The lodge's peaceful setting and proximity to local attractions, including a pub and distillery, are appreciated, though some guests suggested better signage.
The lodge is described as comfortable and cosy, with comfortable beds and a homely feel. However, some guests found it cramped for four adults and suggested more cutlery and crockery.
Facilities like the hot tub are highly praised, but there are comments about the need for additional kitchen utensils, a hair dryer, and better audio on the TV.

The property was spacious, well equipped and beds very comfortable. We would stay there again on our next trip to the Island.

Beds were comfortable. Wash hand basins in the bathroom looked nice but were far too small. Both showers looked nice but needed a little maintenance. Parking not well thought out. However, on balance we enjoyed a lovely week in an area of the island we had not stayed before

We ate once at the pub on site and the food was nice and service good. The site is in walking distance of Seaview and Ryde seafronts and a short drive to shops, a supermarket and all of the east coast beaches. All four of us enjoyed the spotless hot tub.The bedrooms did get very hot at night but fans were provided and we skilfully avoided the hot weather!
