Hello all

We haven't booked any holiday this year yet because other major family issues have meant that we may not be able to.

However, we find we have a few days in a "window" from about 6th August (a Thursday) to 18th August (a Tuesday) for a break. Perhaps we can take the "Saturday to Saturday" week in the middle, 8th to 15th August.

We want to go to the IOW (again; have been before) but don't know what accommodation to try. We have previously gone self catering caravans but maybe this year we want more comfort so we are thinking of perhaps hotels, guest houses, a flat to rent or something similar.

We are ... mum & dad, both early 50's, son, 15, daughter, 10 all fit & able BUT we are also bringing MIL who is 84 and not the most mobile of people.

We are traveling by car and MIL has a disabled Blue Badge parking permit which may help us.

I think Ventnor is out due to all the hills so we are looking for somewhere else, maybe flatter.

Anyone have any personal experiences of hotels/guest houses/flats that are pleasant to stay in and could fit our party? (close to a beach would be wonderful)

All suggestions welcome and thank you for your time and trouble helping us.
