The Lodge

4009 is no longer with us

If you were looking for cottages like The Lodge, how about trying these:

This absolutely stunning property is laid over five mezzanine floors, has two sea-facing balconies and a hot tub with a sea view!

Beautifully decorated throughout, The Lodge offers guests the perfect holiday escape on the Isle of Wight all year round. The stretch of sands at Appley and Ryde offer fantastic views across the Solent, with the landmark Spinnaker Tower forming an impressive backdrop to a busy shipping channel which carries an interesting array of freight, passenger and military ships. You can sit in your hot tub, with a glass of wine in your hand and watch the ships sail by, what more could you ask for?

The beaches here offer miles and miles of sandy shores, the sand reaches so far out at low tide that Ryde Pier had to be built to enable boats to dock. Both the Fastcat and the Hovercraft dock here in Ryde, so arriving as foot passengers for your holiday adventure is easy, with just a short walk along the sea front to The Lodge.

There are two sitting-rooms to choose from, the whole top floor is a more adult space with doors out onto the balcony and the lower ground floor can be the childrens room with a second television and plenty of games to keep them entertained.

From this lower ground floor there are doors out to a patio-area and gated access takes you from the rear of the house straight onto a communal lawned-area, an ideal place for the children to play while you keep a close eye from the balcony. Just a few steps on and you reach the beach, the promenade stretches out in either direction into the town of Ryde or the village of Seaview in the other direction.
