Peaceful break

My wife and I had a lovely 4 night stay at Somerton Lodge. We were greeted by the owners, Anne and John who were great and very attentive. Anne gave us lots of local information upon arrival. The breakfasts were exceptional. The lodge was very peaceful and comfortable. We highly recommend Somerton Lodge for a relaxing stay. We shall return. Thank you Anne and John.

A Beautiful home is a great location

A beautiful House with a lovely host. I recieved a warm welcome and as I was staying 2 weeks I was given a double room instead of the single. The room was comfy and although the bathroom was a bit small it served a purpose. I would be more than happy to recommend it and it would be a priviledge to stay there again

A great place to stay on the Isle of Wight

We had a lovely warm welcome by the owner and shown to our room. The room was well laid out and had plenty of storage space and a well stocked tea and coffee tray. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. Only really mild negative was that the walls were a bit thin and you could hear conversations, televisions etc! The breakfast was wonderful and kept us ticking over until the evening time. The owners couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. Absolutely brilliant place to stay and visit the local area. Being directly opposite a main bus stop really did help.

There is no elevator and no resaurant. the host offered to get something in for me to eat but it was not far to a nice restaurant she suggested. Breakfast was a full English - more than I could eat so had 1/2 the nexxt day. No bar but pub close by. Bux to everywhere on the island just outside the door. Lovely and relaxing stay - I would stay there again and again if I could.
