Was thinking of getting a cottage there for familly holiday with 3 small kids for a week at Easter

Beach is a must for the kids

Anyone got any recommendations, tips or places to avoid?

Thanks :D

Bembridge is nice and quiet, I would avoid Sandown with small kids in tow.

Do you mean Isle of Wight ?

Blackgang Chine is decent for a kids day out (or used to be)

Yep Blackgang Chine is nice with kids

The Tennyson Trail is a nice walk 15 miles - you can do bits of it.

The Spyglass in Ventnor is a great pub for an all dayer (not sure that's an option with kids) - it does decent pub grub too.

Alum Bay has colourful sand.

Osbourne House.

Bembridge good for kids

Carisbrooke Castle.

The Garlic Farm (better than it sounds - not hard)

Avoid Sandown, Newport, Godshill.
