Claret Reviews

The basins in the bathrooms are ridiculous extremely poor choicedesign by the developer. It is impossible to wash or brush teeth in them without messing over the floor. The double bed mattress was quite soft. The emergency exit LED in the bedroom is too bright at night. The outside bedroom door has no window, and, what with the selfclosing inside bedroom door, there is no fresh air in the bedroom. The outside furniture had not been cleared of cobwebs for our arrival. Apart from the above criticisms, the dining and lounge furniture is good, and the kitchen facilities are very good.
Lovely stay beautiful location. On arriving we were pleased with the accommodation. Had the cleanliness been to a higher standard and a hoover provided the place would have been virtually unfaultable. Above that we had a lovely week and the hot tub was great after a day exploring the Isle of Wight.
Over all very comfortable and well equipped my only complaint would be that the ... Over all very comfortable and well equipped my only complaint would be that the twin beds were to small and to firm they needed replacing or toppings put on them they would be fine for children but not for adults
Fantastic weeks holiday at the Vineyard eco lodges. Brand new for 2022 and perfect for a group of 4 adults. Immaculate throughout and furnished to a very high standard with everything needed for self catering. Lovely welcome pack with essential items waiting on arrival. Hot tubs excellent. Every member of the team we met was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the island. Great location with views across the vineyard, a 15 minute walk down to the beach and a nice location for exploring the island by car. Ryde and Seaview a walkable distance along the waterfront with cafes and pubs along the way.
