Glamping

Acacia Bay Woodlands is a pair of cabins on a one-acre wooded plot just off the main road between Ryde and Brading, close to Whitefield Forest Touring Park and a short drive from a big supermarket. Both were fully renovated for 2024.

Each cabin sleeps two, with one bedroom, a flushing toilet and hot shower, a kitchen with oven, fridge and freezer, wifi and laundry, plus its own parking space, private entrance, secure garden, BBQ, picnic table and a fire pit with firewood supplied. Dogs are welcome, and the two cabins can be booked together for a small group.

It is listed on Hipcamp and on cottage-agency sites as The Woodlands Retreat; there is no direct website, and bookings carry a two-night minimum and a strict cancellation policy.
