  • Bright and airy, spacious lodge set in a tranquil country park close to the Isle of Wight coastline

Perfect for couples or small families, this welcoming holiday home offers the best of both worlds - a peaceful, traffic-free setting, yet with easy access to some of the Isle of Wight's most-loved attractions. With a wood-burner-effect electric fire and a wrap-around sundeck, you'll be ready for whatever the weather brings on your island getaway.

Inside, leave sandy shoes in the hallway and head into the light-filled open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area - the social heart of the home. Large windows and French doors fill the space with sunshine, while a plush sofa, Smart TV, and wood-burner-effect electric fire make it just as inviting on cooler days. The chic kitchen has everything you'll need for relaxed self-catering, plus a handy island with stools for chatting while you cook. Gather at the dining table by the window or step out onto the wrap-around decking for al fresco meals in the fresh island air. When it's time to turn in, choose between a master double room with an en-suite shower room or a cosy twin bedroom, both designed for a restful night's sleep, finished in soft neutral tones. A stylish family bathroom completes the layout. The sun-soaked decking wraps around the property, with plenty of spots for morning coffee, evening drinks, or simply soaking up the views. Private parking for two cars makes exploring the island easy.

You'll find yourself within a lush country park with two well-stocked fishing lakes on-site, while 2 miles away, the lively coastal town of Ryde awaits with its sandy beach, long promenade, and fantastic choice of shops, cafes, and seaside fun. Take a nostalgic trip on the Isle of Wight Steam Railway from Havenstreet (2.5 miles) or uncover local history at Carisbrooke Castle and Osborne House, both within 8 miles.

Fabulous lodge in an idyllic location, quiet and peaceful with a beautiful view of the countryside, rabbits and birds. Only 5/10 minutes from Ryde and a great base to explore the island. My wife, 14 and 11 year had a fantastic time visiting the Isle of Wight. Thank you The Barneys!

We had a wonderful stay at Holly's Retreat. The location is beautifully peaceful, perfect for a relaxing break away from the rush of everyday life. Inside, the property is very comfortable, with a warm and welcoming feel that made us feel at home straight away. Everything we needed was provided from a well-equipped kitchen to thoughtful touches thRead moreroughout making our stay easy and stress-free. The welcome gifts were a nice gesture, along with treats for the dog. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. It's so refreshing to stay in an obviously loved holiday home that doesn't use second hand tacky furnishings. A lovely place to unwind, and we would happily return. Hide

This was a really lovely place to stay. The lodge was clean and tidy with all the amenities/utensils etc that you would need. There were some nice touches, including a much needed welcome pack and even treats for the dog. The beds were comfortable, the showers had good pressure (not always the case) and the WiFi was reliable and fast so we were Read moreable to catch up on work. As it is south facing, mornings were lovely sitting on the terrace soaking up the sun. The location is very peaceful and quiet but it is only 5 minutes to Ryde for shopping. We will definitely stay again when we next visit the Island. Hide

Perfect in every way. Beautiful lodge short drive from Fishbourne Ferry Port in quiet location. Immaculately clean, cosy and well equipped with nice arrival treats. We enjoyed using the two fishing ponds/lakes that are on site with our 9yr old grandson. Tesco Online grocery shop deliver to this lodge which was helpful for us.
