The Bay Colwell

An Explorer's Haven

Or a relaxing retreat to escape to. Holidays at The Bay Colwell aren’t just about exploring timeless forests, alabaster cliffs and heather-clad hills.

There’s sumptuous cottages, coastal beach houses with distant sea views and a heated swimming pool waiting for you and the family too. Whatever the season you know the Isle of Wight will put on her finest show. And The Bay Colwell is the perfect location to enjoy it - walk to The Needles and marvel at the winter wind sweeping through the towering rocks, wander around Yarmouth and watch boat masts swaying or stroll across to Headon Warren to breath-in the scent of blooming gorse in early spring.

Open from February until November, stay at The Bay Colwell and you can explore what the Isle of Wight has to offer while the flowers are blossoming, the sun is shining, or the leaves are falling.
