The Springs, Ashey Road, Ryde, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 4AU

This lovely lodge set in the owner's extensive garden was a real find. The wildlife visited daily (red squirrels, spotted woodpecker, blue tits, chaffinches, pheasants, rabbits to name but a few). The amenities were 5*, and extremely comfortable. We would highly recommend this self catering home. It's set in the countryside, but only a couple of miles away from Ryde, with great access to the whole of the IOW. We will definitely be back as it was so relaxin. We had a wonderful Easter Break. Thank you Justine (the owner) for making our stay so special.

This is a beautiful little lodge in secluded gardens surrounded by all kinds of birds including woodpeckers and barn owls as well as lovely red squirrels in the tree which can be seen from the kitchen window. Thoughtful owner has made sure there are all creature comforts including a very large, supremely comfortable bed. There is minimal light pollution in this area even though it's very close to the ferry terminal and Ryde. The Fishbourne pub nearby is very cosy and Christmassy.

The Spings Isle of Wight

This cottage is perfect if you love peace and quiet. The best thing is the nature as others have said. Just sit quietly under the kitchen window and you will be treated to visits from red squirrels and many kinds of birds. The property has everything you need Inc.towels and books, dvds, maps, local guides. It's tastefully decorated with a large comfy bed. It's set in very nice grounds with the use of a swimming pool. We really didn't want to leave. 

We stayed at this lovely place for one week, the weather - a bonus, but what a beautiful setting and lovely 'Cabin' to enjoy our week, the cabin is appointed to an extremely good standard and has everything you could possibly need for a restful, peaceful week.

The surprise was the abundant wildlife surrounding us, many RED Squirrels, Stoats, Rabbits, wild fowl, Blue Tits, Great Tits, Goldfinches, Woodpeckers, BARN OWLS - I'M SURE I've missed some out, but you get the picture I'm sure!

Beautifully sloping lawn from the entrance down to the cabin, trees nearby cabin which are frequented by Red Squirrels all day, many birds too.

This place is a lovely sheltered and property, privacy assured as owner away most of the day, the owner is a lovely lady who is so helpful and welcoming.

We had no reason to go out much, the swimming pool a very welcome bonus.

All in all, a fabulously peaceful place, restful sleep is assured, we'll be back ther in 2019 and looking forward to it immensly.

Luvley cottage/lodge. Very well furnished. All amenities catered for. In a very nice part of the Isle of Wight. The red squirrels and birds in grounds a real treat. And also the amazing giant sized bed.

Wow I love this place so much. The host Justine was fantastic and could not do enough to make sure all of your needs are met. The Lodge was a real home from home, down to the biscuits on arrival. The dogs Wilf and Dougal were friendly and regular joined us in the lodge. The area is like you are in the middle of nowhere but Ryde is a couple of miles away.We came here because we wanted peace and quiet, We were not disappointed. Behind the house is a delightful little woods. If you go up the hill you will get amazing views of the Isle of Wight. The Wildlife Red

My husband and I first stayed at The Springs in 2014 and booked 2015's holiday when we got back home, that's how much we loved it! It is a very comfortable and cleverly put together cabin that is perfectly equipped for two people. If you are a fan of wildlife then you really shouldn't pass up the opportunity to stay here. The red squirrels are delightful - and are right on your doorstep every day - as are the various birds that visit; pheasants, partridge, green woodpecker, lesser spotted woodpeckers, greenfinches, goldfinches, chaffinches, blue tits, gre

So many times you visit a place with 5 stars and a luxury tag only to be disappointed. The Springs does not fall into that category. Rated 5 stars it is 5 stars plus. Everything about the accommodation is wonderful. Then there is the bird life. Oh and the red squirrels. Every time you glance out of the windows there are red squirrels, woodpeckers, long tail tits, blue tits etc massing the feeders so thoughtfully provided by Justine, the owner. Take a good camera and binoculars. Sit back with a cuppa or a glass of wine and enjoy.
