About this property
'Woodside Lodge' with private indoor pool. Secluded location, near to Ryde town.
Tastefully furnished, Woodside Lodge is one of two lodges set in the grounds of Arethusa Cottage, within Pig Leg Lane 'natural' nature reserve. It is secluded, but within walking distance to Ryde town and beach. Available to book all year round, it sleeps two in a double bedroom, with a large sofa bed for up to two extra guests in living area,.
The living space opens onto a gated private decking area with seating and gas BBQ. The lodge has a full kitchen and a modern wet room style bathroom with shower (no bath). Guests have use of owners garden with seating areas and a large pond with koi carp. Dogs welcome - walks in the nature reserve right on the doorstep or on the fields a few minutes walk away, plus Appley beach locally is dog friendly all year. Guests have use of an indoor heated swimming *pool, shared with guests at one other lodge. The immediate area is quiet although the Island Train Line runs a short distance away and the trains can be heard from the property (it's not a busy line though).
We offer trade rate ferry travel with both Wightlink and Red Funnel.
Both lodges offered with Arethusa Cottage Holiday Lodges - 'Woodside' and 'Monktonmead' - can be booked together for families or groups up to 10 people, discounted rate applies.
*Please note that the swimming pool will be closed for the winter 2025/26 season, re-opening for February half term 2026. A discount will be applied for bookings during this period.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Sue Massingham
We (Sue and Paul) moved to Arethusa Cottage in early 2020, from our home in Surrey. The lodges in our grounds were already established as holiday lets and we were thrilled to be taking over the business. Our background is in the hospitality industry, but more recently working in a church (property management and caretaking), plus pet food delivery, dog sitting and dog walking! We have made a number of improvements to the lodges and grounds and we love running the business which is proving to be very busy. We have a tri-paw Romanian rescue dog - the island has loads of dog friendly places. We look forward to welcoming more guests (and their dogs) to the beautiful Isle of Wight.
Why they chose this property
Arethusa Cottage has a rich local history and the setting of the cottage and lodges is wonderful - secluded but within walking distance of the beach and Ryde town. Pig Leg Lane nature reserve (which is rough and non-landscaped) which surrounds the cottage and lodges means that the property is quiet but not isolated as the town is so nearby.
What makes this property unique
The indoor (heated) private pool is a real added bonus for these lodges and is available all year round for guests to enjoy. We get quite a lot of two generation families booking both lodges as the whole family can be together but have independence with their own space too.
