The Wight Holiday Company has some lovely self catering holiday accommodations available and can offer some cracking discounted ferry crossings to accompany your holiday cottage stay. Our self catering holiday properties are all perfectly equipped for families or groups of friends and are ready for you to simply arrive and enjoy, they couldn’t make a more perfect base for exploring everything the Isle of Wight has to offer.
