Visitors to the Isle of White can now stay in the English Heritage (EH) property that was once Queen Victoria’s family retreat, in a new heritage tourism development to open up a new area of Sovereign’s Gate.

Holidaymakers to the Isle of Wight will soon have the chance to live like a royal – as English Heritage opens up an exclusive area of Queen Victoria’s family retreat as a holiday cottage.
Two luxury cottages have been developed within ‘Sovereign’s Gate’ at Osborne – a ceremonial entrance to the royal retreat once reserved exclusively for Queen Victoria and her family as well as lords, ladies and heads of state. From this month guests can book a three, four or seven night stay at Sovereign’s Gate, which also includes exclusive use of the grounds at Osborne, which include Queen Victoria’s private beach and gardens, and free entry to other English Heritage sites on the Isle of Wight.
