Gaze out towards the trees from the sizeable deck at this welcoming Isle of Wight holiday lodge. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway nestles on a well-kept site near Roebeck Country Park, 2 miles from the centre of Ryde. Perfect for families or couples wishing to bring dogs, it offers access to leafy walks and on-site fishing lakes.
Climb four steps up to the wooden deck that wraps around part of the single-storey retreat. Enter to find yourselves in a light-filled open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a warm welcome and high level of comfort. Keep the doors open in summer to enjoy indoor/outdoor living or cosy up beside the electric flame-effect fire on colder days as you watch the Smart TV. Choose a book from the shelves to leaf through as you sip fresh coffee from the machine up at the breakfast bar. Discover the kitchen is also exceptionally well equipped for self-catering and that the dining table is a great spot for lively holiday meals. As the sun sets over the fields around you, meander through to one of your inviting bedrooms. These include a twin, which has a walk-in wardrobe, and a king-size, with an en-suite shower room and private dressing room. Choose between a soak in the bath or a quick shower in the family bathroom. Spend as much time outside as possible, savouring the superb space on the deck. Your children or pets might also like to play on the small lawn while you keep an eye on them. There is off-road parking for three cars.
Take buckets and spades to Appley Beach, just 2.5 miles away. Ryde Beach, a similar distance, is also very family friendly. Shop and have lunch in bustling Ryde, then while away an afternoon at tranquil Quarr Abbey, 3 miles from your lodge.
