Getting to Cowes

The Sail Loft is located on Cowes High Street, post code PO31 7RS. It is just two and half hours from the centre of London, making it the ideal weekend getaway.

By Train or Without Your Car

If you are not planning on spending much time outside Cowes there is little need to bring your car. Everything you need in Cowes is within walking distance.

The best crossing is the Red Jet Ferry from Southampton to Cowes which takes less than 30 minutes. Once you arrive the Sail Loft is just a 30 second walk away. 

To get to the Red Jet ferry terminal in Southampton, either take the train to Southampton Central and then get the free bus transfer, or leave your car in the Triangle Car Park by the terminal.

By Car

If you want your car with you on the Isle of Wight, Cowes is easily reached from the mainland by taking the Red Funnel ferry from Southampton into East Cowes and then crossing over on the chain ferry. Alternatively, the ferry from Portsmouth arrives in Fishbourne which is a 30 minute drive away.

There is no parking at the Sail Loft so we would recommend Northwood House car park on Park Road which is just a quarter of a mile away.
