This lovely lodge set in the owner's extensive garden was a real find. The wildlife visited daily (red squirrels, spotted woodpecker, blue tits, chaffinches, pheasants, rabbits to name but a few). The amenities were 5*, and extremely comfortable. We would highly recommend this self catering home. It's set in the countryside, but only a couple of miles away from Ryde, with great access to the whole of the IOW. We will definitely be back as it was so relaxin. We had a wonderful Easter Break. Thank you Justine (the owner) for making our stay so special.

This is a beautiful little lodge in secluded gardens surrounded by all kinds of birds including woodpeckers and barn owls as well as lovely red squirrels in the tree which can be seen from the kitchen window. Thoughtful owner has made sure there are all creature comforts including a very large, supremely comfortable bed. There is minimal light pollution in this area even though it's very close to the ferry terminal and Ryde. The Fishbourne pub nearby is very cosy and Christmassy.

Mrs Geddes

Justine, the owner is a lovely lady, and went way beyond what was expected .. Tea, Coffee, Sugar, Milk and fresh Milk were supplied, also Biscuits. The Lodge itself, was beautiful inside, and the owner had thought of everything. A basket of magazines and maps. A book on the Isle of Wight. A bird book ,and binoculars. There is a small tree outside the kitchen area window, and Justine has placed bird feeders on it , which she refills everyday. We were entertained by a variety of birds including pheasants, we also saw red squirrels feeding. The Lodge is in the owners ground in a peaceful setting .

We stayed at this lovely place for one week, the weather - a bonus, but what a beautiful setting and lovely 'Cabin' to enjoy our week, the cabin is appointed to an extremely good standard and has everything you could possibly need for a restful, peaceful week. The surprise was the abundant wildlife surrounding us, many RED Squirrels, Stoats, Rabbits, wild fowl, Blue Tits, Great Tits, Goldfinches, Woodpeckers, BARN OWLS - I'M SURE I've missed some out, but you get the picture I'm sure! Beautifully sloping lawn from the entrance down to the cabin, trees nearby cabin which are frequented by Red Squirrels all day, many birds too. This place is a lovely sheltered and property, privacy assured as owner away most of the day, the owner is a lovely lady who is so helpful and welcoming. We had no reason to go out much, the swimming pool a very welcome bonus. All in all, a fabulously peaceful place, restful sleep is assured, we'll be back ther in 2019 and looking forward to it immensly.

We enjoyed the quietness of the venue.. It was fascinating to see so many wild birds just outside our kitchen window. It was a thrill to follow the family of owls early morning and late at night.

Warmly welcomed by Justine the owner.. Location perfect - peaceful with lots of wildlife. Comfortable chalet with all mod cons. Didn't use the swimming pool but I'm sure if we'd asked it would have been fine to do so.

The Springs is a beautiful place to stay.. Home from home with all that you could possibly need and such a lovely calming peaceful place to relax after long days out exploring the island. The many animals and birds that visit the garden are a joy to watch and we managed to get some brilliant photos. We were lucky with the weather too, what a wonderful week we had, thank you so much Justine for allowing us to stay in your lovely holiday cottage.

Mr Carter

We found the property, clean, comfortable and surrounded by peace and quiet.. There was an abundance of nature with many types of birds and the lovely red squirrels. The owners had provided bird feeders just outside of the chalet which attracted the birds and squirrels, we spent a lot of time being entertained. The chalet was in a remote area away from light pollution which allowed spectacular views of the night sky. The chalet was fully equipped with every conceivable piece of equipment, books and dvd's. We were so impressed with The Springs, we are hoping to stay again in the future when we visit our family on the Isle of Wight.
Mrs Sayers

Luvley cottage/lodge. Very well furnished. All amenities catered for. In a very nice part of the Isle of Wight. The red squirrels and birds in grounds a real treat. And also the amazing giant sized bed.
Mrs Naylor

It was perfect for rest and relaxation. It was our second visit and this time we went for two weeks as one wasn't enough. An ideal base for just nipping out to discover the lovely island. The Springs is just beautiful.
Mr Godfrey

A lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings with a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. The wild life is fantastic with red squirrels, pheasants and wild birds including woodpeckers. If you are a enthusiastic walker like us this area is an ideal location.

The location was perfect for what we wanted to do; it was very quiet and peaceful with lots of red squirrels and a variety of birds in the grounds. The lodge was warm, cosy, beautifully decorated furnished and contained everything we needed. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We would not hesitate to return or recommend to friends.
Graham B
October 2015
Wow I love this place so much. The host Justine was fantastic and could not do enough to make sure all of your needs are met. The Lodge was a real home from home, down to the biscuits on arrival. The dogs Wilf and Dougal were friendly and regular joined us in the lodge. The area is like you are in the middle of nowhere but Ryde is a couple of miles away.We came here because we wanted peace and quiet, We were not disappointed. Behind the house is a delightful little woods. If you go up the hill you will get amazing views of the Isle of Wight. The Wildlife Red Squires, Hare, Buzzards, Pheasants, and the Barn Owl of which I was fortunate to see, but did not have a camera in hand. The Springs is a little Gem and we will be back.
Mrs Croft

This relaxing and enchanting lodge had everything you could possibly want.

July 2015
My husband and I first stayed at The Springs in 2014 and booked 2015's holiday when we got back home, that's how much we loved it! It is a very comfortable and cleverly put together cabin that is perfectly equipped for two people. If you are a fan of wildlife then you really shouldn't pass up the opportunity to stay here. The red squirrels are delightful - and are right on your doorstep every day - as are the various birds that visit; pheasants, partridge, green woodpecker, lesser spotted woodpeckers, greenfinches, goldfinches, chaffinches, blue tits, great tits and the very shy jay. It is a perfect get away from the day-to-day grind and gives you time and space to truly relax and unwind. The owner is very friendly and on hand should you need anything, but is respectful of your privacy too. If you can drag yourself away from the antics of the wildlife then seaside towns and island attractions are all within quick and easy reach. Only about 15 minutes away are some clean, quiet and picturesque beaches in Bembridge and White Cliff Bay which are worth making a special trip to. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Springs and will definitely visit again.
Mrs Stirling-Kellaway
July 2015
A tranquil setting with wildlife on your doorstep and a friendly helpful owner who is there if you need her but also respects your privacy. I was very sad to go!

Mr Ward
May 2015
The owner was very pleasant and helpful. The wildlife was brilliant, with bird and red squirrel feeders placed just outside the kitchen window, which provided hours of entertainment. The garden was large and laid mostly to lawn. We made the most of the opportunity to use the swimming pool and the bed was wonderful - easily the most comfortable we've slept in.
Miss Evans

So many times you visit a place with 5 stars and a luxury tag only to be disappointed. The Springs does not fall into that category. Rated 5 stars it is 5 stars plus. Everything about the accommodation is wonderful. Then there is the bird life. Oh and the red squirrels. Every time you glance out of the windows there are red squirrels, woodpeckers, long tail tits, blue tits etc massing the feeders so thoughtfully provided by Justine, the owner. Take a good camera and binoculars. Sit back with a cuppa or a glass of wine and enjoy.
Mr Leaver
September 2014
It was very quiet there, plenty of wildlife (including red squirrels just outside the window) and the owner was a brilliant hostess!
Guest
August 2014
this lovely Scandinavian style pine cabin was very comfortable and situated in peaceful surroundings. It is situated in the garden of a country house which was visited by very interesting wild life eg red squirrels and rabbits. It is the only cabin in the garden therefore it is ideal if you want a quiet romantic holiday with privacy. It is situated near Ryde on the Isle of Wight and is ideal for exploring the island. You will need a car to enjoy this property.
Mrs Back

Without a doubt, this property was of a very high standard, situated in a idyllic location. The large well-maintained garden with its abundance of wildlife was an added bonus.

This is a holiday experience that every nature lover will enjoy. It's quiet and you will find yourself totally immersed in the lives of the beautiful pheasants and the antics of the little Red Squirrels who play and eat nut in the small fruit tree right outside your window. The actual Chalet is just beautiful, offering all the essentials - and some more. The owners are there for you if ever you need them, but leave you alone to enjoy yourself. We just loved the place, and look forward to returning, as soon as we possibly can.
Mrs Balderstone

The situation near the woods in a lovely garden. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. The amazing wildlife outside our window. The very helpful owner of the property.
Mr Owens

The quality of this chalet was truly fantastic. If anyone wants a quiet holiday that is close to nature - this is it, red squirrels in abundance, with pheasant right outside the front door! This place has everything. Furnished with all round good taste, and so clean too The owners are so very nice, and are happy to help you in any way the can. We had a daily visit from their lovely little dogs. In short, this is the perfect holiday accommodation for two people.
Mr Attwell

'WOW' just about sums up our stay at The Springs. Both myself and my partner normally enjoy holidays abroad but decided to do something a bit different and hire a cottage and our choice did not disappoint. The cottage itself is beautiful with everything you need for a short break (and I really do mean everything-from coffee right down to kitchen cleaner!!). The surroundings are stunning and if you're lucky, you will see an array of wildlife. Being in our early 20's, we wanted to explore the isle of wight and this could be done with great ease as we were so close to Ryde town and much much more. Unfortunately we didn't get to spend much time with the owner but she is such a gem and even offered to pop us into town so we could enjoy a romantic dinner without having to drive. She even posted my partners missing t shirt back to us as it had been left in the cottage by mistake! I would recommend staying at The Springs to everyone and we will 100% go back!!!

What a find this place was! So peaceful, and beautifully done inside to a very high standard.Lots of unexpected extras provided. The two little dogs visiting regularly added to our stay - so adorable!
Guest
December 2012
We had a lovely stay here for a week in the summer - not that there was a lot of summer about! We chose this cottage because of its rural location but central(ish) to the island. In fact we thought the location was absolutely perfect. Not especially easy to find, being up a long quiet lane but well worth the effort. The owner's house is next to the cottage and is entirely secluded. We particularly enjoyed the fact that the cottage was visited by red squirrrels every day and in fact we were sometimes woken up by them scampering across the roof to get at the peanut holders that were so thoughtfully provided by the owner. The cottage had everything you could need by way of kitchen equipment and bits and pieces - dishwasher tablets, cleaning materials etc. Should we visit the Isle of Wight again we would try to come here.

I cannot fault this property. The location, is excellent, so quiet that the wildlife is constantly on show. The owner has excelled herself with little extras that you don't normally see and everything was to a high standard. She also has two adorable small dogs who pay regular visits, but only if you want to see them!
Ms Proctor

My whole week was blissful, the cabin was so comfortable and quiet, it was like being in paradise. The garden was lovely and the wildlife amazing, the owner was charming and everything was left so wonderfully clean and welcoming. I had a very happy week and would recommend it to anyone. I was very reluctant to leave at the end of my week. I enjoyed it so much I have already booked again for two weeks next Spring.
Mrs Markham

This is the second time that we have stayed at The Springs and it was as good as our first stay. The cabin is fantastic and set in lovely grounds. We saw lots of red squirrels, rabbits, pheasants and peacocks. The owner was friendly and hospitable. It was also great to use the swimming pool. A stay at The Springs is highly recommended.
Mrs Curnow

The springs accommodation was so tranquil and idyllic spot well away from anyone. The wildlife in the garden included red squirrels, woodpeckers rabbits and pheasants all very entertaining. The walks on the island were fab.

Wow what a place!! quiet quiet and more quiet. If you want to get away from the rat race or noisy neighbours then this is the place. The setting is perfect and the wildlife is a mixture of rabbits, red squirrels, woodpeckers ,pheasants all of which visited the garden in which the springs is situated, awsome!! The owner justine and her faithfull little dog wilf coudnt have been more helpfull and friendly. The isle of wight is the perfect place if you enjoy walking and there were walks wright from the doorstep of the springs. Plenty of things to do including a zoo seaside towns a railway and even if you want a little retail therapy head into newport. All in all a great holiday!! 10 out of 10

The cabin is situated right next to a wood so wild life visits The Springs' garden - red squirrels in abundance, pheasants, rabbits and woodpeckers. It is well situated to visit the island's attractions.
Mr Brewster

The cottage is in a very peaceful location and is well-appointed.
Bridget Smith
March 2011
Despite a few problems, which we sorted out with the owner, this was a delightful, well situated property, close to Ryde (a much improved town) with its excellent cafes and restaurants. One of the highlights was watching the red squirrels cavorting about in the peaceful garden. We much enjoyed our stay, even though the weather was very wet.
Mrs Smith
January 2011
The property was in a very tranquil place, but still close to Ryde, which has improved immensely in recent years. We were treated to the antics of red squirrels and garden birds on the feeders. A very romantic hideaway. The island has so much to offer, even on a poor winter's day.
Guest
January 2011
The springs is a great place, gorgeous gardens and lovely interior too. We had a great time and enjoyed visits from the owners dog (he's harmless to those scared of dogs!) We went in November which meant that it was a lot cheaper but it also meant that a lot of place we wanted to go to had shut down for the winter (a lot shut on 31st Oct) I would recommend this place to people looking for a relaxing week to get away from it all!
Guest

The owner was near should we need anything.The cabin had everything you would need and very cosy.It was set in a field adjacent to the owners house shops and garage not far away.Liked seeing all the wild life squirrels, rabbits pheasant and birds in abundance.We have booked again for June 2011.
Mr Mrs Gratwick

This is our second vist to The Springs and we absolutely love it, as it provides a true feeling of relaxation and is set in beautiful surroundings with wildlife just outside the window. It is a true break from our busy and hectic lifestyles. The lodge is filled with everything you could possibly need and more.
Miss Bond
September 2010
The cottage was very cosy and extremely well equipped. It is in a very quiet area with lots of wildlife. During our stay we spotted lots of rabbits, red squirrels, pheasants and peacocks. The highlight of our holiday, however, had to be Wilf (the wonder dog as we called him!). The friendliest and most playful dog anyone could wish to meet!
Guest
September 2010
Our stay at The Springs was absolutely fantastic. The chalet is well-appointed, spotlessly clean, in a quiet and natural setting yet within easy reach of Ryde and the ferries. We sat out each day on the verandah watching red squirrels, rabbits, woodpeckers and kestrels in the garden - 5 red squirrels at once was our record! The owners were very helpful but not at all intrusive. A perfect getaway for two - we'll be back.
Mrs Russel-Graham

Friendly owners. Perfect romantic hideaway.
Mr Mrs Ousby

The welcome and helpfulness of the owner and the loveliness and privacy of the chalet. We particularly loved the wildlife around the garden, especially the red squirrels - 5 at one go was our record.

Rose Cottage is a lovely cosy cottage set in rural surroundings. It's very spacious and airy and a great place to unwind. We particularly liked the natural light that the cottage benefitted from due to it's thoughtful design. We were lucky enough to see lots of wildlife during our stay at Rose Cottage. The owner took great care in ensuring that we had everything we needed, whilst being careful not to intrude on our short break. Due to the time of year we went, we think that Rose Cottage would benefit from some double glazing. Although the cottage was well insulated we found that a lot of the heat just disappeared out through the windows, thus making it slightly challenging to retain a comfortable ambience on very cold days of winter.
Miss Harrington
December 2009
The owner was very welcoming and ensured that we had everything we needed. We particularly liked the peaceful location of Rose Cottage and the fact that the nearby gardens were filled with wildlife.

The location, facilities and hospitality at this property is first class. We stayed here in June and our stay in November was just as enjoyable despite the inclement weather and a cancelled sailing on the way home due to rough seas. Make sure you visit the Havenstreet Steam Railway! Thoroughly recommend this destination.
The Parkers
December 2009
We were welcomedwith a smile and a whole lot of goodies to start off our stay. We were far from the madding crowds but being in the centre of the island we were not too far from anywhere. ON the sunny days the heated pool was most welcome but there was also plenty to do on rainy days. When we go back to the Isle of Wight we would definitely try to go back to the same place
Guest
December 2009
Our hosts were lovely, friendly and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable, but did not intrude. The cottage was charming and luxurious. Well fitted out with everything you could possibly need. Everything was to a high standard, stylish and very comfortable. The location was perfect for us. Very pretty surrounding, lovely views, lots of wildlife for interest and so peaceful and quiet. We could relax without being overlooked or bothered by neighbours. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely want to return. Can't think of anything we didn't like. Would highly recommend this place to any couple looking for a quiet getaway with a touch of luxury.

This holiday was a real retreat. The cottage contained everything we could possibly ask for and more. From day one we were totally relaxed. The cottage looked out on to really beautiful surroundings with plenty of red squirrels to delight us.

Perfect tranquil getaway for two. A good central location for visiting the whole island. The cottage certainly had a touch of luxury.
