How to get there
Note that there is a single parking spot available for this cottage, although additional free parking is available at the nearby fort about 100 meters away.
The best (certainly most scenic) route to the West Wight is by car through the New Forest (drive via Beaulieu for a really magical journey) to Lymington ferry terminal. Woodland Cottage is a two minute drive from the this ferry's destination at Yarmouth. Other possible routes are Southampton to East Cowes and Portsmouth to Fishbourne.
If you are travelling by train, change at Brockenhurst and take the local Lymington Pier train (the train connects with the Lymington to Yarmouth ferry). There is a bus stop at the end of the road, and a good bus network on the island.

Getting around
The cottage is a 3-4 minute drive (or 15 minute walk) along the coast from the historical harbour town of Yarmouth, the arrival point for the car ferry from Lymington in the New Forest. If you don't want to bring a car, there is a very good bus network all over the island, a regular bus stop at the end of the road, and a request stop at the fort. You can also rent bikes at the old train station next to the river in Yarmouth. If you like walking the whole area is a paradise. The 15 minute walk to Yarmouth runs along the beach and coastal pathway to the edge of the harbour (Sandhart Beach), which you can either walk around, or take the £1.50 harbour water taxi straight into town.
