Syrah Reviews

Trevor
Had a great relaxing holiday. Weather was glorious and hot tub was well used. The site was well maintained and Syrah was very clean and tidy and comfortable. The only thing I would have liked was a grab handle in the shower, but thats just me. Definitely 5 stars.
My father in laws family feedback is similar to ours, location excellent with lovely quiet views and comfortable beds. Place very dirty, sink, shelves, floor, they are both 80...but felt the need to clean all cupboards and contents before use for their safety and hygiene. Outdoor furniture rotten rusted out and flaking as ours was i moved them when required as i didn't want them hurt like me. R. Spoke to site maintenance about their toaster tripping out the power supply. Person came out and said the socket was faulty somehow and not to use. Nobody came back to fix or confirm if the problem was deeper or extremely dangerous. Also as my experience as ana engineer the socket should have had a label or tape put over stating the socket was potentially dangerous and should not be used. On the day of leaving other lodge users passed my Father in law and asked what he thought all said they asked as they where disgusted at how dirty and poorly maintained the properties where. Puzzled at the feedback from previous visitors compared to what we experienced and heard on site.
This property is maturing well as it had only been open a few months when we stayed last year. Well located for acess to all locations. Comfortable stay and relaxing site.
A great weeks holiday! We had a problem on arrival because the property hadnt been cleaned but this was sorted out really quickly for us with huge apologies. The lodge itself was lovely and we certainly made use of the great hot tub. 10 minutes walk to the beach and 1 minute from the Mermaid distillery and restaurant Id highly recommend it!
When viewing your site to book, lodges described as 2 bed and 2 ensuite which suited us. We arrived to find only one bathroom why? Also NO HAIRDRYER in the property. Otherwise all good and comfortable. Would love your feedback. Linda bishop
The property was very nice but my 75 year old wife had a real struggle with opening the bedroom doors, as the springs that close the doors were much too fierce. The shower was only tepid. A nonslip shower mat would be better for elderly people. We couldn't work out how to use the halogen hob. Three more small points a serving spoon was not provided, a 2 handed oven glove would have been safer and a coffee table would have been better than the rustic chest.
Daniel
Perfect property for anyone staying in the Isle Of Wight. Couldn't fault it one bit. We will definitely be back.

Just to say thank you to the entire team the Lodge was excellent. Xx
Excellent lodge and very well maintained. Had everything we needed. Lovely relaxing holiday.
John, site manager, was very helpful and introduced himself during the stay. Well presented property, all facilities were working and enjoyed sitting on the verandah or using the hot tub. In a good location for getting to all parts of the island although we stayed mainly on he east side as we've not been in that area before.
