"We had a lovely stay, with breathtaking views and a super relaxing hot tub. The lodge was spacious, well-equipped and perfect for chilling out. A few things could be improved - the kettle was pretty scaley and the toilet roll holders felt a bit loose. Also, the beds end posts were missing their tops, which was a bit odd. Still, overall, a nice place to unwind!"

"We had a pretty decent time at The Lodge, though a few things could be better. The seating is a bit limited-just two settees for four bedrooms-so dont expect comfy spots for everyone if you're a bigger group. The kettle could do with a descale, but the beds were super comfy, even if one squeaked a bit when you moved. Overall, a good stay!"

"We loved staying here! The lodge was airy and had stunning views, plus that hot tub was just perfect. Beds were comfy and the kids adored their rooms."
Emma - Mar 2025
"We loved the place! The lodge was super comfy and well kitted out, though a manual for the microwave wouldve been handy. The hot tub was a real treat after a busy day exploring. Views across the Solent were just what wed hoped for. Definitely recommend!"

"Our Woodside Coastal Retreat review: We had such a lovely stay at Woodside Bay! The lodge was spotlessly clean and super cosy when we arrived, which was great. The hot tub was just perfect after a day out and the view of the sea is honestly breathtaking. Its our second visit and it didnt disappoint. Well definitely be coming back again soon!"
Emma - Mar 2025
"We loved the stunning scenery and the peaceful vibe of the place. The Osbourne cabin was really roomy and we spent plenty of time relaxing on the decking in the sunshine. Only small gripe was the kitchen tools - could do with an update and a veggie knife wouldve been handy. Overall, a fantastic spot well definitely suggest to friends!"

"We stayed at the lodge recently and honestly, it was pretty good overall. The place was spotless and super cosy, with everything we needed. The beds were really comfy and the hot tub was a highlight - such a treat after a long day. The washing machine was a bit noisy, probably worn bearings or something, but it didnt ruin our stay. The only real annoyance was the neighbours. Every time we went out or came back, theyd all stare at us like meerkats but wouldnt say a word - kinda strange. The first night, they threw quite a party on the decking, music blasting and singing along loudly, which made it impossible to hear the TV. We phoned reception and they sorted it out quickly, so we could finally get some sleep. Honestly, if we could avoid noisy neighbours, wed be back in a heartbeat. Great place, just hope next time its a bit quieter around us!"

"While the place isn't exactly 'luxury', we found it quite cosy, though it did need a proper clean and looked a bit worn out. The hot tub was definitely a highlight and the location right on the beach was perfect for relaxing. We got a last-minute deal, so it wasnt too bad overall. Wouldnt pay full price, though!"

"We loved the stunning view of the Solent from Carisbrooke Premier View Lodge. The inside feels really roomy, with three bedrooms, including an en suite and a kitchen fully stocked for everything you need. The lounge is perfect for relaxing together, especially with the hot tub outside and the outdoor dining area. Bright, fresh and super chill - well definitely be back!"
Emma Roberts - Dec 2024
"We really enjoy staying at Woidside Coastal Retreat. Carisbrooke Premier Lodges are definitely our top pick. Walking into the lodge on arrival always feels so cheerful and inviting. Its such a relaxing getaway overall!"
Emma Carter - Dec 2024
"We found the furniture a bit tricky to fit perfectly in our lounge. The TV and sofa placement wasnt quite right, making it a squeeze when we tried to get seven of us on the sofas in the evening. Still, overall, not a bad buy, just needs some tweaking!"
Emma - Dec 2024
"Great comfort and value, would happily recommend!"
Emily Carter - Dec 2024

Sam - Dec 2024
"We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge, it was super comfy. Sadly, we couldnt use the hot tub because it was way too hot-definitely not at 38 degrees, more like boiling! Fingers crossed they sort it out before our next visit, would love to try again."
Emma - Dec 2024
"The lodge was spot on, with all the essentials for a relaxing break. Views over the Solent were stunning!"
Mark - Dec 2024
"We had a lovely four-day break in this beautiful spot. The rates were really fair, which was great. The lodge was warm and comfy, even with the sofa rip and the hot tub was a real highlight-cleaned twice daily! Just a couple of things like missing cutlery and no ice cube tray could be improved, but overall, it was a relaxing stay."
Emma Clarke - Nov 2024

Oliver - Nov 2024
