Pinot Reviews

Excellent property and a very useful location over on the East side of the island. All good. Hot tub was a most pleasant bonus and the gin place and pub in the car park was a nice place to visit. All good
Alison
Pinot is a lovely holiday lodge. Well maintained and in an excellent location to explore the island. Having the Mermaid gin bar next door is a bonus! Jon came out within the hour to fix a broken lock for us which was much appreciated. The lodge is accessible and my only suggestions to improve this would be the addition of a grab rail in the shower, a seat in the bathroom and a seat by a lower mirror all of which would really help those with mobility issues.
Vernon
This was our 3rd visit to the Vineyard. Again we had a great time and hopefully we will be back. Wishing Well nearby is a bonus.
We had a great week staying at Pinot. This lodge was very clean, comfortable, and very well equipped. We both enjoyed using the hot tub. Location is quiet with a handy pub serving good food. It was very easy to drive anywhere on the island from this site. Contacted Jon about a minor issue and received very prompt and friendly service.
Stuart
Fantastic property, easy to park outside, excellent ramp up to the door. The bathroom had loads of room and the shower was had no step which made it so easy for my wife. Everything you could need for a comfortable stay was in the kitchen area.
Philip
Excellent stay everything was as described , welcome pack was a bonus did not expect that. Hot Tub was all good set at a good temp.and a good size, All in all a enjoyable week with no probs.
Ashley
Would highly recommend this lodge we spend a week there for a romantic retreat ... Would highly recommend this lodge we spend a week there for a romantic retreat away was amazing even down to the location , also the loads it self hot tube was amazing bed etc so comfy Definitely be going back in summer
A very comfortable stay in a great location. Property had everything you need including a fully equipped kitchen if you wanted to stay in and cook. Pinot would benefit from something to put a hand towel on by the sink.
Lesley
Couple minor issues, but would help to elevate the experience of staying in this lovely accommodation. Need oven gloves, lack of was only noticed when trying to get something hot out of oven. Teapot would be much nicer to us tea drinkers than having to dunk tea bag in a cup. Biggest issue, which I can see from the marks on ceiling is the escape light in the bedroom above patio doors, it is so bright I had to buy eye mask to be able to sleep, and judging from the tape marks on the ceiling so have other users who have tried to tape cardboard over it.
Andrew
Lodge is fantastic! It is well equipped and comfortable. The view across the vineyard each morning was lovely and the site is so peaceful. Having the hot tub was wonderful though a covered roof for rainy days would have been good with the British weather! One of the best holiday places we have visited on Isle of Wight. We would love to return.
Kenneth
We appreciate the need for fire doors . The spring on them is extremely strong, so much so that I hurt my arm when one closed on me and did make entering and exiting bedrooms difficult for me during our stay. We would not therefore book Pinot again .
This was our second time staying in Pinot, it was even better than the first time as we had a week of sun. I could quite easily live in there all the time, it has everything you need, its kept spotless, the WiFi is good, plenty of towels, hot water. The hot tub outside is great as well. The added bonus this time was that the Mermaid Inn next door to the site had its restaurant open it wasnt last October. The food in there is great with huge portions especially the fish and chips. My only advice would be that if your staying during the summer months take a fan with you as they do get very warm. We will definitely be going back for a third stay.
The green light in the bedrooms can keep you awake. The rest is lovely.
Alison
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at Pinot, situated in a very nice area of the island! Very quiet and pleasant surroundings, well equipped, immaculately clean, and very high quality furnishings throughout. We appreciated the hot tub, which was very relaxing after a day exploring. Beautiful view from the front patio, and we enjoyed some gin tasting at the Wishing well, just adjacent to the property. We hope to return one day! Thankyou!
Richard
