About the host

Hosted by Sue Massingham

Host profile image
We (Sue and Paul) relocated 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 look forward to welcoming more guests 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, right outside our front door is a 'natural' (not landscaped!) nature reserve and the property is detached with no nearby neighbours but doesn't feel isolated so suits us perfectly.

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 have many guests which return year after year and get booked well in advance so we think that speaks for itself.
