“This cottage is in the most stunning, idyllic setting and it was magical to be able to walk freely through the gardens both day and night. The views from upstairs are breathtaking. The cottage itself has great character. The whole trip was like the most relaxing step back in time and we loved it!” – Sophie, February 2020

The Smugglers Lodge is a newly restored Victorian building originally part of the TB Hospital founded in 1869. The National Hospital’s history is brought to life in the Lodge through a series of period black and white photographs and antique plaques from two of the hospital’s thirteen wings or blocks.

Smuggling also played a part in the Isle of Wight’s history along the coves, beaches and chines of its southern coast. Years ago, a Smugglers Museum was located in the basements below the Lodge, so we retained the name in deference to this chapter of the building’s story. More on the Hospital’s history can be found in the Heritage Centre.

The Lodge sits just inside the working entrance to the Botanic Garden where Lodge guests have free and out-of-hours access. The Coastal Path runs through the south part of the Garden and offers lovely walks to Steephill Cove, Ventnor and St Catherine’s Point where several less visited coves are found.

“A delightful little gem of a place. Peaceful and very secluded. Simple and basic amenities but adequate for our needs. Being surrounded by Echiums made it feel tropical! Sightings of a barn owl and red squirrel made it all the more special.” – Rosie April 2019.
