Lovely stay at Woodside Lodge

We really enjoyed our short stay at Woodside Lodge. The lodge was very clean, well equipped and in a beautiful garden setting. We particularly loved seeing the red squirrels. Sue and Paul are super hosts; great communication throughout the booking process/prior to arrival and very welcoming. Our children loved the pool, especially with the added bonus of the inflatables! We will definitely be returning. Thank you Sue and Paul.

Cosy lodge set in beautiful garden in tranquil setting

Very clean and cosy lodge with friendly hosts. Our dogs were made very welcome! Beautiful well kept garden with indoor swimming pool open to guests. Setting on the edge of Ryde with quick and easy access to both shops and countryside. Would highly recommend.

Amazing

Wonderful hosts, Sue & Paul couldn't do enough. Never intrusive but there if you needed them. Lodge spotless & very comfortable with everything you need plus more! Gardens beautiful, especially the pond (magical) & the pool was the cherry on top. Area fab for walking, right on the doorstep so no need to drive anywhere. Very dog friendly. Very peaceful with only the sound of birds. Also seen a few red squirrels in the garden! Will definitely return & would recommend to anyone 👌

Lovely, cosy lodge

We thoroughly enjoyed the lodge and the pool and everything was very clean and well looked after, lodge had everything we needed. Had a lovely time but felt it was a bit far from the beach and attractions unless you used your car. We had terrible weather but it looked like the surrounding walks & gardens would be great in the summer. Sue & Paul were lovely and very helpful and Gracie was a sweetheart.

Tranquil retreat in beautiful surroundings

I had a wonderful few days staying at Woodside Lodge.. Paul and Sue were considerate, helpful, friendly hosts and I felt welcomed and immediately at home. Woodside Lodge was comfortable and very clean with all I could need for my stay. The garden is beautiful with a tranquil fish pond to retreat to and meditate by . There is also a private swimming pool which was wonderful. Arethusa Cottage is well situated to explore the island from. I walked miles every day and found some truly beautiful places. As a lone traveler I would highly recommend staying in this beautiful place with Paul and Sue as hosts . I could not have wanted for more.

About the host

Hosted by Sue Massingham

We (Sue and Paul) moved to Arethusa Cottage in early 2020, from our home in Surrey. The lodges in our grounds were already established as holiday lets and we were thrilled to be taking over the business. Our background is in the hospitality industry, but more recently working in a church (property management and caretaking), plus pet food delivery, dog sitting and dog walking! We have made a number of improvements to the lodges and grounds and we love running the business which is proving to be very busy. We have a tri-paw Romanian rescue dog - the island has loads of dog friendly places. We look forward to welcoming more guests (and their dogs) to the beautiful Isle of Wight.

Why they chose this property

Arethusa Cottage has a rich local history and the setting of the cottage and lodges is wonderful - secluded but within walking distance of the beach and Ryde town. Pig Leg Lane nature reserve (which is rough and non-landscaped) which surrounds the cottage and lodges means that the property is quiet but not isolated as the town is so nearby.

What makes this property unique

The indoor (heated) private pool is a real added bonus for these lodges and is available all year round for guests to enjoy. We get quite a lot of two generation families booking both lodges as the whole family can be together but have independence with their own space too.
