Isle Of Wight

Last week we checked in to this so called

waterside restaurant-with-rooms, The Little Gloster

Once on the island we relaxed immediately and boy I can tell you it's been so lovely to sleep with the doors wide open all night, and the sound of the sea gently lapping on the shore below.

An hour and a half with the train to Southampton then we took the ferry over to Isle Of Wight

An escape from the city, the perfect spot for us Londoners during the half term break

The Little Gloster is an award winning family run restaurant and look who was invited in to the kitchen to help out! 

We first saw this place as it was featured on TV, and then we've read numerous excellent reviews in travel magazines and online, and lets say we have not been disappointed!

Only 25 mins on the Red Funnel passenger ferry and we arrived in paradise 

Literally jumping for joy

Difficult to fault this place with scenic location, attentive staff and superb menu.

We lucked out with the weather too

A few min taxi and you're in the town of Cowes 

Breakfast with panoramic sea views 

A fresh locally caught crab salad with this sunset - pure bliss! 

Island life 

Ben's (the owner and head chef) grandmother who is his inspiration for this place, happens to be Danish and sometimes pitch in 

Mingling with other guests in the non stuffy relaxed bar 

We managed to secure the best room - there are only three so we had to book way in advance. High-quality furniture, Nespresso machine, sheepskins and a super comfy bed

Our garden suite bang on the beach was simply unbeatable. Until next time, Little Gloster!
