September 2024

“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 ...

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.

Deborah July 2024

“We booked in July 2023 for July 2024.”

My husband had 3 strokes, February,March and June 2024. I debated cancelling. I so glad I didn’t. It was amazing. The property had everything we needed. Sitting on the decking with my husband in the sunshine was the best medicine ever. As you can imagine we spent every day at the property and wanted for nothing. Our little dog Mylo loved going on the decking and have a nosey at the neighbours and sun bathing. The property is beautiful, well equipped. Very very clean. If I get the chance I would love to return one day. Thank you Jayne we had an amazing 2 week stay. Made some new memories with my hubby.

- Deborah, July 2024

Hi Deborah, thank you so much for the lovely feedback and so very sorry to hear about the health of your husband. I am so glad you came and that the weather was good so you could sit out on the decking and enjoy the sunshine. My favourite place to sit and read a good book. Hope to see you back at some time. Property Owner
Sarah July 2024

“We had the most fabulous week in vendee lodge.”

The lodge itself is beautiful, comfortable and has everything you need for a relaxed stay. The view from the lodge is gorgeous. The located at the edge of the holiday park but with easy access to the shop, entertainment centre and beach. This was our first trip to the isle of wight and we'll definitely be back as there's so much to do.

- Sarah, July 2024

Hi Sarah, I very much appreciate the positive feedback and thank you for taking the time out to provide it. Hope to see you back on the IOW. Thank you Property Owner
Michaele July 2024

“Just back from a very relaxing stay at Vendee Lodge.”

Spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The views were stunning even in the rain! Location is very good and there were many facilities on site within easy reach, the lodge is not surrounded by them and is therefore more quiet and peaceful. We would recommend a stay here. We hope Jayne gets the chance to return for a holiday too.

- Michaele, July 2024

That is such lovely feedback so thank you. Property Owner
Dave June 2024

“Wotcha. My wife,teenage son,and I had a very relaxing/comfortable stay at vendee Lodge in Thorness Bay.”

I can assure you that the accommodation is very clean,very well equipped with delicious views and homely touches/decor. Also surprisingly peaceful for a holiday park! The host is very responsive and polite. Everywhere on the isle is accessible from vendee lodge by car within say half an hour. Really didn't want to leave. Would we stay here again or recommend Vendee? You betcha we would. Its a 10 from us.

- Dave, June 2024

This is such a lovely review Dave. Thank yuo very much and hope to see you again one day. jayne. Property Owner

“We had a lovely 5 night stay at Vendee lodge.”

Clean, comfortable and well appointed. The view was beautiful. Would recommend.

Gary September 2023

“Could have done with a king size quilt on a king size bed not a double quilt cold bum when turning over.”

- Gary, September 2023

Sorry to hear this. There is a spare duvet in the overhead bedroom cupboard and other throws. The heating if needed is very efficient. Thank you for the feedback. Property Owner
Jill September 2023

“A lovely lodge, very comfortable and clean.”

The owner contacted us by text when we arrived which made us feel as if we were at home. Our dog was very comfortable on the throw that was left for her to use. The two bathrooms proved to be a real bonus as we had two days when we were far from well. I had to stop my husband reverting to his usual role of Mr Fixit, as there were a couple of little things that needed attention- both toilet seats were loose and one of the bathroom doors didn't catch. We struggled with Newport on our first day but then discovered the scenic route to the rest of the island via Cowes and the floating bridge to East Cowes.

- Jill, September 2023

Thank you for the feedback. The toilet seats were fixed but they do work lose after a period of time. It is extremely difficult to get to the fittings and the maintenance man had a bit of trouble with it. Thank you for advising about the bathrroom door. Property Owner
Lin September 2023

“Everything was just perfect.”

Lovely views from the balcony. Very comfortable beds and pillows very important with bad backs and comfortable furniture.

- Lin, September 2023

So glad you had an enjoyable stay. I totally agree about the bad back part - i am a sufferer too. Hope to see you back one day and thank you for the feedback. Property Owner
Eloise August 2023

“Vendee lodge was lovely and it had a beautiful view from the decking.”

Jayne was really friendly and informative and we had a great holiday. Thankyou!

- Eloise, August 2023

Hello Eloise, thank you for providing such positive feedback. I hope to see you back again some day. Thank you. Property Owner
Sarah August 2023

“A beautiful lodge, very comfortable, well equipped, spotlessly clean and welcoming.”

Jayne was the perfect host - she seemed invested in making sure we had everything we needed and shared useful knowledge and recommendations for the area. Excellent base for travelling around, but breathtaking views from the lodge itself and just short walk to Thorness Bay - so peaceful and calm. Would definitely recommend and hope to revisit in the future. Thank you so very much for making our holiday so very special.

- Sarah, August 2023

Hello Sarah, Thank you so much and i am so glad you enjoyed your stay at the Vendee Lodge. Lovely feedback, thank you. Property Owner
Paul August 2023

“This is a very nice lodge and the view is exactly as you see in the picture.”

It is stunning, and the sun rises directly in the East, in front of the main windows - wow! The lodge is very comfortable and very homely. We didn't have any issues. The owner is very helpful in all their communications. The lodge is on a quieter part of the holiday park with about 12 other lodges, and this seclusion was appreciated. Speaking about the holiday park itself, it had fewer facilities than others we have visited, but Vendee Lodge is so nice, and the area so pleasant, you are sure to find a lot of other things to do off site!

- Paul, August 2023

Hello Paul, thank you so much for this wonderful review. It is lovely to receive such positive feedback. Property Owner
Carol June 2023

“Beautiful lodge in a very quiet place with a gorgeous view.”

Location was by the coast and in easy reach of local attractions. Everything you would need was supplied along with extra added touches. Very spacious and very clean. Contact with the owner was easy and very friendly.

- Carol, June 2023

Thank you for this lovely feedback and hope to see you again at the Vendee Lodge. Property Owner
Peter June 2023

“A superb holiday lodge with lovely country views to the rear.”

Everything was spot on.

Always nice to get great feedbck so thank you. Property Owner
Michael May 2023

“Lovely place.”

Clean comfortable and loved the items left for us to use. Dog loved the area and plenty of walks. No hairs left for you as our dog does not malt. One thing nowhere to plug in razors or toothbrushes. Regarding the site, it was a shame that there was no covered space for the entertainment or restraunt with a dog. Consequently we did not use it. Could have sat outside if there had been more tables and chairs. Beautiful well done the owners.

- Michael, May 2023

Thank you so much for the positive feedback as it is much appreciated. A good point about the toothbrushes and razors! It is a brand new holiday home so not sure why they did not factor this in. p.s. The Vendi Lodge is let out privately as i did not want to form part of the overall park package but I will advise the park manager about the seating outside at the entertainment centre as I have a dog and so do many others so unless you can sit outside it then becomes a bit limiting. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Catherine May 2023

“We had a lovely stay at Vendee Lodge on the Isle of Wight.”

The property was amazing, everything as advertised and more, we really didn’t want to come home. Would definitely recommend this lodge .

- Catherine, May 2023

Catherine, thank you for your lovely feedback. It is very much appreciated. Jayne. Property Owner
Nicola April 2023

“An absolutely beautiful lodge, with high quality furnishings, bedding and towels.”

Was cleaned to a very high standard and the owner was extremely helpful and responsive to any queries we had. The location was perfect for us, on a quiet road away from the busy area, but less than 5 mins walk to the pool/restaurant/bar and footpath to the little beach, coastal path etc. About 10 mins drive to East Cowes. Stunning views of the countryside from the terrace. A lovely place to stay.

- Nicola, April 2023

Thank you Nicola for the wonderful feedback. You are only the second person to stay, so the very first review, so I thank you for taking the time out to do this. Much appreciated, Jayne. Property Owner
Katy March 2023

“We had a really lovely stay at Vendee Lodge.”

It is beautifully furnished with lovely touches and very comfortable and cosy. The outlook over the fields is very calming and it is so peaceful. This is a perfect place to stay and we will definitely be back.

- Katy, March 2023

Thank you Katy for the lovely feedback and hope to see youu back at the IOW very soon. Regards Jayne Property Owner

The property

Cowes 4 miles; Newport 5.5 miles.

Set next to a coastal path in the Thorness Bay Holiday Park on the Isle of Wight is this beautifully presented, privately owned holiday home, Vendee Lodge.

Stunning views from the living area and located on the outskirts of the park that offers more privacy but near enough to walk to the main facilities.

Perfect for friends or a family, the lodge is home to plenty of home comforts such as a dishwasher, washer/dryer and Bluetooth ceiling speakers so you can listen to your own music via your mobile phone.

Other conveniences include off-road parking and on-site facilities.

On arrival, step into the open-plan living space to find all you need for a self-catered stay; cook up a storm in the kitchen, dine with your loved ones and plan your next day of adventure at the table for four, then relax on the sofa to unwind for the evening.

When sleep calls, a double with a king-sized bed with en-suite shower room and a twin serviced by another shower room, provide you with space to rest and freshen up ahead of another adventurous day out.

Outside, some of the best countryside views on the park can be enjoyed from the decking - the perfect spot for your morning coffee.

For dog walkers, you don’t even have to get into the car for the morning walk as the coastal path runs through the holiday park and from the Vendee Lodge you can just head off straight in front of the lodge across the grass to the bay without even having to go through the holiday park.

Park facilities include an indoor pool, a multi-sports court, or get the kids involved in the adventure playground and kids club!

If you don't feel like cooking one evening, take the company to The Boathouse Bar and Restaurant, which has a balcony and outdoor seating with stunning views of the Solent.

In season, there is a fish and chip shop plus a well-stocked convenience store on site.

The Boathouse Bar has wonderful sea views, and a short walk to the sandy/pebble beach mean you will have plenty to keep you occupied when wandering the park, or you can jump in your car and travel to Cowes, which has everything you could want and more including a variety of places to shop, eat, and drink, as well as fascinating museums and a lovely sandy beach.

Visit the Amazon World Zoo to observe 200 animals, Carisbrooke Castle to learn about its history, or Osborne House to tour the former Royal residence.

The rest of the Isle of Wight is easily accessible, from the charming villages such as Godshill with its famous Model village to the rural Isle of Wight, AONB and the Hamstead Heritage Coast.

For Golfers, there are seven golf courses, some of which are set in stunning scenery and for walkers there are forests (largest is Brighstone, Parkhurst Forest just a 5 minute drive), Ventnor and Compton Downs plus beautiful sandy beaches such as: Sandown, Yaverland, Shanklin, Compton beach (great for surfing), with Freshwater Bay, Totland Bay, Colwell Bay and Steephill Cove offering great days out.

Or enjoy the dramatic views from Culver Cliff.

Whatever the weather, the Vendee Lodge is the perfect base.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
