Barolo

Lovely quiet location in well tended grounds.

Accommodation was modern and we liked the open plan design of the kitchen, dining and lounge room. Ample storage in the kitchen, dining and lounge although due to very few hangers (some completely broken) per bedroom it was difficult to hang much clothing. Plenty of drawer space though. Terrace and rear patio both had good quality furniture for eating or sitting out but some cushions for both would have made it even better. Parasol was provided by not until after we had arrived. I do think that the company that manage the property really needs to be better at checking them after people have stayed. We found two badly chipped plates, a spatula broken in half and a broken mug but the biggest problem was a fridge door with no shelf for milk. This did get resolved later in the week by a very helpful man from the maintenance team but really these sort of issues should be being picked up before new guests move in. Bedrooms and en suites were clean and tidy and very spacious. Lovely white linen on the comfortable beds and fluffy white towels. The hot tub on the patio was spotless and very well maintained; we thoroughly enjoyed using it in the evenings. Overall we really enjoyed our time here and would recommend it to visitors of all ages.

This is the second time we have stayed at this accommodation.

We love it has everything you need (apart from a hairdryer). Showers are super powerful, bedding and towels clean, hot tub great and grounds beautifully kept. However, cleanliness could be slightly better (we found there were dirty cups in the cupboard, blood spots on one of the doors and floor dirty). This is still an amazing place to stay and we will be back again for sure!

It was difficult to find fault with this lovely accommodation.

Situated with easy access to the areas we were to explore.

We have been coming from over 4 years it’s a beautiful quite spot and the hot tub is a big plus, if you want a peaceful break it’s the right place, we live in London so it’s a perfect quite spot, the eco lodge is very comfortable and clean we all amenities we have already booked for next year

Very comfortable and spacious lodge set on a generous sized plot.

Although parking is provided about a hundred yards away it would be hugely beneficial if it was in front of the lodge, nevertheless it was a very pleasant stay.

We absolutely loved our stay in Barolo at the vineyard.

John was extremely helpful, even though we turned up earlier than we said we would. It's very handy to have the pub/restaurant so close, they are very friendly and served great food (and drink) at reasonable prices. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the site.

Excellent accommodation, beautiful surroundings and well kept gardens.

Bedrooms with en-suite, all facilities needed for self catering. Hot Tub a lovely bonus. Suberb Shower powerful and hot. Near to pub/distillery for food and drinks. I would defiantly return. Great for people with mobility issues. Some small things that could help to make it even more amazing - outdoor furniture dirty, maybe provide some cleaning equipment in case people would like to use - green safety light near doors in the bedrooms very bright and can prevent sleep - Hairdryer in the accommodation

The home was well set out, warm, clean and tidy on arrival.

The home was well provided with all electronics and kitchen utilities. Bedrooms were comfortable and well appointed, on suites were perfect for size of property. Hot tub was well positioned. The location of the property was very good with the Mermaid gin distillery very close by. Property was well located for visiting the islands attractions. A relaxing environment to spend a new year holiday.

Property needs some maintenance and there were a number of cobwebs in the property and also outside on the furniture.

We could not get the showers to run hot water, they were just lukewarm. Lack of freezer capacity is an issue. Otherwise nice property and we enjoyed our stay.

Had a lovely time and really enjoyed my holiday.

The Barolo was peaceful and quiet. Exactly what I wanted.

Could do with hairdryer and some paintwork inside is being rubbed off.

Welcome milk, water tea coffee was greatly appreciated. Would have been good to know that there was going to he dishwasher tablets, wash up liquid etc as we went and bought them. These are really minor things. Jon and Mel who are site managers are also lovely and v helpful. Would stay again.

This was our 2nd year at Barolo fantastic stay, very clean.

As stated last year would be lovely if there was more toilet rolls only 1 supplied and cleaning bits for the toilets. Its not a moan,just saying as its hygiene. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks to Mel for the being on hand . Fantastic hoilday had by all. 10 out of 10 from us.

Lovely surrounding have stayed here twice now and can't really fault it.

It's everything you need. Just a few small points to help you along with maintenance. The tap in the kitchen one of the metal handles comes out I'm pretty sure your already aware of this. The main entrance opening and closing it you really have to force it to close and lock, Is there anyway of turning off those green emergency lights I think they are there so bright at night they keep you awake,we had to buy some tape to put over them which worked thankfully. Think everything else was as expected so thanks for another lovely holiday.

Beautiful location, well maintained site, really quiet and peaceful holiday.

Lodge kept very clean and tidy, and very modern, hot tub a bonus for guests but weather inclement for use personally. Easy walk to Pub/Eatery and on a bus route to explore on. Would have benefited with a Hair Dryer for the ladies, and shower temperature only cool. Could also require a new kitchen tap as bits kept falling off. Generally an ideal break.

We had a lovely mini break at barolo.

The layout was perfect for two couples. Wonderful setting, great amenities at the eco Lodge . Only slight issue was that the hot tub was not warm enough to use on the first afternoon....but the property managers came out and sorted it that we were able to use the hot tub next door which was ready as it was not occupied so that was great and really appreciated. Very much hope to return next year.

We had a lovely stay at the property, clean and modern and the hot tub was great!

Well maintained gardens around the property. Just one little thing, you might want to consider putting a hairdryer at the property.

This was a beautiful place to stay.

The lodge was well fitted, clean, warm and comfortable. The owners were keen to ensure that everything you needed was in place. The hot tub was well maintained and checked regularly. The area was kept well tended by the gardeners. We were able to get good food from the Mermaid bar and the staff there were keen to ensure that you enjoyed their hospitality. A great place for a holiday.

We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend staying at Barolo.

Clean comfortable all the facilities you need for a holiday and in a peaceful location. 5 star.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Barolo.

The owners were very helpful and quick to respond to a couple of minor queries that we had. The site is a lovely little spot next to a great pub/restaurant run by the Mermaid Distillery. The cottage was clean and the kitchen area very well stocked with everything we needed. The owners added a few nice touches which were greatly appreciated. Comfortable beds, great bathrooms. Thoughtfully designed layout so it always felt private. Would very much recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely lodge on the Isle of Wight.

Clean and comfortable accommodation located in a quiet position just a short walk from the beach. The hot tub was an added bonus. Wouldn’t hesitate to visit again.

The accommodation was outstanding and spotlessly clean.

The welcome pack with the tea, coffee and biscuits was a wonderful touch. As was the milk and water in the fridge. The bed (we only Used the double room) was super comfy. The location of the site was also perfect for exploring the north coast of the island but close to Ryde where public transport (if needed) was good. I would highly recommend The Vineyard site to family and friends and would return myself.

No hair dryer.

I had a fan so. I could blow it dry that way. Settee was a bit hard. Need better tongs, not flimsy plastic ones. Hot tub was wonderful, used after site seeing.

three words to describe our experience.

Barolo lodge perfect weather perfect isle of wight perfect

We had a lovely stay,but just one thing that could change is to supply toilet rolls we only had half a roll,so had to go and buy some.

Apart from that fantastic stay. Booking again for next year.

Perfect accommodation and setting.

I tried to bring it home in my car but it wouldn’t fit!!

Excellent property second year ,no pets or children .

John and Mel very pleasant managers .Required 2 bedrooms with en-suite which were in short supply in our search so finding Barolo really fitted the bill

Great accommodation and a very enjoyable stay.

Mel was really helpful with any queries we had both before and during our stay. The lodge was well equipped and spotlessly clean. If I were to nit pick, small niggles were lack of hooks or anywhere to hang coats and no full length mirror. The slab on the step out of the main bedroom was loose, kept falling off and could be a trip hazard. The road at the back was busy, didn’t cause us any noise issues but was noticeable whilst in the hot tub. The fire system caused sleep issues for the first 3 nights due to the bright green ceiling lights that can’t be turned off, until we employed a work around. The smoke alarms are also ultra sensitive. The pub being a minutes walk away was much appreciated as was the excellent gin. Would definitely stay again if we return to IOW.

Clean,comfortable accomodation.

Appreciated the welcome goodies. Fantastic hot tub. Very relaxing will be recommending as a place to stay to family and friends. Will definitely be booking again.

A very enjoyable stay.

Many Thanks

Lovely lodges enjoyed Our stay, the only problem we found was that in the fridge you could not use the freezer part as door would not open because fridge door would not open far enough.

Beds lovely and comfortable enjoyed the hot tub and the lovely surroundings.
