Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge is generally regarded as very clean, with specific praise for the kitchen/lounge area. However, some guests noted issues with bathroom cleanliness, such as dirty marks and mould, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly regarded for its proximity to a pub, gin distillery, and the town of Ryde. It is considered ideal for exploring the Isle of Wight, contributing to a high score.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the hot tub luxurious. The ample room for guests contributes to a high comfort level, though suggestions for blackout curtains indicate room for improvement.
The lodge is well-equipped and comfortable, with a hot tub as a highlight. Criticisms include small bathroom sinks, a lack of certain kitchen items, and maintenance issues like a leaking sink and smells from drains, which affect the score.
A welcome basket with milk and bread was mentioned, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed and there is insufficient information on other thoughtful touches, a definitive score cannot be provided.

Nice and easy.

The ridiculously tiny sinks in the bathrooms are enough to disallow such a high rating. A sapling growing out of the rear downpipe makes a query of maintenance. However, internally very well equipped and comfortable. Hot tub lovely.

The addition of a teapot would be good and also a 2nd oven glove - lifting a hot dish out of the oven with 1 hand is not really safe. However, it is in the bathrooms that my criticism begins. The sink is way too small and it is difficult to get your head over the sink when cleaning your teeth/shaving. When sitting on the loo you can easily see very dirty marks on the front of the shower tray - not acceptable. Sealant in the shower had dirt/mould on it - but even worse was the appalling smells that both shower rooms gave from the drains once you have taken a shower. Not nice when you sleep in the adjoining bedrooms and a possible health risk. Only 1 toilet roll was provided for each bathroom for a weeks stayâ¦. Also a hairdryer being provided would have been better than having to carry my own. Luxury lodge - no . Eco lodge - not sure how that can be with a hot tub outside, although not used by us. Such a shame as there is so much to enjoy about this accommodationâ¦..but not by us again.
