Waterside Location -
Cowes, Isle of Wight

The Red Funnel Car Ferry runs from Southampton to East Cowes on an hourly basis (please check timetables) and is the most direct access from the mainland, the crossing takes just under an hour. Seymour Court is within walking distance of the Ferry Terminal.

Wight Link runs from Portsmouth to Fishbourne and from Lymington to Yarmouth.

Seymour Court is a private development of nine properties, situated on the water’s edge and where the Medina river estuary meets Cowes Harbour. It is the perfect spot for all types of boat and people-watching. Enjoy fishing or crabbing by the sea wall and use the communal BBQ by arrangement.

The floating bridge provides easy access to West Cowes, where there is a vast array of pubs, restaurants and shops, such as Jack Wills, Henri Lloyd, Musto, Wight Stuff, Chathams and many more besides.

Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s palace by the sea is a short walk away. “After first visiting Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, England’s longest-reigning monarch wrote: ‘It is impossible to imagine a prettier spot’.. Look out for Victorian opulence, extravagant interiors, and jaw-dropping Indian décor in the Durbar Room. However, Osborne was also built as a family home and as you walk through the Queen’s bedroom, the nursery rooms and even royal bathrooms, you get an intimate glimpse into royal family life. Children will love the Swiss Cottage with its child-size furniture and also enjoy letting off steam in the play area. There are acres of grounds and gardens to relax in, horse and carriage rides to take and a delightful restaurant and café. It is not surprising that Osborne House, come rain or shine, is one of the Isle of Wight’s top attractions for the whole family and provides a great day out.” English Heritage www.english-heritage.org.uk
