The Whole Lodge
The Neighborhood:
Poppy is under 3.5 miles from Ryde’s Town Centre, with its marina, boating lake, children’s rides, indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, bowling Greens, as well as having many international restaurants, pubs, cafés, boutiques, and antique shops. Something for everyone. Whilst the 6 miles of golden, gently sloping sandy beaches are ideal for bathing in the summer and breath-taking embracing walks in the winter. There is no better way to start your day, than taking a brisk walk from Ryde to Seaview while watching the sun rise, then pop into a café in Seaview and walk home.
Ryde also benefits from having superb transport links therefore no need for a car; the Wightlink Catamaran passenger ferry connects you to the train at the top of the pier, which can take you all the way to Shanklin if desired. The Hover comes over from Southsea, and provided a unique mode of transport, and only takes 10 minutes.
Next door to the train station at the bottom of the pier you will find the bus station, with buses waiting to take you all the way around the island.
Therefore, making Poppy the perfect base to explore the whole island.

The lodge was so well equipped and the booking process was really well managed
Had a lovely stay and would recommend the lodge as a comfortable clean and restful place on a calm and picturesque site.
Defined/dedicated bins for the recycling inside the property perhaps?

Lovely lodge, was spacious and had everything we could possibly need. Clean and tidy, tea towels, bath towel etc all supplied. Nice to see the sun come up whilst looking at the view over the small lake to the fields. Would definitely like to come back.

Perfect Holiday Home!
Lodge was beautifully clean and welcoming. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked and spotless - the best we have ever come across in any self-catering holiday home. The bed and sofas were comfortable and the location was perfect with the pond and views and was lovely to hear the wildlife in the peaceful surroundings. It was nice to know other people were around in the other lodges so didn't feel isolated but had the privacy as well. Justine was promptly available if any questions did arise.
