Hidden beyond wrought iron gates and manicured gardens lies Middle Lodge, offering character and comfort. This Victorian stone holiday home is discreetly located at the edge of Appley Park, as well as only being a short walk from the stunning, golden shores of Appley Beach.

Middle Lodge offers a retreat from day to day life, but within easy reach of amenities, should you wish to use them. A fifteen minute walk west and you will reach Ryde, which has a good selection of individual shops, restaurants, bars and tea rooms, as well as a wide, sandy beach. The promenade offers traditional attractions, including fun fair rides and ten-pin bowling, whilst more active visitors can enjoy a variety of water sports, such as canoeing and swimming, in both the sea and the local pool. Although the island is renowned for its warm, sunny climate, plenty of the attractions can be enjoyed throughout the year. Explore the quaint villages, indulge in cream teas and local produce, discover the inventive ways to use garlic at The Garlic Farm and restaurant, take the plunge at the Tapnell Farm Aqua Park, explore the rides and grounds at Robin Hill Adventure Park, broaden your knowledge at the museums and historic sites – or fall in love with the adorable animals at one of the dedicated animal centres, like the Donkey or Wildheart Animal Sanctuaries.
