Your Stay With Us
We think recovery holidays are a great idea. We combine the essence of a retreat, a convention and 'a day out at the beach'. We can talk about sobriety, read a few recovery books together or put on our walking boots and get into the countryside. Somerton Lodge is a place for respite in a sober environment, or a sober base for trips around the amazing Isle of Wight.
Our aim is to make you feel safe and spiritually contented – in the knowledge that here, everyone is in recovery. We want you to feel cared-for and to relax, but also to share our sense of joy that life is now good. And with this sense of wellbeing you can repair a little bit more, grow a little bit more.
Comfort
-
We're not a five-star hotel. We don't have swimming pools and spas, but neither are we a bare-bones monastic retreat!
-
With eighteen guest rooms, we have plenty of accommodation, and whether you're on your own, or a large group, we will ensure you are comfortable.
-
Every room has a well appointed en-suite bathroom and we supply you with a lovely clean and fresh set of towels.
-
You'll also find 'the makings' for tea and coffee in each room.
Simple and Wholesome
-
Somerton Lodge is a simple place. In a way it's the classic English experience of a small Victorian villa with a lovely garden. This is how we like it – it's spiritually peaceful. No one is rushing for a sun bed or getting merry at the bar.
-
Eat a lovely home-cooked evening diner with us or enjoy one of our traditional English breakfasts – without a hangover in sight!
-
Occasionally we push the boat out and erect a marquee in the garden and do something like a hog roast and have a sing-along with some of our sober musician friends. Ask about what's going on with a quick phone call any time!
