Lodge marks anniversary

The Lodge at Solent has seen over 20,000 guests, 57 dogs and a cat through its doors since the £5m investment was completed at Solent Business Park in 2017.

Along with the 54-bedroom lodge, the works also upgraded the on-site pub, Parson's Collar Pub and Kitchen, which has also enjoyed success '“ with over 100,000 pints poured, 5,000 pizzas sliced and 4,000 scoops of ice cream demolished.

Manager Ben Cutting said: '˜It's nice to see all that hard work come to fruition and it's certainly kept us busy. The lodge has added a new dimension to our site, it's got a really quirky design and we have found it just as popular with our corporate business guests as with families.'
