Nice place to stay
The caravan was well presented and clean. The resort was an ideal place to base our holiday and was within easy reach of all the places of interest we wanted to visit. Facilities at the resort were good but if you want to use the swimming pool book your slot when you arrive as there is limited availability. The co-op store just across the road from the resort is extremely useful for those essentials you have either forgotten or need. I advise taking some oven gloves if you intend to cook as these are not supplied.

Couples week away
Me & My partner stayed here on 8/7/24 - 14/7/24 6 nights. Check in was excellent and friendly staff. We had a brilliant stay the accommodation which was a caravan with a hot tub was so lovely, clean had everything we needed. The patio was well kept the view was lovely & the hot tub was at the right temperature when we arrived the caravan was roomy was really lovely. The Monday night we went to the Lakeside bar & eatery we both had a 3 course meal it was absolutely delicious definitely recommend the cocktails were amazing friendly helpful staff didn't have to wait long between each courses good value for money. We did kayaking a few of the days which was epic such a laugh the young lifeguards were friendly and helpful especially when my sister brought my Autistic Nephew they helped him and had a friendly talk and laughter at the end whilst getting our shoes on my nephew absolutely loved it especially talking to the lifeguards he absolutely loved kayaking unfortunately i didn't get the names of the lifeguards but they were the same ones each time when we went kayaking. I got a phone call the 2nd day to ask if everything was fine and if we needed anything which was really good of them to ask everything was fine and didn't need anything. We have been coming for the past two years. This is the 2nd time this year hopefully be coming again October. Thank you for such a lovely week away. I always recommend you guys to family/friends Brilliant place to stay 10+ stars on all services

A Chilled place to stay.
Beautiful grounds, the lake enlightens the site, especially when lit of an evening. Loved my Caravan, Clean, modern & had a very comfortable bed. Plenty of room. All the facilities you need on this site too. The staff were so friendly & helpful. This place is Central to all routes to visit the surrounding area’s. I will definitely stay at lakes Rookley again.

Great value for money
The caravan itself was beautiful. There were a lack of cookware though which was frustrating - predominantly no oven gloves, oven trays or saucepans/ frying pans. Luckily we brought a tray and frying pan with us just incase. The bed was VERY soft which caused me a lot of problems but will probably be suitable for many. There were no coffee tables in our caravan either which was frustrating but we could see that other caravans did have them. The site itself wonderful. You couldn’t ask for a better location to access the whole island’s attractions. The food in the restaurant, while a little pricy, was brilliant. Being able to bring our dogs was great and they loved walking round the lake and surround areas. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the caravan itself preferring to explore. The local pubs are phenomenal and all within a few mins drive. We will definitely come back again but will probably pay a bit more for a better caravan or chalet next time

Easy check in and good communication from them prior to arrival. Cottage was comfortable, warm and peaceful. The hairdryer is listed as being included in the room, but it’s not *in* the room. You will need to give a deposit at reception and they’ll hand one over. Cash only deposit, and they don’t have ATMs on site - seems like a silly unnecessary inconvenience. They also text AND emailed about marketing to buy a caravan during our 3 day stay which seems a bit overkill. Shower pretty powerful and TV selection decent. Didn’t use any of the main facilities on site. Well located for everything on the island, I don’t think we drove more than 20 minutes to get anywhere which was handy.

Gone down hill
I have stayed here at various times over the last 5 years and have really enjoyed it. The club house was always superb and the cottages were well equipped clean and comfortable. This time because of an error in booking we had a static at the end of the park. The first night we ordered a takeaway only to find we had 2 forks. We called reception and some were delivered. The following morning we went to do a cooked breakfast. We had 1 baking tray. No grill pan and only 4 plates. There was no starter pack containing a cloth, washing up liquid etc so I had to walk to the co-op. All of these things were in order in my previous visits. The beds are so uncomfortable I could t sleep. The sofas are basically a cushion on a wooden board and are also really uncomfortable, the TV was really bad also. I loved my time in the Isle of Wight, but hated every moment in this site. No entertainment for the kids which they loved on previous occasions.. reception closes at 4:30pm… The only thing that amused me was how the flooding of the site was dealt with. A person stood on a pallet truck trying to move a railway sleeper with a rake to unblock the road…

A lovely stay
The caravan was clean and comfortable. Any issues we had during the stay were dealt with efficiently. The desk staff were friendly, polite and helpful. Ideas for improvement: The addition of a frying pan and baking tray would be helpful. An additional bin bag to help with recycling sorting.

No amenities as mentioned… no soap!
Arrived to a lady who eye rolled me on check in at the bar, even though they were aware of me arriving after 8pm. Was told if I couldn’t find accommodation to call reception (but they close at 5pm..). Found our caravan, to find the door wide open and an inside light on… not what I expected to be quite honest. No instructions for heating/ hot water or even the oven etc… No towels (just a bath mat) no hairdryer, 2 glasses in the kitchen (wine glasses were there but children are a nightmare with those), and no pizza cutter or oven glove. Not even one basic soap/ hand wash for a sink…. Hotels.com stated towels and a hairdryer would be in our caravan. So maybe that needs removing for others to see in future. It was clean in general, tv is ever so basic, I had to tether WiFi which isn’t the end of the world. Would I stay here again? Probably not. White cliff bay was much better overall. Just a bit disappointed. Not ideal when you haven’t got what was told the caravan had. But the silver lining, was the fake fire (no heat) - did look nice of an evening.
