For decades the Isle of Wight has been known for seaside kitsch, sticks of rock and families carting around buckets and spades. But thanks to free-thinking music festival goers, fresh seafood and a host of cool bars, it is quickly becoming a whole lot cooler.

In terms of accomodation, the island boasts everything from kooky camper vans, to yurts, to the newly refurbished boutique hotel, The George. In 2019, The George Hotel and Beach Club underwent a £750,000 renovation, transforming the entire bolt-hole into a must-visit destination.
