Thorness Bay beach is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI) due to both its biological and geological features, with thriving wildlife not found in other areas of the United Kingdom, which makes Thorness Bsy that little bit more special.
Thorness offers something for everybody, weather you are just interested in relaxing on your deck taking in the wonderous daily birdsong, or a dip in the indoor pool, to an exhilarating sea swim and beach picnic. For the more energetic there are sports courts for football or basketball, and an adventure playground.
After a fun packed day, enjoy a tasty meal in the Boathouse Bar and Restaurant before a spot of evening entertainment.

Brilliantly equipped with everything you could need for a relaxing stay on the Isle of Wight. Clean and well kept, spacious and perfect for families. On the edge of the site so very quiet and feels like you're in the countryside. Highly recommend this holiday lodge, we'll be back!!
Only thing missing was a dish rack for the washing up.

This property is an ideal base to explore the island. It is spacious with lovely views over the countryside where you can see plenty of wildlife. Where it is situated gives you the opportunity to use the on-site facilities but far enough away to ensure peace and quiet. We had some very minor problems which did not spoil our stay and Justine and her team dealt with them straight away. 10/10 for customer service, thank you again. We would definitely recommend this property.
Lovely and clean property and exactly as seen in the photos. Everything you could possibly need provided in the accomodation. We didn't really use the onsite facilities but they all looked ok. The beach was lovely and only a short walk.
Fantastic booking experience with the property manager who was informative, helpful and friendly from start to finish.
The property itself was spacious, comfortable, stylish, excellently appointed, clean & well maintained. Truly a place to relax and enjoy everything the Isle of Wight has to offer.
