What a fantastic place to visit and stay!!
We have been coming to events at Tinwwod for soooo many years but this is the first time we have stayed.
The Lodges show the same attention to detail and quality that Art, Jody and the Team (especially Vlada, as seen in the Times) show to everything they do. Everyone is so welcoming, the Afternoon Tea was exceptional (the egg sandwiches were amazing and the little tarts were delicious) and of course the best sparkling wine on the south coast.
Breakfast being delivered to our door at the sensible hour of 9 am, was the jam on the croissant. The jam, sorry, mixed fruit compote, was outstanding!!!
Thank you all for a wonderful stay!

Celebrating the 1st of March in luxury and style.

For the money you part with to stay at Tinwood, the accommodation and service just isn’t worth it. All in all, it’s not luxury.

The room is large and in a very nice setting with beautiful views of the vines but that’s about it.  The rooms look great from the pictures but up close, have aged considerably. Many things in the rooms don’t work like they should (loo leaks, taps don’t work on cold setting, jacuzzi bath didn’t work for us and coffee machine leaked everywhere.) 

In terms of hospitality, there isn’t really any. If you’re staying over, you’re somewhere in between the service level of an extremely basic b&b and a self catering apartment (however there is no kitchenette area etc.) The service isn’t very welcoming and most answers to anything you asked the staff was ‘not sure, I’ll find out’ and no one came back to you.

Breakfast was nice enough-ish but incredibly basic. Basically a hamper in your room with a thimble of orange juice, some cold toast, an egg and some granola.

There is so much potential here but just a seemingly lacking in passion for what customers care about and want. Would not stay again, or recommend anyone to, with the price and service as it is now.

Disappointing

My husband and I recently stayed in a lodge at Tinwood Estate for our anniversary. The accommodation was beautiful, with a huge comfortable bed, massive jacuzzi bath and walk in shower room. The weather was terrible but it made it feel even more cosy sitting inside with the view of the rain over the vines. We did a tour and tasting so were then able to go back to the lodge and pick our favourite bottle from the wine fridge. The next morning breakfast was delivered promptly at 9am, a full continental breakfast with soft boiled eggs and orange juice. There was also a coffee machine in the lodge with pods. We paid an extra £15 for a 12pm check out and it was so nice not having to rush off in the morning, we didn’t want to leave and would love to come back.

A perfect anniversary stay

Based on the expensive rates ($350/night) I'm giving this place an average rating: whilst the room was nice, there's no way it can justify a higher rating, especially as the hospitality-side of their operation seemed quite limited. We stayed two nights, and in terms of the room itself, it was nice - spacious, comfortable, and reasonably clean. There was a Nespresso machine and ample coffee pods, and a wine-fridge stocked with for-purchase wines. The view was lovely, and the location was quiet and peaceful - and close enough to a good pub for dinner. Breakfast was ample, but rather basic.

On to the things that just weren't up to standard for such an expensive property: it just didn't feel very generous. In a hotel of this price, you'd expect all sorts of little additional luxuries - maybe a welcome drink, a complimentary bottle of wine, a box of chocolates, a bowl of fruits, or at least some toiletries. There was nothing of the kind here - not even some moisturiser in the bathroom. Whilst reasonably clean, it still felt a bit grimy in some places; all of the glasses and cutlery looked grotty - they don't dry the champagne glasses, so they're covered in watermarks (even in the tasting room). I find vineyards to be fastidious about clean glassware, but not here.
The taps in the bathroom leaked everywhere - this must be obvious to the cleaning staff on a daily basis, but clearly no action is ever taken. You have a constant pool of water on the floor.

Lastly, the "service" - whist friendly, was amateur. On multiple times we were told "I'm not sure" when enquiring about where to eat, where to visit, opening times...it was quite disengaged. We did the vineyard tour, but it felt like a bit of a cheat: as they don't actually produce the wine onsite, all you can actually see are the vines. So you essentially stand outside for a few minutes, and then pay $30 for the privilege for a guided tasting of 3 wines. You can purchase food, from a strange self-service canteen set-up. 

For half the price, it would have been OK, but we came away with a bit of a sour taste in our mouths...
  

Massively overpriced

Tranquil setting. Stayed in beautiful Chardonnay Lodge. Wine tour and tasting a must.  Fabulous friendly staff. Short stroll to village.  View of vineyards from terrace.  Lodge has beautiful bathroom with double jacuzzi bath and separate shower room.  Will definitely return.

Perfect Setting

Wow, this place really lived up to my expectations. 
We were so lucky with the sunshine as I’m not sure I would have enjoyed it as much in the rain. 
We were able to enjoy cheese and hams from the kitchen for lunch when we arrived while sat on our private terrace. 
We had two dogs and they were made to feel so welcome, we walked them around the vineyards which they loved. 
For dinner we walked to the Anglesey arms which is a 5min walk. The food and service here were very good and also dog friendly. 
The jacuzzi bath was a real luxury which I actually prefer rather than hot tubs as a bath is much more hygienic. 
Great nights sleep although could have done with softer pillows. 
I would also like to suggest adding a moisturiser next to the hand soap, something so minor but I forgot my moisturiser so would have been handy to have. 
The breakfast hamper was very delicious, it had everything you could want for a continental breakfast. 
Overall, it was such a lovely stay in the most beautiful location. I highly recommend to stay here!

An amazing stay in a beautiful location

Tinwood is nothing short of incredible! I booked a surprise trip for my partners birthday and it didn’t disappoint. The pre-arrival information was great and I sent in birthday banners & paid for champagne in the room which they had no issues in sorting for me. Check in was at 2pm but we arrived at 12.30pm to use the free bikes which was good fun. There are also some lovely local walks. At check in we were shown to our lodge. It’s worth every penny! Not a single detail has been missed. We particularly loved the heated floors in the bathroom and HUGE jacuzzi bath. There was a lovely coffee machine, fully stocked wine fridge (paid by the bottle),  giant rain shower, super comfy bed and the breakfast hamper in the morning was a wonderful touch. Breakfast consisted of croissants, fruit juice, toast, dippy eggs, yoghurt, berries, muesli etc. The views were out of this world! The only thing we would personally add to the lodges is a full length mirror and the pillows were quite hard. We were booked onto the wine tour at 3pm and found this really good value for money. The owner of the vineyard guided our tour which we found a very personal touch and we had 3 glasses of wine & a cheeseboard included. I personally wouldn’t stay if you don’t book the wine tour. We ate at Anglesey Arms; a local pub just 5 minutes from the lodges and their food was fab. We were incredibly lucky with the weather but can imagine in the rain it’s not so fun. There’s a sauna for guests but we just ran out of time to use it but it did look great. Other than adding in a full length mirror and changing the pillows we would have liked check out to be at 11am, only because the price for the stay we felt 11am would have been fair. Amazing place, highly recommend. We came away with a bottle of rose and will save it for another special occasion. Thank you Tinwood, we will be back one day 😊

Luxury to another level! No detail has been missed

There is not one thing to fault about the experience of staying at the Lodges at Tinwood.  Everything is perfect in every way - every detail has been thought through, the whole experience of being at Tinwood is divine.  The highlight has to be the view when you wake up in the morning and the incredible breakfast hamper! Thank you Tinwood for a super experience, we both loved it as did Wilfred and Ruby

Absolute perfection

We had a perfect stay at Tinwood, in one of the three lodges available, each overlooking the beautiful vineyard. The rooms were the quality of a 5* hotel - massive, comfortable beds and amazing bathroom (one of the best showers I’ve had!). The breakfast they left outside our door in the morning was also lovely.

The wine tour was fun, and we went to the pub down the road for dinner. Overall, a really special experience I would recommend to anyone - all very reasonably priced!

A very special experience

The Lodges were perfect for our short friends get-together. They are very well designed - packing all essential facilities most tastefully into a small space. Even in October we loved the verandah overlooking the vineyards - great for breakfast or an evening drink. 
Breakfast was ideal - brought to our door, sustaining and healthy and not too much. 
We walked to dinner at the local pub which was ideal. 
The vineyard tour was a fabulous addition to our stay.

Perfect accommodation “away from it all”, yet everything we needed was on hand.
