Magical Hideaway

Having holidayed in the Isle of Wight for the past 20+ years staying at various hotels & BB’s, Monktonmead Lodge is by far the top of our list. The beautiful little gem tucked away near a nature reserve was the perfect location for my 84 year young mum, granddaughter 7months & daughter 19 years. Tranquil & magical setting with an indoor heated pool with changing area & WC (inflatables provided). The koi pond had seating areas to unwind and relax. Perfect hosts Sue & Paul were very welcoming & friendly. The lodge itself wanted for nothing excellent facilities & Sue & Paul had thought about all the little home from home comforts. A cot & high chair were provided. BBQ on the decking. 1 week wasn’t enough to appreciate the many nature walks this little piece of paradise had to offer. We will definitely be back.

The owners of this property were welcoming and very friendly. They ,could not do enough for us. The property itself was very clean and the facilities were excellent. The indoor pool was a really nice addition to the facilities. We would definitely book again and are already looking at a return date. A great place to stay with really nice owners

Great place and hosts

Lovely setting and very comfortable. Hosts have thought of all the small touches ( hooks for coats /shoe rack) and everything was clean and well kept. Pool was excellent- just the right temperature. Red squirrel & many birds spotted in the garden. We will be back.

Half term with two kids and a baby

Monktonmead was a great place for my kids - they had a blast. It’s well located, there’s an indoor pool, and with the eaves and bunk bed, there’s lots of climbing up and down in monktonmead itself! The rooms were clean, a travel cot was kindly provided, the instructions for heating/lights were easy to understand and the indoor pool with inflatables is an excellent bonus. Would love to come back again.

About the host

Hosted by Sue Massingham

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.
