What our customers say about their holidays

  We stayed here for a week in June.

  Check-in was contactless with a key safe (we were given the combination a few days before). Access to the park is through the car park for the Mermaid Gin Distillery (The Wishing Well pub). Some lodges have parking adjacent, however not all (including Cava) however this was not an issue as you could park outside to unload and then leave your car in The Vineyard car park by the entrance (no distance at all and in sight from the lodge). The lodge was extremely clean throughout and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed for a self-catering holiday including dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and full size oven. Unfortunately it only has a small fridge with an icebox freezer (ideally this could have been bigger). A nice touch was the complimentary starter pack of dishwasher tablets, washing tablets, washing up liquid and the welcome pack of milk, small pats of butter, shortbread biscuits, jams and tea and coffee sachets. There is an information folder in the lodge which contains a contact number should you have any issues (we had a minor issue with the hot tub one evening and it was fixed the next day and our text message was responded to within a few minutes). Some people have mentioned about the bright green emergency lights in the bedrooms, which is true, however we found these to helpful to find the way to the bathroom in the middle of night without stubbing toes !!. Also we found that when we closed our eyes to go to sleep, we couldn't see these lights !! There are no facilities at the park which suited us perfectly as we like the peace and quiet. However there is a Tesco Extra a five minute drive away and more importantly the gin distillery a minutes walk up the pathway(!!) which is well worth a visit, not just for the gin, but for their well stocked bar with local beers (Goddards), their good food menu and lovely outside terrace area at the rear overlooking the vineyard and fields. We would not hesitate to return to the vineyard lodges - in fact we want to return sometime in the future. A fantastic holiday.

  As per other comments, why is the green light in the bedrooms so bright?

  . The shower in the double bedroom still leaks. Why is the central heating thermostat in the bedroom? Light switches are in some odd places , the bathroom light switch is behind the wardrobe. No coat hooks where do you hang wet coats when you come in. The curtains across the main living area offer no privacy. Well situated on the island. Sleeps four adults but only a two seater sofa. Beds very comfortable. Well equipped with all appliances.

  Loved our stay in the lodge, lovely setting in The Vineyards.

  The bathroom light switch in the double bedroom was covered by the wardrobe? Couldnt get to one of the sockets in the twin due to bed covering it? Not a big problem, worked around it. No clear info on where the outside bins were? Information pack only included instructions for cooker and washing machine. Could have had local/IOW info eg places to eat and visit. Overall, the lodge was great and suited our needs for a four night stay.

  Had a fabulous week at Cava & will definitely return.

  Ideal location & well positioned on quiet, well kept site. For us it was perfect - no dogs or children. Ecolodge very comfortable & well appointed, with large decked area. Hot tub location at the back of the property gave much appreciated privacy. A couple of suggested tweaks to consider - somewhere to hang coats + reduce strength of closures on internal doors.

  We stayed on this site last year, but in a different, identical property, because we love the location, and appreciate the standard of cleanliness, having two shower rooms, and being close to the Wishing Well pub, the home of the Mermaid gin distillery.

  The accommodation is pleasant, if somewhat small, with a well equipped kitchen. Our only niggle, given that due to the inclement weather we did spend more time indoors this year, is that the lounge area is too small for 4 adults to relax in. Re-configuration of furniture, with a smaller dining area, would make a huge difference to the comfort rating.
