About Muscat

Muscat eco lodge sits in Seaview on the Isle of Wight, overlooking the Mermaid Gin Distillery vineyard. This single-storey retreat gives you stunning views and coastal proximity without the hassle of stairs. Perfect for that weekend when you've had one too many Muscat-inspired cocktails the night before!

The Isle of Wight delivers golden sandy beaches just minutes away. Seaview lives up to its name with upmarket vibes, sailing opportunities and boutique shops. You're only 0.1 miles from the nearest pub - that's stumbling distance even after a few local gins. The bus stop nearby means you can explore without driving, though having a car opens up the whole island.

Inside you'll find two bedrooms - one king-size and one twin, both with en-suite bathrooms (yes, tiny sinks according to reviews, but who needs big sinks on holiday?). The open-plan living space includes a well-equipped kitchen with everything except serving spoons apparently, dining for four, comfy seating and wall-mounted TV. Dishwasher and washing machine included for those who can't fully disconnect from domestic life.

Nearby attractions include Ryde Beach (3 miles, 10 minutes), Isle of Wight Bus and Coach Museum (3.2 miles, 12 minutes), Peter Pan Funfair (3.1 miles, 11 minutes) and Sandown (6 miles, 20 minutes). Each offers different ways to enjoy the island's coastal charm.

Muscat shines for small groups wanting quality time together. The private hot tub on the rear patio is perfect for evening relaxation with a glass of something local. Just watch out for that patio door stop - it's apparently a tripper!

Muscat Reviews

Christina
We had a fantastic stay here at Muscat. The property was beautiful and felt safe and comfortable. The area was also in a good location and was close to other tourist areas if you have a car and we saw a bus stop very close by too. Jon and Mel answered any questions we had and kindly provided us with basic necessities such as tea, milk, coffee, sugar and biscuits etc.. thank you. There were certain small things which could have been improved but certainly did not impact our stay. We felt there was definitely a need for a serving spoon or ladle in the kitchen cupboards. There seemed to be everything else other then this. There were also no cleaning facilities despite asking us to leave the lodge clean and tidy upon our departure we had to go out and buy surface wipestoilet rolls etc as there were no spares. Also could have done with some washing up liquid we were left with an empty bottle which had enough for a plate or two. We did find a few dead insects upon arrival also but again, this was an easy fix and easily missed. Overall though, there is everything you could want. An easy to use hot tub, tourist magazinesleaflets, TVs, two bathrooms, lots of kitchen equipment and guides on how to use oven etc.. and most of all, a beautiful lodge. Thank you both for a wonderful stay. We will definitely recommendwould return in the future.
Russell
Yes, the sinks were small, but more than adequate. Apart from that, an excellent place to stay Only minor comment I would add was that the patio door stop needs highlighting as it was easy to trip over on it when you first arrive.......as my other half did, fortunately without hurting herself.
Lovely property in a quiet location. Property was as described. Sinks are very small in bathrooms as noted in previous reviews. Welcome pack provided of Milk, tea and biscuits which was a nice gesture. Minature soap, shampoo and shower gel also provided but in only one of the bathrooms which was a little strange given that these are luxury adult only lodges and in the main two couples. Hot tub was a nice size only downside was patio not large enough so you had to go on grass to get round to steps from one of the bedrooms. Hedges between lodges at the rear are still relatively new so not a lot of privacy when in the hot tub. The Wishing Well pub IOW Destillery is at the entrance to the complex so handy for a drink meal
Really nice lodge, large space, good facilities! Nice and easy.
Luxury? No. The ridiculously tiny sinks in the bathrooms are enough to disallow such a high rating. A sapling growing out of the rear downpipe makes a query of maintenance. However, internally very well equipped and comfortable. Hot tub lovely.
The kitchenlounge area of the lodge was clean and generally well fitted out. The addition of a teapot would be good and also a 2nd oven glove lifting a hot dish out of the oven with 1 hand is not really safe. However, it is in the bathrooms that my criticism begins. The sink is way too small and it is difficult to get your head over the sink when cleaning your teethshaving. When sitting on the loo you can easily see very dirty marks on the front of the shower tray not acceptable. Sealant in the shower had dirtmould on it but even worse was the appalling smells that both shower rooms gave from the drains once you have taken a shower. Not nice when you sleep in the adjoining bedrooms and a possible health risk. Only 1 toilet roll was provided for each bathroom for a weeks stay. Also a hairdryer being provided would have been better than having to carry my own. Luxury lodge no . Eco lodge not sure how that can be with a hot tub outside, although not used by us. Such a shame as there is so much to enjoy about this accommodation..but not by us again.
The property was lovely and the location is really nice and well kept. We did have an issue with a leaking bathroom sink in one of the bedrooms which wasn't fixed by the time we left, however, Mel was very helpful and did call maintenance out and it wasn't too much of an issue. It was a really nice base for a weeks stay. Would definitely recommend.
Philip
Overall it was a wonderful experience staying in Muscat. I would definitely recommend it to others. Understandably to cater for everyone's personal tastes is very challenging indeed. So our only suggestion would be blackout curtains in the bedrooms.
Had a great time
Gerard
Fantastic property. Great setting location. All you could need for a short stay.
Robert
This is an ideal location for exploring the Isle of Wight. There is a pub and gin distillery almost on site that would normally also be a restaurant unfortunately they were between chefs at the time of our stay we had a problem with the internet in our holiday let but the owner did everything he could to help get it connected. Very clean, ample room for 4 adults and the hot tub was luxurious. Comfortable beds and great en suite showers. Only 20 minutes by car to the town of Ryde where there were ample restaurants to suit our needs. Will definitely consider using this let when we return for our next holiday
Absolutely fabulous accommodation and location. A lovely welcome nasket milk and bread just perfect. Everything you could possibly need apart from a full length mirror
