Ava Lodge

This airy retreat sits in the beautiful Isle of Wight countryside near the town of Brading and welcomes six guests, offering a well-appointed base for families and groups of friends planning island adventures together. The ancient town of Brading (1 mile) abounds with independent restaurants and traditional pubs serving up delicious local produce.

It also plays host to the popular Lilliput Doll and Toy Museum as well as plenty of historic buildings and interesting architecture. A popular nearby attraction is Adgestone Vineyard (0.5 miles) – one of the oldest vineyards in the UK where you can enjoy wine tasting, tours, and meals in the on-site restaurant.

For more local charm, head to Brading Roman Villa (1.5 miles) or spend the day at Wildheart Animal Sanctuary (2.5 miles). For seaside joy, the sandy shores of Sandown Beach are just 3 miles away.

Before stepping into this contemporary holiday lodge, take a moment to appreciate its tranquil position that overlooks rolling countryside and offers glimpses of the ocean. Head inside and kick off muddy walking boots in the hallway before moving through to the social heart of the home – the open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner.

Natural light floods this space thanks to triple-aspect windows and glass doors that lead to the peaceful patio. Unwind in the lounge area after days of adventure; sink into the soft seating, fire up the wood burner, and catch your favourite shows on the Smart TV.

When stomachs rumble, a sleek corner kitchen boasts everything needed for a self-catered break, while the adjacent dining table is perfect for planning the next day’s itinerary over dinner. At the end of each busy day away, three restful bedrooms await: a master king-size room with an en-suite shower room and two king-size bedrooms with zip-and-link beds that convert to twins on request.
