Insider's Guide: Isle of Wight

Welcome to the Insider's Guide to the Isle of Wight. As the home of Dog Owners Guide and my hometown, this is a genuine local's guide to exploring the island with your dog. Rather than listing every dog friendly place on the Isle of Wight, we've handpicked the cafés, pubs, accommodation, walks, beaches, attractions and hidden gems we'd confidently recommend to friends and family.

Every place in this collection has earned its spot because it offers something special, whether that's incredible food, breathtaking views, a warm welcome for dogs or an experience that's simply worth travelling for. Whether you're visiting the Isle of Wight for the first time or returning to discover somewhere new, this insider's guide will help you experience the very best the island has to offer with your four-legged companion.
