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 @VisitIOW

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. Sign up: isleofwightwalkingfestival.co.uk #WeCantWaitToShowYou #IsleofWight

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... airbnb.co.uk/h/tennysonview

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

Come and stay with us on the #isleofwight for a fantastic U.K. #staycation

A lovely sunset here at Chale Bay Farm tonight. #sunset #isleofwight #selfcatering @VisitWight @WightVisitor

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

Ah, the joys of being by the Mediterranean… oh wait, it’s the Solent in Seaview #IsleofWight 😀 @VisitIOW #staycation

The sun is setting on a fabulous Day1 of the @ChaleShow here on the sunny #IsleofWight. Looking forward to day 2 tomorrow. @VisitIOW

@RedFunnelFerry negotiating the start area of the Fastnet race earlier this afternoon…

Have you wondered why our apartments are called Needles View, Tennyson View, Purbeck View, and St Catherine’s View? This is why…
