We spent a week here in mid-July with our two mini dachshunds and honestly, the dogs loved it! They made some friends in the charming village of Thaxted, which was a lovely bonus. The cottage itself is really cosy and the hot tub was a real highlight-especially with the hot weather, the cool water was so refreshing. The hosts were genuinely friendly and welcoming and it was nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields daily. Plus, watching the planes land near Stansted added a bit of excitement. We’d definitely recommend it!

Really enjoyed the walk, the fields were lovely and having the dogs there made it perfect!

We had such a great stay at this lovely spot! The setting is super peaceful and private, perfect for a relaxing break. The owners are really friendly and gave us just the right amount of help, without intruding. The hot tub was a highlight after a long day cycling - bliss! Only thing to mention is that it’s right under Stansted’s flight path, so there’s quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didn’t bother us much once we got used to it, but it’s worth knowing if you’re sensitive to noise. Overall, a fantastic place!

The cottage was just lovely, especially the hot tub and log burner! Hosts were really friendly and it was so peaceful. Can't wait to come back soon!

The best place ever

we have been coming to the island for years and this has been the best time we have had, The staff were amazing, the pool and life guards were great, the kids loved it when the life guard squirted them with the hose. To be able to walk to a beach on site and also have priory Bay in walking distance was a massive highlight for me, I've already been sending people links for Nodes point and will definitely be booking for next year. Hearing all their laughter and seeing my kids faces light up and be so happy and relaxed was the cherry on the cake for both my husband and I. we've done nothing but talk about it.. Thank you for the wonderful happy memories

Lovely camp, beautiful caravans

Entertainment & pub were top notch

We had a very enjoyable experience with the facilities and friendliness of staff. The only downside was in the availability of food in the restaurant. For a seaside resort to not have fish and chips available all week is not good. Also by wednesday the scampi had run out and there were no Pizzas available after the first night for the rest of the week. I had plenty of choice but my two muslim refugees can only eat Halal meat so without fish or pizzas there was very little choice on the menu for them. Surely in the 21st century there could be at least one Halal option. The table ordering did not work and with only 1 member of staff taking orders and getting drinks the queues were long and slow.

Beautiful place. Well worth a visit. Lovely staff

Lovely location lovely friendly staff chalet could've been a bit cleaner on arrival but overall a great stay and will come back again as have before ?

Best holiday ever, 1st time to the Isle of white and was not disappointed. The park is amazing with fantastic views and amazing staff. The lodge was spotless with everything you need. The food on site is great value for money and tastes great. We loved it that much we plan to book again for even longer.
