How we chose our recommendations
Because we know that there's nothing like a real recommendation from a fellow parent, we first headed to the Mumsnet forums to find out which holiday parks on the Isle of Wight were being recommended for families.
We then did some research looking at which sites had won accolades and what customer reviews said about them. We looked at on-site amenities, accommodation options and location. Having collated all that information, we then narrowed our list down to the best holiday parks on the Isle of Wight.
