Nodes Point Holiday Park
Nodes Point Holiday Park is a Parkdean Resorts self-catering park on a hillside above its own beach near St Helens, on the north-east coast of the Isle of Wight. Families come for the direct beach access at the foot of the site, an indoor pool with a four-lane waterslide, the harbour and sea views from the higher units and a dog-friendly island base for the beaches and days out.

Is it worth it?
The quick read before the detail: who this park suits, what you get for the money and the facts to skim first.
Nodes Point is a self-catering holiday park run by Parkdean Resorts, on a hillside near St Helens village on the north-east coast of the Isle of Wight. It's a spread of static caravans, lodges and chalets, with 22 glamping safari tents and a touring and camping area, stepping down a slope towards the sea. The draw that sets it apart from the group's other island parks is the beach at the foot of the site, with St Helens Beach a short walk from the lower lodges and Priory Bay along the same stretch of coast, plus harbour and sea views from the higher units. The pool is indoors, with a four-lane waterslide, and there's a free programme of tots activities through the day.
It suits families who want the beach on the doorstep, sea and harbour views and a dog-friendly island base, and who are happy to drive for days out. It's less of a fit if you'd find a hillside hard work with a pushchair, since the site slopes steeply and parking isn't always right beside your unit, or if you want an outdoor pool on the park, since Nodes Point has only the indoor one. It also tends to be the most expensive of Parkdean's four island parks. With a baby it's worth two thoughts at booking: a roomier caravan grade gives more floor space for a travel cot, and where your unit sits on the slope decides whether you get the views up top or the shortest walk to the beach down below.
Best for
You want the beach at the foot of the park, sea and harbour views, an indoor pool with a waterslide, a free programme for younger children and a dog-friendly island break, and you're happy to drive.
Maybe not for
You'd find a hillside hard with a pushchair, you want an outdoor pool on the park or you're after the cheapest island park.

What stands out
The beach and harbour views at the foot of the site, and review scores among the best of Parkdean's four island parks.
What to check
Whether your unit sits high for the views or low for the beach, the older bathrooms some reviews flag and that childcare isn't provided.
Where is it?
Near St Helens on the north-east coast of the Isle of Wight, about 4 miles (7 km) from the Fishbourne car ferry.
Quick facts for families
What the park is like
Where it sits, how the sloping site is laid out, what your unit's position on the slope decides and the nature reserve on the doorstep.
Nodes Point sits on the north-east coast of the island near St Helens village, about 4 miles (6 km) east of Ryde and 2 miles (3 km) north-west of Bembridge, on a hillside that drops towards the sea and the harbour. The elevation is the thing that shapes a stay here. The caravans at the top of the park get the best harbour and sea views, looking across St Helens Harbour and out to the Solent, while the units at the lower end sit closest to the beach and involve the least walking. The site is properly hilly, and one recurring note from families is that it's hard to picture in advance where your particular unit will fall in relation to the beach and the restaurant, so it's worth asking the park about the position of the one you book.
That slope is the practical trade-off. Parking is available but not guaranteed right beside your accommodation for every unit type, and Parkdean's own advice is that you may need to park in a communal area and walk to the unit. With a car full of gear, a pushchair and a baby, a lower unit near the beach or a paid dedicated parking spot both take some of the uphill work out of the week. What you get in return for the slope is the outlook, which is why the higher caravans and the hot-tub lodges come through so often in what families say about the place.
The coastline the park backs onto is quiet. The St Helens Duver, a National Trust sand-dune and scrubland nature reserve, sits alongside the beach and is reachable on foot from the park, one of the island's more natural and less developed stretches of coast. For the wider island, its beaches and when to visit, our Isle of Wight guide covers the region in full.
Getting there
The car ferries, the Parkdean discount and getting about once you're on the island.
Nodes Point is a drive-and-ferry holiday. There are no airport transfers or coach packages, so families arrive by car and cross to the island on the ferry. The most direct route is the Wightlink car ferry from Portsmouth, at Gunwharf Quays, to Fishbourne, a crossing of about 45 minutes. Fishbourne is the closest terminal to the park, roughly 4 miles (7 km) and about 12 minutes' drive on, which is one of the shorter ferry-to-park hops of the island parks. The park postcode is PO33 1YA.
Parkdean partners with Wightlink, and booking the crossing through Parkdean rather than direct gets up to 40% off standard fares, with dogs travelling free on that booking. Fares climb a long way from the shoulder months into the July and August peak, so if you're travelling in the school holidays it pays to book the crossing early alongside the accommodation. The alternative is Red Funnel from Southampton to East Cowes, which is a longer drive across the island afterwards, about 13 miles (21 km) and 25 to 35 minutes on to the park, so it's worth pricing both operators for your dates as the cheaper total varies with where you set off from.
Once you're on the island, a car is the practical choice. St Helens village is a short walk for a pub and a shop, and local buses run, with Ryde four miles away holding the passenger ferry and rail links to the mainland. For a week of beaches, attractions and supermarket runs, though, the island's attractions are spread out and having the car makes the days out far easier.
Where you stay
Every caravan and lodge grade with its official minimum size, plus the chalets, the glamping and the touring pitches and their fit for a family with a baby.
All the accommodation is self-catering, graded by Parkdean's tier system. The static caravans run from Bronze up to Gold Premium, and the lodges from Superior through Deluxe to Prestige, with chalets, glamping and touring alongside. Every caravan has central heating, double glazing, a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with a shower and the beds made up before you arrive. Every grade, from the entry Bronze caravan through to the touring pitches, also comes with a Hub pass, Parkdean's name for access to the park's own facilities such as the pool and the activities programme, so that access is already covered in what you book rather than a separate charge. The table below gives each grade's official minimum floor size along with the two things that change as you move up, whether towels are included and whether a hot tub can be added. These are Parkdean's grade-level minimum sizes on the Nodes Point accommodation page, expressed as "at least" that floor area, rather than the measured size of any one unit.
| Grade | Type | Minimum size | Towels | Hot tub |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | Caravan | At least 240 sq ft (22 m²) | Not included | Not available |
| Bronze Premium | Caravan | At least 240 sq ft (22 m²) | Not included | Not available |
| Silver | Caravan | At least 384 sq ft (36 m²) | Not included | Not available |
| Silver Premium | Caravan | At least 384 sq ft (36 m²) | Not included | Not available |
| Gold | Caravan | At least 432 sq ft (40 m²) | Not included | Not available |
| Gold Premium | Caravan | At least 432 sq ft (40 m²) | Not included | Not available |
| Superior | Lodge | At least 456 sq ft (42 m²) | Included | Optional add-on |
| Deluxe | Lodge | At least 800 sq ft (74 m²) | Included | Optional add-on |
| Prestige | Lodge | At least 800 sq ft (74 m²) | Included | Optional add-on |
Towels are the clearest split between the two types. They aren't included in any of the caravan grades, from Bronze to Gold, so bring your own or hire them, and they come as standard in the lodges. Hot tubs are a lodge feature only, added as a paid extra, and there are none on the caravans. Across the caravan grades the extras you can pay for are dedicated parking, decking with outdoor seating, an ensuite and a sea or lake view, so several of the things that make a real difference to a stay here are optional rather than built into the grade.
The caravans come in about 27 named variants from four to eight berths, roughly 12 ft wide. A six-berth has two bedrooms plus a sofa bed in the lounge rather than a dedicated third bedroom, and by one first-hand account an eight-berth has three bedrooms plus a lounge sofa bed with a single shared shower, so a larger party is worth checking the bathroom count on as well as the beds. The lodges are a clear step up in width at 20 ft, with decking or a veranda, towels included and the option of a hot tub, which is the combination families single out.
Below the caravans, the chalets have two bedrooms and sleep up to six, sitting at the top of the park with limited views and priced similarly to an equivalent caravan. The glamping is 22 standard safari tents plus 5 Safari+ tents, the premium version of the same shell with upgraded furnishings. A safari tent has real beds with linen, a sofa bed, its own decking and a small kitchen with a sink, hob, fridge and microwave, but no private bathroom, so you use the shared wash basins, WCs and showers in the touring area. The touring and camping area itself takes touring caravans, motorhomes and tents, with electric hook-up pitches, water and waste disposal, a shower and toilet block, a disabled bathroom, a shaving area, ice-pack freezing and a launderette.
For choosing with a baby or toddler, floor space is the thing to weigh in a caravan, where a travel cot tends to fit in the living area rather than a bedroom, so a roomier Gold grade gives more room than the entry Bronze at about 22 m². On price, the figures move with the season and the grade, so treat any quote as a starting point.
The pool
The indoor pool and its slide, the toddler splash area, the season and the paid sessions in the water.
The pool at Nodes Point is indoors, and it's the only one, described as a good size. The centrepiece is a four-lane waterslide, a set of twisting flumes with a minimum age of five, and for the youngest there's a separate Aqua Paddlers area for three to seven year olds to splash in. Aqua Jets, a set of mini underwater jets, run from age four. The pool has a defined season, open from 13 February to 6 November 2026, which stretches the swimming well beyond the beach months and makes an out-of-season break workable.
Alongside the free swimming there are scheduled sessions in the pool that run at set times, some of them paid on top of the standard park access: a Pool Party inflatables session from age four, Water Walkerz giant inflatable spheres from five, kayaks and inflatable jet skis from eight and an adult water-fitness class. There's no outdoor pool here at all. Its sister park Landguard over near Shanklin has one that guests can use, but reaching it means a separate trip by car rather than a walk, so it isn't a Nodes Point facility in any practical sense. If an outdoor pool is high on your list, the Shanklin parks are the better match.
The beaches
The beach at the foot of the park, how it shelves for a toddler and what else sits along the shore.
Direct beach access is what Nodes Point leads on, and Priory Bay is the beach Parkdean puts first, an east-facing bay between Seaview and St Helens that it calls unspoilt and secluded, at its best in the mornings when it catches the sun, a stone's throw from the park. Priory Bay and St Helens Beach are adjacent sections of the same continuous coastal arc, which also links to the Duver. St Helens Beach is the one at the foot of the site, about a two-minute walk from the lower lodges, so families in the lower units can be on the sand quickly. At low tide it offers sand and shallow paddling a long way out, which is what you want with a toddler, and at high tide it's a mix of sand and fine shingle depending on the time of year, so it's worth packing water shoes.
The water here is fairly sheltered by the east-facing aspect and is often calm. There's a café and public toilets at the beach, and both Priory Bay and St Helens are dog-friendly all year round. For a bit more on the water, Tackt Isle nearby runs paddleboard lessons and board hire, and in summer a local riding school offers pony rides along the beach, a seasonal extra run by an outside operator rather than by the park. The St Helens Duver next door adds National Trust coastal walks straight from the site, a morning out on foot with dunes to explore.
Eating and drinking
The Boathouse and the Showbar, the Costa and the convenience store and what self-catering looks like here.
The main place to eat and drink on the park is the Boathouse Bar & Restaurant, a combined bar and restaurant that also does a takeaway if you'd rather eat back at the unit, and it looks out towards the sea. The Boathouse menu and opening hours aren't listed online, so check them once you're on the park. Dogs aren't allowed inside the Boathouse, though they're welcome in the outdoor areas. The Showbar is the entertainment side of the offer, serving meals, snacks and drinks alongside the day and evening shows, so it doubles as somewhere to eat and the room the nightly programme runs in.
For coffee there's an on-park Costa concession, and for groceries a small convenience store, which Parkdean is upfront about: it stocks essentials rather than a full shop, and the official advice is to stock up before you arrive. Since every caravan, lodge and chalet has a full kitchen, self-catering is the default here, and it's worth doing a proper supermarket run before you reach the park, as the nearest large stores are a drive away in Ryde. There's a launderette on site, with charges, and the Wi-Fi is free within the venues rather than in the accommodation, so don't count on a signal back at the caravan.
Babies and toddlers
The free tots programme, the character sessions, the supervision arrangement and the baby kit to sort in advance.
Parkdean runs an extensive free programme for under-fives here, badged as Tots Activities and aimed at two to five year olds: PAW Patrol Mighty Missions, Milkshake! Mornings of singing, dancing and craft, Play Tots playroom sessions, Messy Play, Tots & Tunes and Gym Tots. Character appearances run through the week too, with the resident Starland Krew and PAW Patrol, and the park hosts themed Milkshake! and Nickelodeon breaks. In the pool, the Aqua Paddlers splash area for three to seven year olds is the youngest water activity. A kids' disco in the evening is open to all ages and free.
What matters to set expectations is that none of this is childcare. There's no crèche and no babysitting at Nodes Point, and the tots programme is drop-in activity content that you take part in alongside your child, not a session where the park takes them off your hands. So this is a park where the days are ones you spend together, with plenty laid on to fill them, rather than one where you get a break during the day. Baby kit is the one thing to sort before you travel. Cot and high chair hire isn't listed for Nodes Point, so plan to bring your own, or ask Parkdean directly before you book. For nappies, wipes and formula the small on-park store covers the basics, with a larger shop a drive away.
Things to do
What's on through the day and the evening, what's free and what's paid and the ages that gate the activities.
Beyond the tots sessions and the pool, there's a full activity programme across the day and evening. Indoors, an amusement arcade is free to enter with paid machines from age two, alongside the pool sessions. Outdoors there's an adventure playground and football, both free from age two, a multi-sports court, hover archery, French boules, super sports, Battle Blasters from five and free Bumper Zorbs from eight. The arts and crafts side covers pottery painting and Professor Slime from age four, tie dye, jewellery making, a mosaic workshop, dance lessons and free card crafts.
The evenings run a mix for families and, later on, for grown-ups: a kids' disco, the Starland Krazy Krew show, nightly Park Live acts and other live shows, several kinds of bingo, a poker night, a country hoedown evening and a Trouper cast celebrating the music of the sixties. There's a smaller set of adult sessions such as wine tasting, gin and yoga and daytime trivia. Most of the daytime activities are free with the standard park access, but the paid pool sessions and the adult activities are charged on top, so it's worth checking what carries a fee when you plan the week. The table below gathers the age-gated activities in one place.
| Activity | Minimum age |
|---|---|
| Amusement arcade, free to enter and paid per machine | 2 and up |
| Football and the adventure playground, free | 2 and up |
| Aqua Paddlers, the toddler splash area in the pool | 3 to 7 |
| Aqua Jets, mini underwater jets in the pool | 4 and up |
| Pool Party, an inflatables session in the pool | 4 and up |
| Pottery painting and Professor Slime craft sessions | 4 and up |
| The four-lane waterslide flumes | 5 and up |
| Battle Blasters | 5 and up |
| Water Walkerz, giant inflatable spheres in the pool | 5 and up |
| Kayaks in the pool | 8 and up |
| Inflatable jet skis in the pool | 8 and up |
| Bumper Zorbs, free | 8 and up |
The area and days out
The beaches, villages and family attractions within easy reach, with rough drive times.
Nodes Point sits in a quiet corner of the east of the island, well placed for family days out once you've got the car. Ryde, about 4 miles (6 km) away, is the island's lively centre for shopping and dining, with wide sandy beaches, and Parkdean picks out Goodleaf Tree Climbing, Wight Karting and the Isle of Wight Steam Railway there. Several beaches are within a 15-minute drive, among them Sandown for classic bucket-and-spade sands, Shanklin's traditional seafront, Bembridge and the long stretches at Ryde, Appley and Yaverland. The upmarket village of Bembridge and quieter Seaview, with its Wildlife Encounter, are both close by.
The list of family attractions is long. For animals there's Amazon World Zoo Park, about 20 minutes away, the Wildheart Animal Sanctuary at Sandown, the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary, Monkey Haven, Butterfly World and West Wight Alpacas. For a bigger day out, Robin Hill Country Park mixes woodland, a galleon and birds of prey and is about 20 minutes off, and Blackgang Chine, the old cliff-top fantasy park, is around 40 minutes. History and gardens are covered by Brading Roman Villa, Osborne House, Carisbrooke Castle at about 30 minutes, Appuldurcombe House with its falconry and the Ventnor Botanic Garden. The Needles and the west of the island, around Freshwater and Yarmouth, are a longer run of about 45 minutes, a half-day trip that needs the car. Parkdean and the National Trust both point walkers towards the Priory Bay and St Helens circuit on the doorstep.
Loves and gripes
The review picture, what comes through in what families say and how the park sits against the island's others.
On the scores, Nodes Point rates well. Its TripAdvisor figure, shown on Parkdean's own page, is 4.2 out of 5, with a Travellers' Choice 2026 award putting it in the top 10% of properties worldwide, its Google rating sits at 4.3 out of 5, and Reevoo, the review platform on Parkdean's own booking pages, rates it 8.4 out of 10. Isle of Wight Guru's composite, which rounds that TripAdvisor score to 4 out of 5 before folding the three together, comes out at about 83%. Two island round-ups that cover every operator rather than just Parkdean both place it second overall among the island's holiday parks, though those are the blogs' own comparative reads rather than an independently confirmed ranking, and Mumsnet picks it out as the island's best park by the beach. Parkdean as a group also holds three British Travel Awards, though those are brand-wide across all its parks rather than won by this one. Location comes through as the strongest thing families praise, ahead of cleanliness, service and value, with the nature, the food and the beach access close behind.
What families love
- The direct beach access and the walk to the sand from the lower units.
- The harbour and sea views from the higher caravans and the hot-tub lodges.
- The natural, quiet setting beside the Duver nature reserve.
- The pool-party atmosphere and the early-evening children's entertainment.
- The service, cleanliness and food.
What's worth weighing
- The hilly terrain, which makes a pushchair harder work and is flagged on accessibility.
- Older bathrooms in some units, a recurring note in reviews, though Mumsnet points to recent updates to the Boathouse and the accommodation, so the age varies by block.
- Sleep and noise come up as a recurring negative too, which may reflect the evening entertainment carrying to the units nearest the Showbar.
- Being the most expensive of Parkdean's four island parks.
- The small convenience store, which means pre-shopping before you arrive.
- The facilities being lighter than a full resort like Center Parcs, so you get out and explore to keep children busy.
How it compares
Nodes Point is one of four Parkdean parks on the Isle of Wight, and it's among the best-rated of them on the review scores, roughly level with the Shanklin sister park Lower Hyde, with a nearby Away Resorts park the main non-Parkdean alternative. The table sets it against the closest options.
| Park | Setting and pools | The difference |
|---|---|---|
| Lower Hyde, Shanklin | The busier sister park on the edge of Shanklin, leafier and flatter, with an outdoor pool and waterslide plus a small indoor splash pool and the free run of Landguard's larger indoor pool a short walk away. | About the same on the review scores, roughly 83% each on Isle of Wight Guru's figures. Lower Hyde is easier with a pushchair and near the railway, but its beach is a drive or a 20-minute walk, while Nodes Point sits on its own beach. |
| Landguard, Shanklin | Another Parkdean park with both an indoor and an outdoor pool, arguably the best pool facilities of the four island parks, plus more budget pricing. | The pool facilities are the draw, but it's about an 80-minute walk from the beach and scores lower, so it trades the seaside setting for the water play. |
| Thorness Bay, near Cowes | A quieter Parkdean park on the north coast with an indoor pool and no outdoor pool. | The lowest-scoring of the four on the review scores, and on the far side of the island from the east-coast attractions, so a different sort of week rather than a like-for-like swap. |
| Whitecliff Bay, Bembridge | An Away Resorts park nearby with a private residents' cove and indoor soft play, and around £300 cheaper at peak on one 2026 price check. | The private beach and soft play are real draws, but it's a different operator, so no Wightlink discount, and Nodes Point has the fuller restaurant and entertainment side. |
Practical
Dogs, accessibility on the slope, laundry and Wi-Fi, and the season to plan around.
Dogs are welcome in selected units and the outdoor areas, though not in the Boathouse, and the beaches at the foot of the park are dog-friendly all year. The pet charge is currently around £49 per pet per week for caravans and lodges, or from £4 per pet per night for touring, with a maximum of two pets and genuine assistance dogs exempt (last checked July 2026), and periodic Parkdean offers can drop it. Because only some units take dogs, it's worth booking early to secure one.
Accessibility is where the slope weighs most. The gradient across the site is real, parking isn't always beside your unit and pushing a pram uphill is a genuine consideration, which is why accessibility comes up in reviews. There's a disabled bathroom in the touring area, and some unit listings point to wheelchair-friendly caravans, though that isn't confirmed on the official page, so if you need an accessible unit, confirm its exact setup with Parkdean directly for your dates. There's no spa on the park. A launderette is on site with charges, and the free Wi-Fi is in the venues rather than the accommodation.
On the season, the reliable marker is the pool, which runs from mid-February to early November, so it's best thought of as a spring-to-autumn destination for families who want the water. Outside those months the park's opening varies, so check your exact dates in the booking flow rather than assuming a fixed season, and a park map is downloadable from the Parkdean site if you want to picture the layout before you go.
Weather and when to go
The month-by-month picture, the pool season and the gentlest weeks for a family.
The Isle of Wight is one of the sunniest spots in the UK, and St Helens sits on its mild north-east coast, where the figures match the island's main reference station at Ryde nearby. Daytime highs climb from around 8°C in February to about 21°C in July and August, with the sea at its warmest, near 18°C, in August. July and August are the sunniest months, and the wettest is November. Because the indoor pool runs from mid-February to early November, the swimming season stretches well past the beach months, which is what makes a cooler shoulder or off-season break workable here.
For younger children, July and August bring the warmest weather, the fullest programme and the busiest, priciest weeks. The May and June half-terms are cooler at 16 to 19°C but noticeably cheaper and quieter, and September holds around 18°C with a warm sea and thinner crowds, a strong shoulder choice. The figures below cover the pool season month by month.
| Month | Daytime high | Overnight low | Rain | Wet days | Sea temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 8.5° | 4° | 105 mm | 13 | 9° |
| February | 8.5° | 3.5° | 74 mm | 11 | 8° |
| March | 10.5° | 4.5° | 60 mm | 10 | 8° |
| April | 13° | 6° | 54 mm | 9 | 10° |
| May | 16° | 9° | 52 mm | 8 | 13° |
| June | 18.5° | 11.5° | 54 mm | 8 | 16° |
| July | 20.5° | 13.5° | 52 mm | 8 | 18° |
| August | 20.5° | 14° | 67 mm | 8 | 19° |
| September | 18.5° | 12° | 72 mm | 9 | 18° |
| October | 15° | 9.5° | 113 mm | 13 | 16° |
| November | 11.5° | 6.5° | 118 mm | 14 | 13° |
| December | 9.5° | 4.5° | 119 mm | 14 | 10° |
Typical monthly averages from weather-station records. Sea temperature is the open-water figure, so a sheltered bay can feel a degree or two warmer.
Questions
The things families ask most, the official pages worth a bookmark and when this guide was last refreshed.
Can we manage without a car?
You can reach the park and everything on it without one, and St Helens village is a short walk for a pub and a shop, but the island's attractions, the bigger supermarkets and most of the other beaches are spread out. Local buses run, and Ryde four miles away has the passenger ferry and rail links, but a car is the practical choice for a week of days out, and it also gets your accommodation and the ferry discount on one Parkdean booking.
Do the safari tents have their own bathroom?
No. The 22 standard safari tents and 5 Safari+ tents have real beds with linen, a sofa bed and a small kitchen, but no private toilet or shower, so you use the shared wash, WC and shower block in the touring area. With a baby or toddler who wakes in the night, that walk across the park in the dark is the thing to weigh before you book the glamping over a caravan.
Is there childcare so we can get an evening off?
There's no crèche, babysitting or drop-off childcare of any kind, so the days are ones you spend together. For a little adult time, a caravan or lodge with a separate bedroom lets you keep the living area once the young ones are down, and the evening entertainment in the Showbar runs on after the children's shows.
How good is the on-site shop, and should we bring food?
The convenience store is small and stocks essentials rather than a full shop, and Parkdean itself advises stocking up before you arrive. Since you're self-catering, it's worth doing a supermarket run on the mainland or on the island before you reach the park, as the nearest large stores are a drive away in Ryde rather than on the doorstep.
Can we bring the dog?
Yes, in selected dog-friendly units and the outdoor areas, though not in the Boathouse venue, and the beaches at the foot of the park are dog-friendly all year. The pet charge is currently around £49 per pet per week for caravans and lodges, or from £4 per pet per night for touring, with a maximum of two pets and assistance dogs exempt (last checked July 2026). Because only some units take dogs, book early to secure one, and dogs travel free on the Wightlink ferry with a Parkdean booking.
Is there really horse riding on the beach?
It's listed as a park highlight and runs in summer, put on by a local riding school rather than by Parkdean, so it's a seasonal extra rather than something included in your stay. There's no price or booking published, so ask on the park when you arrive to see whether it's running for your dates.
Is there an outdoor pool?
No, it's indoor only, though it runs a long season from mid-February to early November. If an outdoor pool is a must for your week, the two Shanklin parks, Lower Hyde and Landguard, are the ones to compare instead.
