    “Great location, Tesco only 7 minutes away for supples and mermaid gin bar just a few minutes away plus they have electric chargers which we used , great if you are there for food and drinks as it’s a free if you are a customer but takes time to charge.”

    On arrival lodge smelt musty due to knowing about this issue on other reviews I bought along cleaning supplies to freshen up the lodge and also air fresheners which worked thankfully. Outdoor area also not clean on arrival and windows dirty so not a great first impression. We arrived just after the cleaner left so it’s was disappointing. Lodge bedrooms were warm but a fan is provided, if you like a quieter fan bring your own but we managed fine. There is no window to keep bedrooms fresh ...

    On arrival lodge smelt musty due to knowing about this issue on other reviews I bought along cleaning supplies to freshen up the lodge and also air fresheners which worked thankfully. Outdoor area also not clean on arrival and windows dirty so not a great first impression. We arrived just after the cleaner left so it’s was disappointing. Lodge bedrooms were warm but a fan is provided, if you like a quieter fan bring your own but we managed fine. There is no window to keep bedrooms fresh at night. Bedrooms have no dressing table or hairdryer but used area in the living room area to do make up. Doors are heavy and green light in bedroom also not great but used eye mask at night. Outdoor area full of cobwebs, leaves and not brushed down, hot tub was not warm on arrival which was disappointing and hot tub lid very heavy to move too. The lodge also had areas that needed painting and sofa also needs a clean. Location is next to a main road so you can hear traffic noise while in hot tub but again didn’t bother us. We visit luxury lodges every year for celebrations so we do compare and this lodge needs some TLC and maybe some luxury diffusers to help the musty smell and maybe using nice smelling cleaning products would help. Kitchen was great but you are missing a pizza cutter and it was nice to be provided with kitchen roll, bin bags, dishwasher tablets,loo roll and hand wash. Just a few minor changes and this lodge would be improved. We did complain and we are receiving a small reimbursement which was a nice gesture. Overall the location is beautiful, kitchen is great and the bed is comfy!

About the location

SEAVIEW

Ryde 2.6 miles.

Seaview is a small Edwardian seaside village on the north eastern shores of the Isle of Wight, only a 15 minute drive from the superb transport links of Ryde. Seaview is one of the South of England’s most famous holiday destinations, with a reputation of being an upmarket resort. This lovely seaside resort has stunning views out across the Solent, gorgeous golden sandy beaches, a sailing club, boutique shops and many popular restaurants and pubs, such as The Seaview Hotel and The Old Fort. On the coastal footpath towards Ryde just off Springvale is Puckpool Park, an old Victorian Fortification Battery, now with tennis courts, mini-golf and a children’s play area set within its pretty gardens. In the summer, locals and tourists take part in the famous Seaview Regatta, competing in many traditional activities, with races on the beach at Seagrove Bay, rowing in the village’s own unique boats, tug of war, the greasy pole and diving, all concluded at the end of the week with a magnificent firework display. As well as being a coastal village the nearby countryside at Seaview’s Duver is a nature reserve, with frequent visits from the beautiful red squirrel, as well as having an incredible array of bird life. A wonderful Isle of Wight base.
