Woodside Coastal Retreat - Reviews

A little tired and could have been cleaner

Furniture needs replacing

See above review

The table was sticky and covered in crumbs on arrival. The duvets on beds stainedCobwebs & spiders on skirting boards Saucepan was disgusting, we had to go buy our own ! !

We checked in just before 4pm, check in staff were lovely and helpful. Bar area very reasonably priced. We drove to our lodge and had a look round, tv unit thick of dust, the lodge needs lots of tlc. Vinyl wrapping peeling off cupboard doors and doors not on the hinges properly. Blinds full of dust. Previous peoples shopping in freezer. Its clear that cleaning staff are not doing a thorough job and maintenance need to fix issues in the lodge. Hot tub, decking and view are amazing. Ive noticed that next year is a ridiculous amount for peak season, I would not pay that and would be disappointed, would return if lodges are updated to match the big prices.

The lodge itself is in a perfect setting but needs some minor repairs in some areas due to the volume of usage. It doesn't detract from a wonderful stay at a great location

Broken dishwasher door, en suite shower was filthy, needed to dust and clean on arrival. Old vape liquid under kids beds. Picture fell off wall in kids room.

Just needs a little bit of tlc nothing major

Lodge is dated, it didn't appear to have been cleaned. Food drums on the sofa's and around the kitchen table, hairs in the bedding and floors were dirty. There was a lot of cutlery missing from the kitchen. Windows and doors dorty, don't appear to have been cleaned.

Lovely little retreat without the hustle and bustle of larger sites. The lodge was a good size for our group and would easily accommodate 4 adults and two kids in 2x double and 1 x twin rooms. As with all rented holiday accommodation, don't expect the Ritz, you are going to get a few scuff marks here and there, but the lodge was well equipped and our needs were met, very plug and play. The outside is peaceful and the deck area with hot tub coupled with the sounds of nature was just great. Overall a great comfortable bolt hole to explore the island from.

We were a three-generational family of four. We all enjoyed the accommodation and surroundings. Anything we needed was available. A little disappointed with the beach but that didnt matter. Wi-fi went off after a storm but it was fixed fairly quickly.

Woodside retreat was very quiet. Cabins were very spacious. Staff very friendly.

The lodge we were in was very battered and in need of some well overdue maintenance. It was clean but all the little things that make a stay feel "premium" were just missing completely. We were in a pet friendly lodge but none of the issues would've been pet related. The flooring in the bathroom was all peeled and worn, the shower in the en-suite didn't drain well so a lot water built up in the shower tray. The dishwasher was missing the wheels on the bottom tray and didn't wash well. The kitchen cupboards were worn and outer coating was peeling badly, in some parts totally torn off. Not major things as the lodge was clean and fit for use but it just wasn't the "premium" feel you would expect when booking a premium lodge.

All round wonderful holiday . Was clean well equipped comfortable lovely surroundings situated with amazing views . The staff were very friendly polite and welcoming . Would highly recommend and cant wait to holiday there again .

Lodge itself was ok, however we were unable to open balcony doors due to lost keys by previous tenants. Even though it was reported and checked by nice handyman nothing was done and we couldnt use our lodge as we would like to. Not sure why but even though bedding looked fresh, there was a sand in there. Overall we are really happy and happy to come back next year, hopefully to better and cleaner lodge.

Beautiful lodge

Had everything we wanted. Well equipped and clean. The beds were very clean and comfortable ????

The lodge only had small sofas for 8 people was not ever going to work . Friday again for 8 again was far too small . Dining seating not the most comfortable . Part from that was nice

table tops need upgrading, poor surfaces, but lodge very good condition

Lodges are starting to look a bit tired and the place clearly hasnt been hoovered before we got there as there was popcorn in and under the sofas and lots of dead flys

Great value for money and the hot tubs are checked daily there are even large dishwashers in the kitchens

Stunning views across the Solent.

Needs more thorough cleaning , cobwebs and dusty lets a lovely lodge down shower needs re sealing , door on washing machine missing , needs cereal bowls that are deeper ! More hangers in wardrobes needed !

Loverly holiday great weather Plenty of nice beaches and views. Some places a little run down but generally nice and clean

Great to have our own hot tub.The lodge is looking shabby , and needs some tlc. But for 5 days it would do

Perfect. Excellent lodge with fab view of sea. Clean and tidy with everything you need. Comfy beds.

Needed another double bed in my opinion but comfortable and the hot tub was lush !

Overall, great, just the lodge was starting to show its age but nothing a little tlc couldnt fix.Great location & surroundings though!

Loved the site. Beautiful location. Friendly and helpful staff. Spacious and clean lodge. Wonderful views.

Excellent place.

Lovely and peaceful

A lovely quaint place to relax in!!!

Really enjoyed the stay.

Beautiful quiet location, lovely views looking out to sea, enjoyed so much have booked for later in year.

We booked just a few weeks before we went on holiday here and the price was very good. Excellent location, beautiful views, very friendly and helpful reception staff. We didn’t get chance to use the restaurant but the bar and staff are great.

Lovely relaxing place to stay. Very close to the beach and very quiet

Lovely side sea view lodge (No 33) and peacefully quiet! Overall would definitely recommend these lodges in this location.
