Isle of Wight Christmas

Thats it, it's all booked - we are all off to the Isle of Wight this Christmas. Clarah, me, the three kids and parents are all off for a holiday on the island. We are going to a holiday resort called Gurnard Pines. Gurnard is just outside Cowes and only about 10mins away by car from the ferry port. We'll be staying in a 3 bedroom bungalow but there are lots of different types of accommodation. The facilites look great and there's lots to do and to keep the kids entertained.



  • Play areas for the kids

  • A creche

  • Indoor swimming pool

  • Outdoor swimming pool

  • Tennis courts

  • A bar (Very important, especially when you have two Irish men around)

  • Woodland all around the resort


It's going to be the first time Clarah's been able to bring Ben away on a holiday. Tiernan won't really know whats going on, but by then he should be crawling. I wouldn't be suprised if he can say a few word by then, like "More turkey" lol. Its going to be such a special Christmas with our baby, the kids and my parents flying over from Ireland.



Heres a google map of the are showing the resort of Gurnard Pines (circled in red), the large ferry port to the right and the beach above.





Here's a You Tube video of Gurnard Pines. We are all really looking forward to it.
