About this property

Charming Garden Lodge by the Sea – Peaceful Coastal Retreat

Welcome to your Isle of Wight escape. This charming 2-bed, 2-ensuite lodge is set in a lush Victorian garden, surrounded by woodland and moments from the sea. It’s remote and peaceful — no phone signal, just birdsong, sea breeze and WiFi when you want it. Both bedrooms have their own private ensuite — one with a shower, the other with a full bath.

Ventnor is a 10-minute drive for shops, pubs, and coastal strolls — but a car is recommended due to the remote setting. You might spot red squirrels, foxes, or hear the rustle of wildlife in the trees — it’s a true escape to nature.

There is a gate with a lockbox for access to the garden area and to the Garden Lodge inside.

This peaceful two-bedroom lodge is part of the Haddon Lake House estate — a unique setting surrounded by nature, once home to an ornamental lake and still full of beauty and charm.

Set within a vibrant Victorian garden and small woodland, the lodge offers a true escape. With birdsong in the background and the sea just a short walk away, it’s the perfect base for recharging, reading, wandering, and enjoying slow, quiet mornings.

Inside, the lodge has a traditional feel — simple, cosy, and filled with natural light. There are two double bedrooms, each with its own private ensuite (one with a bath, one with a shower), a well-equipped kitchen-diner, and a lounge with WiFi and a smart TV for film nights.

There’s no mobile signal here — and that’s half the appeal. You can truly switch off and enjoy the surroundings, or stay connected via WiFi if needed.

Whether you’re looking for a creative retreat, a romantic hideaway, or just a break from the world, this is the kind of place where time slows down and peace takes over.

You can get the car ferry from Portsmouth to Fishbourne. This is a remote area on the South side of the island, so your own transport is necessary. Alternatively you could try cycling, but be mindful that the island is very hilly!

The property is part of Haddon Lake House, named after the ornamental lake that once sat in the gardens. Following a recent landslide, the lake is no longer present — but restoration is underway and the grounds remain as peaceful and beautiful as ever.

There is no mobile phone signal at the lodge — the perfect excuse to unplug. We do have WiFi, so you can stay connected if needed.

The lodge is tucked away in a peaceful, rural spot, surrounded by woodland and gardens. It's all about stillness, fresh air, and slow mornings.

Ventnor is a 10-minute drive for shops, pubs, and coastal strolls — but a car is recommended due to the remote setting.

Free parking is available right outside the lodge.
