  The parkdean resort was amazing.

  The location, facilities and entertainment were great for a family holiday. We ate on site a couple of time and used the passes to access the pool and clubhouse I. The evening and both adults and children enjoyed it thoroughly. However, the caravan was not uo to the same standard as we expected from such a great site. The interior was dated, there were lots of unnecessary items in the caravan that couldn't be used such as lamps situated where there were no plug sockets. There was a lack of plug in general which meant that you couldn't watch TV at the same time as having a lamp on. The kitchen was very basic. The grill wouldn't stay on and to use it, you would have to keep the gas knob pressed in. There was only one shelf in the oven, which meant that cooking for 5 people was tricky. From staying in other caravans there seemed a lack of storage space in bedrooms. We also couldn't seem to find any instructions on how the heating worked. When we arrived the shower was on and the bathroom floor was flooded, I believe there had been a problem with the water on site before we arrived so assumed that when the cleaners were in they forgot to turn off the shower. The light switch in the bathroom was also too short. This meant that 2 of the 3 children couldn't use the bathroom at night as they couldn't reach the pull cord. It was also very hard to shut the double bedroom door, which meant waking the children up eheb the adults went to bed. I think it would also be worth mentioning that, as you are surrounded by established trees that it is quite a common noise to hear acorns falling onto the roof. This wasn't a problem but 2 of the children were a bit scared of the noise on the first night.

  Vendee Lodge is a really lovely comfortable modern holiday lodge.

  It is Tastefully put together & is well equipped with most things you might want in the kitchen. The seating was cosy & comfortable. TV easy to use. The bed room was lovely & fairly spacious, bigger than I had expected. Jayne the owner checked in with us on our arrival evening to see if everything was ok for us & arranged for clean linen & towels for our second week. Which we appreciated. Not something that we have had at any other accommodation when we have stayed for two weeks. Thank you Jayne. The view from the patio window & the seating area was a real treat. Stunning views across the countryside. We loved our stay on the Isle of Wight & in the beautiful Vendee Lodge. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here. It was our first stay in a lodge & we enjoyed it very much. I would certainly go again.

  Property is in a great quiet location, and is very clean and tidy.

  The downstairs area and new kitchen (and new appliances) are great. Lovely outside space - perfect for the dog. Only downsides were as follows. (1) Listing states private driveway. This is not the case, there is a small space to the side of the property, but this was difficult to access in a larger car owing to the number of other cars parked alongside here. This should not be listed as a private driveway. (2) A few essentials missing which you would expect to be present in a self catering property - Baking Trays for Oven, Dustpan and Brush, Hairdryer, Ironing Board, More hangers in wardrobes. (3) Upstairs was a bit of a let down compared to downstairs. Some modernisation is needed to bring the property to the same standard upstairs and downstairs.

  My partner and I loved and would recommend this wonderful, bright contemporary property, which was good value with great views of Cowes marina.

  It felt very safe and secure, with every small detail thought of. It really helped to make a family funeral feel a bit easier and was handy to have a room and bathroom each. Only issue that I know you're already aware of, is that the ensuite toilet flush is very stiff and impossible to press completely. I needed toilet after travelling, (before having a chance to read the property book) - advising that "pushing both the short/long flush buttons simultaneously, worked." To avoid risk of blockage and inconvenience to you having to be called out to fix, maybe a small printed card on wall above toilet advising this would be helpful ? Aside from that we loved and would definitely return. Thank you. Linda

  I am partly dissabled so my comments are based on this.

  1. I had to park next to the property because of my health problems but found it difficult to do so. 2. The property has a massive, huge, Acorn tree over it, and the acorns were dropping onto the roof every night which kept me awake. 3. The seating was tidy and clean, but not very comfortable at all, there was not one comfortable chair in there. 4. The heating was not very high , as most of the week it was very cold and could'nt work out how to adjust it. 5. I feel that Sykes have not explained the surrounding area enough, Because it was so hilly, I had a job to get about, so did'nt walk anywhere. I don't think its catered for the elderly enough. I left a day early as did'nt want another cold night. Thank you
