Just purchased a 2028 bookings diary. Had a couple of enquiries a short time ago but now got a 2w confirmed booking for July 2028! That's what you call forward planning .....

Our guest this week was delighted to have captured on camera two young red squirrels from Woodside Lodge window 'sharing' the bird peanuts (despite having their own feeder nearby!).

For those of you asking how our decking / boardwalk project has been going, we can now update you and share our new look .....

We're thrilled with the upgrades, thanks to contractors (Timberfix IoW), plus a lot of hard graft from ourselves for the finishing touches. There is still a bit of planting etc to do but we're almost there.

We're glad to be fully open again for guests ..... we will see some of you later in the year but still have some availability if you haven't already booked but would like to visit and see the results for yourselves.
