to the mainland after a holiday visit, especially coming to check we were ok and giving us access to seats as we waited for her onward lift to arrive. @VisitIOW
