Middle Lodge

This impressive 19th century lodge is made up of three floors and positioned within a private garden. The outside space stretches beyond the garden, with Appley Park on the doorstep adding an extra 27 acres of beautiful parkland for guests to explore, it backs on to Appley beach, which has views across the water towards the mainland. The stone mullions and architectural details honour the history of the building, whilst the interior is tastefully decorated, including all the creature comforts needed in modern life. The fully equipped kitchen on the ground floor has a breakfast bar for those on the go but for more formal meals, a large dining area is just off the kitchen. The large, comfy sofas in the lounge are perfect for relaxing on after a day of holiday activities, perhaps watching the wall mounted TV or enjoying a post dinner coffee. The snug on the lower ground floor provides the younger guests with a designated space to play, simply watch TV or challenge each other on the games console!Three light and airy bedrooms are located on the first floor, two of which have decorative fireplaces, and all have access to the main bathroom on this floor, which has a large corner bath and overhead shower. The fourth bedroom is located on the lower ground floor, next to the snug and has use of a shower room. Outside the mature garden includes a charming terrace with table and chairs. There are some superb restaurants on the island, but on those balmy sunny evenings, this private garden offers the perfect place for al fresco dining. Alternatively, you could embrace the British custom of local fish n chips on the seafront, only moments away!THE ISLAND HOLIDAY COMPANY ARE ABLE TO OFFER DISCOUNTED FERRY TRAVEL TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT WHEN YOU BOOK YOUR HOLIDAY THROUGH US.LOCATION:Middle Lodge offers a retreat from day-to-day life, but within easy reach of amenities, should you wish to use them.
