The Surroundings
On your doorstep .....
Our holiday lodges are set within the grounds of our own home, Arethusa Cottage, which has a large garden that you are welcome to enjoy! Our cottage is of local historical interest and both this and the lodges are set within Pig Leg Lane nature reserve, a natural area of meadow and woodland on the southern edge of Ryde, adjoining the Monktonmead Brook. This beautiful unspoilt area is one of the few areas in Ryde where you can enjoy the countryside as it might have looked in years gone by.
