About Glamping at Island Riding Centre

Tucked into the Isle of Wight countryside near Newport, this tiny equestrian retreat offers a handful of glamping pitches alongside its riding centre – perfect if you're after something peaceful and family-friendly. The on-site bar and restaurant mean you needn't venture far for meals, though nearby Newport has plenty of alternatives. Facilities include free wifi, showers, and a play area, plus barbecues are welcome. The centre's own horses and cycling routes close by add activity options beyond the beach.

At around £660 a night, prices reflect the premium glamping experience rather than casual camping, but the 5-star Google rating suggests guests find it worth the outlay. Note that dogs and other pets aren't permitted – understandable given the horses on site, though it may rule this one out for some families.

I had an amazing few days Glamping with my wife and two young children. The tent was large with excellent facilities, including two bathrooms with showers that always had plenty of hot water and three bedrooms. The outside area is surrounded by a fence and is perfect for the children to run around safely and play. There was a lovely community feeling with the guests in the other tents and waking up surrounded by fields of horses and sheep was an amazing experience as well. Paul and Louise are brilliant hosts and made us feel very welcome. There is also an excellent selection of food and drink options in GGs. We got home yesterday and my kids are desperate to go back already.

We had a wonderful experience at Island Riding, staying in Gaucho. We loved the setup of the tents, feeling much more like proper rooms than tents with showers and washing up facilities inside, plus a covered area out the front for eating and proper beds. We had lots of fun riding the horses and feeding the piggies! Paul + Louise were super helpful, quickly resolving queries and on hand to help. The highlight for us was the enclosed nature of the tents, so children from the different tents could play whilst we sat on our picnic benches and watched them make friends. A real gem. We loved it and hope to be back!

We all had a great time glamping at Island Riding in Newport on the Isle of Wight in August. There was lots of things to do and being in the centre of the Island it was very easy to get to other local attractions. The girls loved being able to horse ride inside the horse riding show arena and being able to go off and explore within the site. We all loved the outside experience and would highly recommend to others.

Amazing site for families. Safe to let kids just run around. Close to ferry terminal about 10/15 drive. Highly recommend
