Surrounded by lush trees and the gentle sound of the sea, it provides an idyllic retreat on the Isle of Wight.

The lounge invites relaxation with its cosy electric fire, TV and plush seating, all enhanced by large windows that flood the space with natural light and offer picturesque views of the surrounding greenery. The lodge's sleeping quarters are just as inviting. They feature a charming double bedroom with an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, and a twin bedroom that exudes warmth and comfort. A utility room and a separate, well-appointed bathroom serve the rest of the lodge, ensuring convenience for all guests.

Very nice holiday accommodation. Very peaceful. Sea beach only 300yds away. Not quite suitable for elderly people as steep slope from car park, otherwise perfect.

We love this lodge and it was our second visit. If you like a relaxing and peaceful holiday then this is a must visit. The lodge is so well equipped. There are various games in the coffee table drawer including puzzles, board games and a pack of cards so you wont get board! We took our own blu ray player so we could watch our videos.

We wouldnt recommend the AP20 Lodge - The wardrobe that backs onto the double room smelt very strongly of urine and we had to move our belongings out of there, the dishwasher was broken, the Lodge was so cold on arrival and overnight that we had to bring our 10 month old into bed with us to keep him warm, no WIFI working on arrival and told we coulRead morednt be helped until 9am the following morning - Still no WIFi and I had to pay 30 for a bundle on my phone to make the TV work which isnt acceptable in 2025 lets be honest - No compensation offered Hide

We had a wonderful stay. Very cosy and warm in the home with everything needed for a comfortable stay. A good base to explore the Island from and really enjoyed our red squirrel visitor who came daily. Had a lovely meal at the Crab and Lobster in Bembridge and some superb walks.

Weve just returned from a fab week. The lodge directions were great making it easy to find and the owners have thought of everything, by far the best equipped lodge weve ever stayed in and for us, a great location out of the way of other guests. The sound of the waves in the evening was so relaxing. We loved our stay here and would highly recommendRead more! Hide

What an absolutely perfect lodge, definitely a retreat. The surroundings are idyllic with only the sound of the birds and the sea, so relaxing. We have enjoyed every second of our stay and had sunshine a lot of the time. The red squirrel visited most days which was a delight. The equipment in the lodge was above and beyond anything we expected, tRead morehe owners really have thought of everything. The site has direct access to the beach and there isn't far to go to sample the delights of the country pubs dotted around. We would definitely visit again. Hide
