Sorry Penny read the 7 as a 9 must be going round bend!!!

Most sites will have 8 berths accomadation.

But be warned you find someone will end up sleeping in the lounge.

Can't think of any caravan that will hold 9, usually top occupancy is 8.
For Isle of Wight try changing the ferry times, you'll be suprised just how much it alters the fare. Also we found red funnel much cheaper, tho I have been told you can use your tesco vouchers towards Wight Link ( and apprently they are worth more being used this way than in the shop)

What about John Fowler holidays? they can be reasonable, but again for 9 people you'll be looking at two units. I don't know of a single accommadation on a site that will hold 9. You might be better off renting a cottage somewhere.
Think Hoeseasons rent cottages.

Thanks for the offer Jan.

I have been looking at Haven - looked for a while but can't find which resort has 8 berth chalets/apartments !?

I have looked at Park Resort too - they had no available 8 berth chalet/ apartment either - they did offer cheaper ferry crossing but I didn't see how much cheaper!

I'm looking at Hoseasons & cottages4you at the moment!

I work for Haven holidays,

We only do caravans at our site but a few of the sites, they have 35, do have apartments and chalets, may be worth looking, dont think any on Isle of Wight, think they are all Park Resorts.

Let me know if I can help in any way

I think for 5 adults & 2 children a caravan is too squashed.

We had thought of the Isle of Wight but looking at the ferries - it's going to add over £300 to the holiday!
