This characterful lodge in an idyllic lakeside setting is ideal for couples or solo travellers looking for a restful holiday and a central base to discover the many attractions of the Isle of Wight. The property sits alongside four lakes, making it an ideal spot for anglers to try their luck. Walkers have miles of countryside to explore right on the doorstep. The lodge is 2 miles from the centre of bustling Newport. Historic Carisbrooke Castle (3.5 miles) is a great day out with marvellous views across the island.
There are a couple of external steps to enter this cheerful lodge, where you’ll find an inviting open-plan living space with a lounge, kitchen and diner. Unwind on the comfortable seating in the lounge and watch your favourite series on the Smart TV. The kitchen has all the appliances you need to prepare holiday feasts, while the cute dining table with waterside views is perfect for enjoying the chef’s work. At the end of each busy day away, retire to the charming king-size bedroom, which is served by a well-appointed shower room. Outside, step onto the private decked area to find outdoor furniture and a BBQ for al fresco dining with tranquil views. A private gravelled space boasts further seating, as well as a bar and drinks cooler, while an outdoor shower and a hot tub add to the offerings. Private parking for one car is available 100 metres from the lodge (a trolley is provided to help with luggage).
