Syrah, Seaview

Syrah is a sleek eco lodge on the Isle of Wight, sitting pretty on the outskirts of Seaview. This modern two-bedroom retreat overlooks the Mermaid Gin Distillery vineyard - perfect for those who appreciate a good tipple within stumbling distance! Ground floor accommodation throughout makes this an accessible option for everyone in your group.

Located in Pondwell, this lodge puts you right in the sweet spot for exploring the island. Just a 10-minute walk to the beach and surrounded by peaceful countryside. The Mermaid distillery and restaurant is literally one minute away - gin o'clock anyone? After a day of coastal walks and beach hopping, nothing beats sinking into your private hot tub with a glass of something cold.

The accommodation features two well-appointed bedrooms - a king-size and a twin, both with their own TVs (no fighting over the remote!). The open-plan living space creates a sociable hub with a fully-equipped kitchen including dishwasher, washing machine and all modern conveniences. The shower room offers a walk-in shower - though some guests have noted it could use a grab rail.

Nearby attractions include Ryde's sandy beaches (3 miles), Quarr Abbey with its fascinating ruins (2 miles), Amazon World Zoo Park (5 miles) and the classic seaside town of Sandown (4 miles). All easily reachable within 15 minutes by car.

Syrah delivers everything you need for a proper island escape. The private hot tub is a massive bonus - nothing says "holiday" like bubbles in your bubbles! Whether you're exploring or relaxing, this lodge hits all the right notes.
