Was is Whitecliiff Bay, that's right on a beach/clifftop.

Hi Wayne

Languard Manor at Shanklin is near to the town has swimming pool, club bar etc

and facilities for children, buses near the site to all parts of the Island

just a suggestion

Regards Iris

Whitecliff bay is good

Although the showers are not the best/or the worst,

large club on site

a bit unorganized when you arrive but we had a great week there and got a good price on ferry with them

We found The Orchards a bit cramped in pitch sizes when we went.  We were almost  on intimate terms with our neighbours.   Our Avondale Grampian at the time wasn't enormously long, but people tripped over the tow bar too, even though it was as far back as possible

I agree with Jenny the Dorset Belle the Orchards is a nice site but can be too busy and tightly packed it feels too cramped with almost constant streams of people walking / riding past your van. We were also unfortunate to have two caravans opposite who arrived together with 11 people and two dogs thankfully it was at the end of our stay but we cut it short by one day. The C & CC site looks OK would not return to Orchards.

thanks all keep me posted . Whats the best way to get the best ferry deal ???????????????????? 

cheers wayne

The best way is to save up Tesco Clubcard points and buy your ferry tickets with that (Wightlink).

Failing that, booking via The Caravan Club is quite a saving too, I've heard.

Finally, some of the sites offer their own ferry packages - again quite a saving over the normal fare.  The Orchards does this, and has an indoor/outdoor pool and other facilities.
