Thorness Bay Holiday Park: Plenty of space to burn off energy

General

  • Isle of Wight family park with plenty of organised activities
  • Indoor pool, bar and evening entertainment
  • Kids' club for children up to 11 years old

A lunchtime drink on the terrace of the Boathouse bar watching the white sails of the yachts zipping across the water, a hop and a skip down the leafy path to the beach for the afternoon, or a fun-filled night of live entertainment in the Showbar… there are many ways to relax at Thorness Bay Holiday Park in Cowes.

Whippersnappers will love whooshing down the slide into the indoor pool before trying out a bit of snorkelling and rollerblading, and they may disappear for some time into the various kids’ clubs, which offer funtastic activities for kids up to 11.

The whole family can get stuck into a range of sports on the all-weather court, and during the organised sessions you could chance your arm at archery or even learn to wield a crossbow.

To complement the usual amenities, there’s a shop and laundry room, an outdoor playground for the little ones, amusements, darts and a pool table – and the occasional bingo session thrown in for fun.

    The night entertainment derek sandy and the Madonna tribute act

    Disliked: 

    Expensive. Lots of litter. 2 broken gates on children's playground. Every single cash point was out of order. 2 vending machines out of order. No popcorn. The chippy ran out of food at 9pm. The toilets stank so bad they were absolutely disgusting and dirty. Bins with no lids attracted hundreds of wasps. Dirty windows in bar area. The shops prices were triple of what should be. Very rude receptionist. Broken fences, overflowing bins. Really gone down hill. We won't return.

    The staff were always helpful and friendly. Entertainment for the kids was good , they had a good time. Food was good too.

    Disliked: 

    Toilet block . Just was attended to enough. Most of the time it was dirty. And very dated. One cubicle I went into had poo smeared up the wall. With no paper in any of them. Didn’t want the children to use them tbh.

Directions


Please note: All distances on this page are calculated "as the crow flies" - please check actual distance depending on your mode of travel using the Get directions button above.

Local attractions

Visitors will find lots of yachts and powerboats to drool over in Cowes harbour, and the town is also home to Osborne House, the country retreat of Queen Victoria and her brood. It’s well worth a nose around this magnificent house and its lovely gardens, and the Victorian afternoon teas aren’t half bad either…

Since the Isle of Wight is such a bijou island, it doesn’t take long to reach other top attractions such as Carisbrooke Castle, the posh pile where King Charles I was imprisoned, and the island’s heritage steam railway, which regularly runs themed events.

For those who fancy a change from the beach at Thorness Bay, the shallow waters at Colwell Bay beach, about 25 minutes away by car, are great for swimming, as well as watersports such as jetskiing and windsurfing.

Must see

  • Carisbrooke Castle (3.9 miles)
  • Osborne House (4.1 miles)
  • Isle of Wight Steam Railway (6.7 miles)

National Trust

  • Newtown Old Town Hall (2.3 miles)
