Hurst Castle is an artillery fort built by Henry VIII at the seaward end of Hurst Spit, a long strip of shingle in Hampshire. It guarded the narrow western entrance to the Solent, and the setting feels properly remote, with the sea on both sides and the Isle of Wight just across the water.

Tip: Head up the Tudor keep to the roof for the best views over the Needles Passage to the Isle of Wight.

Ella, Tilbury
Date of stay: 8th May 2025

Wow, we had such a great stay! The lodge was even better than we thought - honestly, it exceeded our expectations. The walk-in wardrobes in both rooms were a real treat and having TVs in all the bedrooms was such a nice touch. The loft space was a bonus too! The only thing was the double bed mattress was a bit smaller than the frame, but it didn't ruin our trip at all. Weve definitely been spoiled now and will be booking lodges more often!

James, Bristol
Date of stay: 25th April 2025

The room was a bit cosy, but overall, it was a nice, clean place.

Jessie, Sutton Coldfield
Date of stay: 20th April 2025

Great spot to relax with everything nearby.

Emma, Luton
Date of stay: 18th April 2025

Lovely trip, would recommend it

Emma, Hereford
Date of stay: 3rd April 2025

The caravan was nice overall, but we only had one bread knife, so we had to pick up a small one ourselves.

Alex, Gillingham Kent
Date of stay: 30th March 2025

Great space with comfy beds, perfect for a relaxing stay!
