We also have stopped visiting the IOW and we live virtually across the water in the Solent area. Not only are the fares to get over pure extortion 'The Island' itself doesn't hold the attraction it used to have and I grew up over there and loved it dearly.   The roads are in an appalling state although I gather there is a programme in hand to sort them out - could take some time! Also it's all looking a bit seedy in places despite a naturally beautiful aspect. The cost of eating out are pretty steep as are entrance fees to often somewhat disappointing 'attractions'.   Think the IOW Tourist Board have some work to do otherwise they are going they will lose their holiday trade and lets face it it's about all it has at present.
We have friends living on the island who are livid about the ever increasing ferry prices.
