What Should I Do With Two Days In Cowes?

If you have 2 days to spend in Cowes, here are a few suggestions:

  • Visit Osborne House - Queen Victoria's former residence and explore the beautiful gardens. Allow 2-3 hours for the visit.
  • See the yachts at the Cowes Harbour - take a stroll along the harbour and watch the boats sail by. This can take 1-2 hours depending on how long you want to spend there.
  • Take a trip to the Needles - admire the stunning cliffs and maybe go for a cliff walk. This can take around half a day.
  • Visit Carisbrooke Castle – a historic castle dating back to the Norman Era. Take a guided tour and experience the history of the castle. Allow at least 2-3 hours for the visit.
  • Relax on the beach - spend some time soaking up the sun and enjoying the sand and sea. This can take as long as you'd like!

For places to stay, there are various options including:

  • The Duke of York - a historic, family-run hotel with sea views.
  • The Fountain Inn - a 17th century inn located in the heart of Cowes.
  • North House - a boutique hotel situated in a Georgian townhouse.

There are plenty of options to suit different budgets and preferences.
