"Accommodation was clean throughout, with comfortable beds. Hot tub was a plus, however not all jets were working, but still good to dip into after a day's out sightseeing. Very quiet location with a slightly restricted view of the solent, however suited our needs for the week."

"Our Woodside Coastal Retreat review: As mentioned, lodge was a little tired, but hasn't stopped us rebooking as the overall holiday was fantastic and the site was clean, well kept, location perfect and the woodland walk and beach an added bonus."

"Very lovely cozy lodge with fab hot tub. We enjoyed walks to the sea in close distance. It was smaller than the previous premiere lodge we stayed in but we woukd defo return!"

"We had a rickety dining chair which was reported to reception. This did not affect us directly as there were only two of us. More attention to the cleaning regime required and a lick of paint would not go amiss."
Caroline - Apr 2025
"Lodge seemed a little tired. Only half of the hot tub worked (two opposite corners) so couldn't really enjoy as a family, staff failed to repair it despite admitting it was faulty and no communication without having to chase for update. One bedroom dirty with empty bottles and most of pack of peanut M&Ms all left scattered under a bed. Location in woodlands still makes for lovely location and good views."

"The place was clean and comfy with everything we needed. You had a lovely short walk to the facilities of the cafe and gym. The staff were very helpful and lovely. The place was dog friendly which made it very nice for all of us."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Woodside Coastal Retreat and plan to return. The lodge was lovey and spacious. The beds were very comfortable. There is only 1 parking space per lodge, which wasnt ideal with us travelling with grandparents and 2 cars. However we were lucky to alway manage to get a visitors space. My only real complaint was that the lodge had a bad smell on arrival (which with a days airing and some airfreshers it went), and it was grubby, I gave it a good clean and wipe down on arrival. I don't feel it has had a good deep clean for a while, we found empty vapes, confetti and make up containers under beds, grape stalks in the living room light shade, a decent layer of dust on fire and tv and food splatters on the walls and surfaces. Once we had cleaned this all down we were happy with the accomodation.The furniture was well used, and could do with another kick of paint."

"As said, needs updating. The coverings were coming away from the cupboard doors, lots of cobwebs, bed frame thick with dust and bathroom floor not clean."
Sally - Apr 2025
"Good sized lodge. Showing wear & tear a little but nothing to complain about"
Maria - Apr 2025
"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!"
Oliver - Mar 2025
"The Lodge is good for a holiday stay, but the seating is limited with only two settees for four bedrooms, so beware of thinking there's comfortable seats for everyone if over four people. The kettle needs descaling. But other than those items we had a good stay. The Beds are very comfortable but one double bed squeaks when movement occurs such as getting in and out of it."
Derek - 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!"
Sarah - Mar 2025
"Great location for exploring rest of the Isle of Wight Lodge comfortable well equipped maybe a manual on how to use combination microwave would have been helpful ?Hot tub was nice after a day of sightseeingViews everything hoped for over the solent"
Wendy - Mar 2025
"Lovely location with fabulous views. Our cabin, the Osbourne, was spacious with ample decking to sit on when the sun came out.Only issues were the cooking utensils could do with an overhaul & a vegatable knife added but overall a great place to stay & I'll be recommending it to anyone wanting a holiday on the Island."
Paula - Mar 2025
"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!"
Emily - Mar 2025
"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!"

"The restaurant has been, closed a year. But it still says on website, that there is a restaurant."
Iona - Jan 2025
"The furniture I think could be tailored a little more to the space, the positioning of the tv with the sofas wasnt ideal so when you are trying to cram 7 people onto the sofas in front of the tv of an evening it was a little challenging!"
Chloe - Dec 2024
