Cava Reviews

We stayed on this site last year, but in a different, identical property, because we love the location, and appreciate the standard of cleanliness, having two shower rooms, and being close to the Wishing Well pub, the home of the Mermaid gin distillery. The accommodation is pleasant, if somewhat small, with a well equipped kitchen. Our only niggle, given that due to the inclement weather we did spend more time indoors this year, is that the lounge area is too small for 4 adults to relax in. Reconfiguration of furniture, with a smaller dining area, would make a huge difference to the comfort rating.
Dianne
The property was just as described and very comfortable with most things provided for a pleasant stay. We missed a teapot and a few pegs but minor details. Be aware that The Wishing Well pub on site takes last orders for food at 7.30. We can recommend two places to eat in Seaview. The Boathouse and The Old Fort. Both excellent menus the latter more pub vibes, both on the seafront and relatively close to home. Would highly recommend the lodges.
This was a well presented lodge. It was clean and had good facilities. The listing and pictures were a true representation. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub.
Second time at this property its in a beautiful position very quiet and peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay we will be back
Our only problem was that the kettle needed cleaning when we arrived, this we did but suggest you ask the owners to ensure that this happen in future. We found the sink in the ensuite too small.
Had a fabulous week at Cava & will definitely return. Ideal location & well positioned on quiet, well kept site. For us it was perfect no dogs or children. Ecolodge very comfortable & well appointed, with large decked area. Hot tub location at the back of the property gave much appreciated privacy. A couple of suggested tweaks to consider somewhere to hang coats reduce strength of closures on internal doors.
Loved our stay in the lodge, lovely setting in The Vineyards. The bathroom light switch in the double bedroom was covered by the wardrobe? Couldnt get to one of the sockets in the twin due to bed covering it? Not a big problem, worked around it. No clear info on where the outside bins were? Information pack only included instructions for cooker and washing machine. Could have had localIOW info eg places to eat and visit. Overall, the lodge was great and suited our needs for a four night stay.
Bernard
Because of a broken glass front door of Cava caused by a stone thrown by a mower before we arrived we received a text saying that we had been transferred to the next door Chiantino problem! The accommodation was excellent ,clean ,comfortable ,warm and welcoming with all amenities and facilities functioning , including the very welcome hot tub as the weather was rather colder than anticipated. No problem at all with the excellent accommodation. Would certainly come again!
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.
Debbie
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 hottub was a pleasant novelty for us. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Terence
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.
Amazing stay. It was nice and peaceful and so close to everything. Would stay here again.
Brenda
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 .
Andrew
We stayed here for a week in June. Checkin 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 selfcatering 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.
Timothy
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.
Adrian
Very clean and comfortable, well maintained grounds and property. Great location.
We had a much needed relaxing stay at Cava. It was absolutely perfect, extremely well equipped and the hot tub was fantastic!
Absolutely loved our stay here and will definitely be back again! Hot tub was great and lovely for star gazing in the evenings on a clear night. Highly recommended!
Elizabeth
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.
Vernon
Great lodge. Good location. Easy walk into Seaview. Proximity to pub and distillery very handy.
