Woodside Bay Lodge Retreat - Reviews

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!

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

Really enjoyed our stay, will come back!

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!

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!

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!

We loved the huge windows with stunning views and the place was so spacious and comfy. Everything we needed was right there, really well equipped.

We had a fantastic short getaway, even in the off-season. The isl and always impresses us.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, despite some cleaning issues.

We had a lovely stay at the lodge! It was spotless and felt really well looked after. The linen, towels and robes were great and we appreciated the little touches like tea, coffee and the dishwasher. Just a tiny issue with the en-suite door not locking, but otherwise perfect!

Honestly, the lodge was fantastic overall! The only tiny gripe was the flat sheet on the bed - kept slipping off every night, which was a bit of a pain. But honestly, its a minor thing. We had a great holiday and would happily return. Definitely recommend!

We spent an amazing few days here and definitely plan to return. Will happily suggest it to friends!

We had a really nice stay at Woodside Bay Lodge. The location is peaceful and the views are lovely - perfect for relaxing. The hot tub was a real highlight after busy days exploring. Beds were comfy and there was plenty of space for everyone. Definitely a place to return to!

Overall, the lodge was decent but a few things could be better. Some blinds didnt fully close and the pull cords were broken, which was a bit frustrating. The en-suite tap wobbled quite a bit and the Velux windows kept sticking open until maintenance sorted it out. Not perfect, but manageable.

Really enjoyed our stay, highly recommend!

We had to order our meal to the lodge since no seating options available, which was quite nice actually. We asked for a second dressing gown, but it never arrived, even though they said it was on its way. Slightly disappointing!

We arrived to find no electric on one side of the lodge, which was a bit of a surprise. Turns out the trip switch had gone, so that was sorted quickly. The skylight blinds wouldnt open fully because the remote was broken and theres no pole to open them manually, which was a bit frustrating. Also, the guttering really needs regular clearing - with all the leaves, it was like having waterfalls outside the windows! Definitely needs some attention there.

We loved the peaceful setting in the woods, very relaxing. The hot tub was fantastic and the lodge was just perfect. Didnt want to leave at all!

We really enjoyed Bembridge; the place had all the facilities we needed and the setting was gorgeous. The beds were super comfy and the kitchen was lovely to cook in. The only minor issue was the TV in the living room, which kept cutting out in 91. Thanks a lot!

Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was perfect for us and the hot tub was a bonus!

Looking forward to booking again once things feel more normal around here.

We had a fantastic birthday weekend here! The beds were really comfy and the fresh linen and towels made it feel special. The kitchen was fully equipped and easy to use and having extra bedrooms was definitely worth it. The living space was cosy and the outdoor area was huge with plenty of furniture. Those patio doors and the view? Absolutely stunning! Wed definitely come back.

Very welcoming atmosphere, super comfy and the staff truly made our stay special.

We really enjoyed our stay at cabin 21, especially the hot tub which was a highlight for us. The place overall was lovely and the few issues we noticed didn't spoil the trip, but theyre worth mentioning. Some of the fake logs in the fire surround have started to come loose and it kinda ruins the effect when you can see the glue and backboard. The kickboard in the kitchen kept falling off because its loose, which was a bit annoying. Also, a piece of the edge on the worktop has chipped off - nothing major, but still noticeable. A few of the deck lights werent working or needed new bulbs, so a quick fix there would help. These are all minor things, but fixing them up would make the place even better. Overall, we had a great time and would come back!

Really enjoyed our stay, it was actually even better than last time!

We had an amazing time! The place was super peaceful, perfect for unwinding and just a short stroll to the beach. Honestly, we loved it!

Overall, we had a decent stay. The outdoor space was perfect for the kids-really secure and spacious. The lodge was spotlessly clean, which was great, but the soft furnishings could use some TLC; the sofas and carpets smelled a bit musty and had stains. The kitchen was okay, though it could do with more utensils for self-catering. Loved the big fridge and wine cooler though-definitely a plus! Would stay again.

We had a mostly nice stay, but there were some annoyances. The cleanliness wasnt perfect - we found hairs in the bath and on the tiles, which was a bit off-putting. The highchair we hired was covered in black dust, so we had to give it a proper clean before using it. The worst part was the broken glass that was left untouched even after we asked. Still, the lodge itself was lovely and didnt spoil our holiday too much.

Great spot for a chill break, would definitely come back.

Really enjoyed our stay, the bed was super comfy and perfect!

Lovely accommodation and staff. Quiet and peaceful

Lovely place. well maintaind

Gorgeous beach onsite for families.

We stayed in the tree house which beautifully secluded and only seconds from the beach. We were regularly visited by red squirrels, robins, wood peckers and a wealth of other creatures. It was a delightfully relaxing holiday, with so much to do on the island. Will definitely visit again.

2 year returning. Ages from 17-83 yrs. Lodges are clean and equipped well. If there is any issues maintenance are there within the hour. Nice quiet place to stay, with idealic surroundings

Amazing site, excellent value for money. Clean, comfortable, beautiful lodges. In a stunning location.
For WiFi lovers, it's the best we've ever had.
What a perfect place to stay on such a stunning island.

Loved this lodge, better equipped than my home. Most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. Lovely helpful staff.
The addition of an outdoor pool would make it perfect in my opinion.

Had an amazing holiday with family beautiful and tranquil location and perfect for getting around the island. Spacious accommodation and hot tub well maintained. Definitely go again and 100% recommend to friends/family.

Beautiful place to stay had a amazing stay wasn’t anything to do on site but we just went round places on island
