We stayed at this lodge again recently and its still such a lovely spot for couples. Its cosy and comfortable, perfect for relaxing weekends. That said, we did spot a few minor issues - the shower head was leaking and the toilet seat wobbled a bit. Still, overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will return!

Oliver, Rochester
Date of stay: 12th April 2025

Nice place, but a few small fixes could make it perfect.

Emma, Guildford Surrey
Date of stay: 6th March 2025

We had such a lovely stay! The cabin was immaculate, really clean, sanitised and sealed, which we appreciated, especially with Covid still around. Even though the restaurant was closed in the evenings, they made up for it with a great selection of meals delivered right to our door - all hot, well presented and tasty. The hot tub was a real highlight - it was spotless and perfectly warm, even with the miserable weather outside. The space inside was surprisingly roomy; we were eight adults and never felt cramped. The kitchen had everything we needed, though a spatula or tongs wouldve been handy. All in all, wed definitely recommend it and would happily come back if we visit the isl and again. Thanks for a great experience!

Emily, Portsmouth
Date of stay: 21st February 2025

We recently spent two nights at a Winford Premier Lodge and honestly, it was pretty great. Checking in was hassle-free-just collected the keys from reception and headed straight to the lodge. The place itself was spacious and well-equipped, with a dishwasher, washing machine, oven, fridge-freezer and two TVs. All the cutlery, pans and crockery youd need were there too. The hot tub on the deck was at the perfect temp and the instructions made it easy to use safely. Everything looked fresh, modern and spotless. Plus, the location was spot on - we were less than 20 minutes from all the main attractions on the Isle of Wight. Well definitely be coming back again, for sure!

James, Isle Of Wight
Date of stay: 29th December 2024

We had a decent stay overall, but the cleanliness of the lodge wasnt quite up to scratch, especially since check-in now involves extra cleaning. The bar and reception were closed, which was a bit of a pain. They only had outside seating, even though regulations now let you sit inside. Still, it was okay!
