Claret Reviews

This was our second time at this location. Has everything you need and good location. The bedding was a bit bobbly but otherwise clean and tidy. Hot tub was a real bonus.

Tracey

The lodge was clean and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. A very lovely lodge in nice surroundings. The Mermaid Gin distillery and pub on the door step with good food and drink. Cant wait to come back. I would highly recommend this place. Mrs T Mitchell.

Our lodge at 'The Vineyard' lived up to expectation. 'Claret' was very comfortable, well equipped & provided an excellent base for us to explore the IOW. The welcome groceries milk, bottled water, teacoffee biscuits & cruetwere appreciated. The hot tub was an excellent facility to relax in at the end of tge day & the convenience of having the Mermaid Bar on our doorstep was an added bonus. Mel & Jon were efficient & welcoming & provide an excellent customer service.

Patricia

We were delighted with our stay at the property. We found the lodge to be very comfortable and it was really clean and tidy and very convenient for travelling about the island. The outlook from our lodge was delightful and very scenic. One downside were the very tiny sinks in the bathrooms which made it impossible to wash comfortably. We also had a small problem with the refrigerator in the kitchen due to it not being cleaned from the previous occupants as there was rancid milk in the salad drawer and sitting on the bottom shelf. We were very lucky with the weather and were able to fill our week with visiting plenty of interesting places. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time.

Although we have stayed at this location before hence we rebooked we were ... Although we have stayed at this location before hence we rebooked we were disappointed that the garden furniture was covered in bird droppings and cobwebs so obviously not cleaned in ages so couldnt use it had to buy chairs to sit outside also we couldnt use the hottub on the first day as wasnt hot found getting key code etc on arrival we had to do all the messaging and chasing to get in not helpful at all then maintenance came round mid week with no warning as we were napping and started do stuff when we were lying there totally unacceptable

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.
