What a delight it was to stay here. The wonderful owner left us milk, tea, coffee, soap, dog treats (which our pooch loved), washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and washing tablets! It was amazing! The accommodation provides everything you could need. It has a glorious view over the Channel. The Owner was fabulous even when we phoned to say we were lost and couldn’t find it. There is no vehicular access to the property but once you find it on the cliff path you don’t look back. We walked into Sandown one day and Shanklin. Great walks. We used the train which is very close to go to the Steam Railway and Ryde. The bus service in the area is great too. Tesco express very close and bigger Morrisons about 10 mins in the car.

We were happy with sunny lodge with just a couple of issues, first the no parking which was tricky and the apex roof which meant lots of head bangs until you got used to it ! We were very sad to see the decline in the various towns we visited with lots of shops empty and hotels etc boarded up , such a shame on such a beautiful island.
