"Sofas stained and dirty looking"

"Exactly what we needed and as advertised. Large living space but we did re organise the furniture a little to suit our needs. Some things such as tables a little worn but thats expected and 'lived in'. Hot tub was great and a huge bonus that it was sunk into the decking."

"Beautiful surroundings, quiet and relaxing."

"Having stayed here before this was no way as good as cabins weve had before."

"Overall a lovely break on a beautiful, peaceful site with fabulous views. You do need a car to get around the island. Found lots of things to do. Good value and lovely accommodation.Would definitely recommend."

"The lodge wasnt as clean as it should have been & furnishings & wallpaper worn. Windows hadnt been cleaned in a long time. Disappointing unfortunately."

"The restaurant had been closed down after we booked our holidayThe bar was closed on a Tuesday and Wednesday The path between the 2 sites has not been kept up and needs a complete overhaul, in places can be very muddy, and the logs for the path have disappeared Overheard staff complain about speaking to a customer and they were doing them a favour calling them before their holiday"

"Amazing lodge we will be back"

"Lodge is tired and really showing its age. Walls are marked and in need of paint, the floor in ours was really uneven under the lino and generally smelt grubby.Like most of the Darwin Escape properties, theyre great when new, but very little investment in keeping them feel nice. The lodge was however clean, but zero premium feel like there used to be. Impossible to get stuff dry in a hot tub lodge, no towels for use in the hot tub and the once included robes are now £5/each. No qualms, just adds to the all round feel that these arent what they were.The access road is rough with potholes and breaking up - clearly not intended for the volume of traffic if gets. Staff are helpful, grafters and very friendly.Would I go back? No."

"Absolutely loved the views over the solent..Nature,trees..Hot tub..Nature walk to receptionThe lodges are all lovely..sea views can be seen by most lodges..Missed not having robes,and samples of toiletries,duck,little suitcase holding key and suggestions of places to visit ..And there weren't so many little things to start off the holiday,that Hoseasons used to provide..not such crockery..But all still great for us...Our special retreat.."

"We have been coming to Woodside Coastal lodges for a number of years now.We love the trees,bing near the sea,and the nature trail leading to reception..In past years there has been more items in the lodge..for example robes,more crockery,toiletries samples..ducks,little suitcase to hold information on places to visit,and a few useful items ..It's a relaxing place to go to for a few days..a retreat.."

"Woodside Coastal lodges are older than Woodside Bay,but We love the Carisbrook Premier Lodges in Woodside Coastal side....they are 6 berth..Third rooms beds are narrow,good for children,but thinner adults can sleep in them,as long as they are expecting that the beds in there are narrower..not that bad,after all for the holiday....we have stayed in quite a few lodges at Woodside Coastal..and lots of times also...Which ever lodge you have,they all have a bit of a sea view,and trees around..and inside the lodges they are lovely to relax in with friends and family..All look fresh and bright...any problems would be soon sorted out by Woodside staff..we thought our key didn't work,but just a phone call away we found you have to take the key out side ways!The kitchens all have dishwashers,and washer dryers,fridge freezers ect..all you need to add comfort to your few days away..Always sad on the last day to leave...But hopefully everyone leaves refreshed from a lovely retreat.."

"Beautiful location 10 minutes from the ferry port. The lodges are spacious and modern with a king size comfortable bed with en suite bathroom. We opted for a lodge with a sunken hot tub on the decking."

"I love this lodge and it's location. The view is amazing over the solent. The lodge was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed as a family of 3 with a toddler."

"NEED MORE LIGHTS ON PATHWAYS!!!!Its so dark that we fell over quite a bit walking to and from the car. Lovely lodge beds probably could do with an up grade. Views are amazing! Staff were very friendly and helpful but were a bit sharp on the phone when I left the key in the lodge just after we had left. A receptionist called me 10:25 and asked why I hadnt left the key in the box! Was quite upset. A simple phone call to housekeeping would have given her all the information needed. And possibly a reminder that we are customers and NOT fellow staff members."

"Excellent visit & lots to see. Very interesting"

"The lodge was clean and tidy, it had lovely soft towels, heating on keeping it nice and warm for our winter visit, lots of hot water and everything we needed provided."

"Location of our lodge and facilities within were just perfect, we have a dog so thought might be a bit scruffy, but over all (apart from the sofa and dining table) the facilities were perfect condition"

"All good apart from some contractors using the site as accomadation and being noisy on way to work in the morning."

"An enjoyable stay in the Carisbroke Premier lodge."

"Loved our winter break at Woodside even in the storms it was cosy thankyou!!"

"Unfortunately they no longer provide food but that aside we felt really welcome and enjoyed our stay"

"Brilliant lodge with outstanding views"

"Very nice lots of space"

"The restaurant was not open when we were on holiday so we used the take away service . The view from our lodge was amazing.The lodge was spacious and clean, only had 2 large saucepans and the duvets were too thick for July they are my minor complaints.Totally enjoyed my holiday at Woodside Bay Lodge Retreat would highly recommend"

"Clean tidy, lovely view would recommend"

"Furniture needs refreshing and provide cleaning equipment"

"Loved the site. Beautiful location. Friendly and helpful staff. Spacious and clean lodge. Wonderful views."

"Excellent place."

"Lovely and peaceful"

"A lovely quaint place to relax in!!!"

"Really enjoyed the stay."

"Beautiful quiet location, lovely views looking out to sea, enjoyed so much have booked for later in year."

"We booked just a few weeks before we went on holiday here and the price was very good. Excellent location, beautiful views, very friendly and helpful reception staff. We didn’t get chance to use the restaurant but the bar and staff are great."

"Lovely relaxing place to stay. Very close to the beach and very quiet"

"Lovely side sea view lodge (No 33) and peacefully quiet! Overall would definitely recommend these lodges in this location."
