Great place and hosts

Lovely setting and very comfortable. Hosts have thought of all the small touches ( hooks for coats /shoe rack) and everything was clean and well kept. Pool was excellent- just the right temperature. Red squirrel & many birds spotted in the garden. We will be back.

Half term with two kids and a baby

Monktonmead was a great place for my kids - they had a blast. It’s well located, there’s an indoor pool, and with the eaves and bunk bed, there’s lots of climbing up and down in monktonmead itself! The rooms were clean, a travel cot was kindly provided, the instructions for heating/lights were easy to understand and the indoor pool with inflatables is an excellent bonus. Would love to come back again.

A perfect getaway for a young family

Sue and Paul’s property is a perfect location for a young family holiday (2 and 4 yo children). The heated swimming pool is the ideal size for little swimmers, and the lodge has everything you need. The garden is kept beautifully and the children enjoyed the fish pond and playing on the decking. It’s ideally located, within a short distance of Fishbourne ferry port, and easy driving distance from everything the island has to offer. Sue and Paul were also the loveliest hosts. They were communicative, helpful and friendly. We will be coming again!!

Magical Hideaway

Having holidayed in the Isle of Wight for the past 20+ years staying at various hotels & BB’s, Monktonmead Lodge is by far the top of our list. The beautiful little gem tucked away near a nature reserve was the perfect location for my 84 year young mum, granddaughter 7months & daughter 19 years. Tranquil & magical setting with an indoor heated pool with changing area & WC (inflatables provided). The koi pond had seating areas to unwind and relax. Perfect hosts Sue & Paul were very welcoming & friendly. The lodge itself wanted for nothing excellent facilities & Sue & Paul had thought about all the little home from home comforts. A cot & high chair were provided. BBQ on the decking. 1 week wasn’t enough to appreciate the many nature walks this little piece of paradise had to offer. We will definitely be back.

A lovely little lodge stay

We had a lovely stay. The lodge was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. It was quite tucked away but the location in Ryde was great and easy to get to places. The fact there was a swimming pool to use was brilliant, our daughter loved it! The garden was beautiful too. We would definitely go back!

Just what we needed!

A thoroughly enjoyable stay over the Easter weekend. The property was clean, well appointed and felt spacious for our group of four. The pool was a game changer and Sue and Paul were incredibly helpful with recommendations for local eating etc. My only complaint is that we wanted to see more of their lovely dog!

Fabulous family holiday

We’ve just returned from a lovely week staying in monktonmead lodge. Sue & Paul are fantastic hosts and made us all feel very welcome. The lodge is well equipped with all you could need for a family holiday. The pool is fantastic and our children definitely made the most of it. We can’t wait to return next year 😀

Quiet spot

This challet is down a little road, in a quiet garden. It has it own large pool. Everything was clean and in good condition, and the owner were brilliant. We would definitely return to explore the isle of Wright more.

We had a wonderful time. Both lodges were super clean , cosy, comfortable and equipped with everything needed. We had both lodges for us and so the sole use of the fantastic pool. Garden around so great and Sue and Paul so helpful and discrete at the same time. We had a faboulus time! Thank you

Die Wohnung ist sehr klein - zu zweit in der Küche stehen ist schier unmöglich. Uns machte das aber gar nichts aus. Alles war sauber, zweckmäßig, die Vermieter sehr freundlich, die Umgebung traumhaft, das Schwimmbad großartig. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

We stayed at Arethusa at the end of August in the lodge which sleeps 6. It really was the perfect.

Setting: Amazing! The garden is so beautiful. We loved Ryde and especially Dell Cafe which is near Puckpool park. Pool: Brilliant and very clean, it’s a really good size and made swimming with 3 kids so easy. Accommodation: The lodge was small but perfectly formed. Immaculately presented with a great bathroom. The kids loved sleeping in the eaves. Hosts: Sue and Paul are so lovely, the perfect hosts!
