  • "As per other comments, why is the green light in the bedrooms so bright?"

    . The shower in the double bedroom still leaks. Why is the central heating thermostat in the bedroom? Light switches are in some odd places , the bathroom light switch is behind the wardrobe. No coat hooks where do you hang wet coats when you come in. The curtains across the main living area offer no privacy. Well situated on the island. Sleeps four adults but only a two seater sofa. Beds very comfortable. Well equipped with all appliances.

  • "Very much enjoyed our stay and loved the hot tub."

    Our only criticism was the same as previous occupants, namely the very bright green light in the bedroom and the heavy doors. Otherwise, the accommodation was comfortable and pleasantly furnished and decorated. Ideal location for touring the island. We would definitely stay here again.

  • "Two very minor points: the clock needed a new battery, we think."

    The corner of the shower, same wall as the wash basin seemed to have a leak: we found puddles on the floor after showering. Otherwise, well equipped with cutlery, crockery and glassware. Bedding was clean and comfortable. The hot-tub was a pleasant novelty for us. We enjoyed our stay very much.

  • "Excellent facilities in a good location for touring the island."

    Only a short distance from the ferry port. Accommodation was spacious and comfortable and the hot tub was an added bonus.

  • "We had a stay in Cava."

    It was spotless, we had everything we needed . The only downside , and the reason. It got 4 stars instead of 5 , was the green light in the bedrooms. It made sleep difficult and nobody seemed to know why it was there. We had lovely weather and the IOW was charming .

  • "We stayed here for a week in June."

    Check-in was contactless with a key safe (we were given the combination a few days before). Access to the park is through the car park for the Mermaid Gin Distillery (The Wishing Well pub). Some lodges have parking adjacent, however not all (including Cava) however this was not an issue as you could park outside to unload and then leave your car in The Vineyard car park by the entrance (no distance at all and in sight from the lodge). The lodge was extremely clean throughout and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed for a self-catering holiday including dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and full size oven. Unfortunately it only has a small fridge with an icebox freezer (ideally this could have been bigger). A nice touch was the complimentary starter pack of dishwasher tablets, washing tablets, washing up liquid and the welcome pack of milk, small pats of butter, shortbread biscuits, jams and tea and coffee sachets. There is an information folder in the lodge which contains a contact number should you have any issues (we had a minor issue with the hot tub one evening and it was fixed the next day and our text message was responded to within a few minutes). Some people have mentioned about the bright green emergency lights in the bedrooms, which is true, however we found these to helpful to find the way to the bathroom in the middle of night without stubbing toes !!. Also we found that when we closed our eyes to go to sleep, we couldn't see these lights !! There are no facilities at the park which suited us perfectly as we like the peace and quiet. However there is a Tesco Extra a five minute drive away and more importantly the gin distillery a minutes walk up the pathway(!!) which is well worth a visit, not just for the gin, but for their well stocked bar with local beers (Goddards), their good food menu and lovely outside terrace area at the rear overlooking the vineyard and fields. We would not hesitate to return to the vineyard lodges - in fact we want to return sometime in the future. A fantastic holiday.

  • "This was a great property, one of the best we have been to over the years."

    So quiet and peaceful and in a lovely setting. The only negative was the bright green light in the bedroom. Would however highly recommend these eco lodges and we will be visiting again in the near future.

    I suspect the owner has not seen them at night they would light up a village hall and you cant turn them off

  • "Lovely accommodation in a good location."

    Helpful to be informed of the need to bring towels for the hot tub and tea towels. Just wish we had known we needed to bring our own hairdryer as non provided in the property. Also no bin liners in bin or oven gloves but otherwise well equipped. Will recommend to friends.

About the location

SEAVIEW

Ryde 2.6 miles.

Seaview is a small Edwardian seaside village on the north eastern shores of the Isle of Wight, only a 15 minute drive from the superb transport links of Ryde. Seaview is one of the South of England’s most famous holiday destinations, with a reputation of being an upmarket resort. This lovely seaside resort has stunning views out across the Solent, gorgeous golden sandy beaches, a sailing club, boutique shops and many popular restaurants and pubs, such as The Seaview Hotel and The Old Fort. On the coastal footpath towards Ryde just off Springvale is Puckpool Park, an old Victorian Fortification Battery, now with tennis courts, mini-golf and a children’s play area set within its pretty gardens. In the summer, locals and tourists take part in the famous Seaview Regatta, competing in many traditional activities, with races on the beach at Seagrove Bay, rowing in the village’s own unique boats, tug of war, the greasy pole and diving, all concluded at the end of the week with a magnificent firework display. As well as being a coastal village the nearby countryside at Seaview’s Duver is a nature reserve, with frequent visits from the beautiful red squirrel, as well as having an incredible array of bird life. A wonderful Isle of Wight base.
