  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.

  We loved the chalet!

  Very nostalgic of the chalets back in the 90’s! It did smell a bit of a damp like it used to 30 years ago! Bearing in mind the price per night, the property needs both a dehumidifier and a fan as the property isn’t easy to ventilate and was uncomfortably hot on arrival. Due to the proximity of the property to the shrubbery to the rear, when we opened the windows, we were visited by the local wildlife. The views of the green are sadly hampered by the condensation which has developed now that the double glazing is no longer doing its job. Lovely touches with the basket in the kitchen, milk and water in the fridge, and loo rolls and miniature toiletries in the bathroom. The beds are suitable for young children but are too springy for adults and could really do with replacing. We would consider coming back as Westfield is a special place but it would be even better if minor adjustments e.g. a fan, could be provided.

  We so enjoyed staying at 'Seas the Day'.

  It was a lovely location and great property thoughtfully set up for families. All was as described and we really appreciated the extra touches such as complimentary milk and biscuits etc, and the games and DVD for kids to enjoy. So good that there was a big green space out the back so that children can safely play and we liked that we could easily walk down and enjoy Ventnor. Ideal size property for the 4 of us (we have two young children). Would certainly recommend. Many thanks to the owners and Sykes Cottages :)

  Extremely disappointed with "Seas the Day" A dirty and rundown property.

  Cobwebs/spiders webs in every room. Infested with woodlice due to damp in the property. Dirt, scum and mould on window frames, shower cubicle and skirting boards. Seals all blown on UPVC windows to front. Locks/latches broken on bedroom windows. Internal walls and woodwork require re-decorating. Kitchen cupboard door broken. Disappointing that Sykes have obviously not inspected this property, and this property should be removed from Sykes Cottages until it is brought up to an acceptable standard.

  Lovely chalet, very clean, brilliant location.

  Heating inadequate for a winter stay. No handbooks to help operate the bedroom radiators, the oven, the hobs or microwave. Asked maintenance assistance they found switches to radiators after some time but they could not fix the intermittent TV signal as the coaxial socket in the wall has been damaged. The tap in the kitchen supplies only a trickle of hot water compared to the bathroom.My opinion of my stay has been reduced by these unnecessary problems.
