The quaint Victorian seaside resort of Ventnor is located at the southern end of the island and accessed via an array of steep winding roads set amidst beautiful scenery. Sheltered by St. Boniface Down, one of the island's highest points and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this charming town has a uniquely mild micro climate enabling tropical and exotic plants to grow throughout the area. The gently sloping sandy and fine shingle beaches and coves provide excellent facilities for watersports and offer a range of stunning coastal paths to explore, while the harbour sells a broad range of fresh fish and locally-caught seafood. Ventnor is one of the Isle of Wight’s most prestigious food destinations with a good variety of high-quality restaurants,

Bistros, pubs and shops along the esplanade and close to the town centre. The Botanical Gardens are within easy reach and well worth a visit, whilst around the island there are great walking and cycling opportunities, medieval castles, historic houses and a variety of gardens and waterfalls, as well as the unspoilt fishing bay. This great holiday destination has plenty to offer all year-round, and it's easy to see why it's known as the prettiest place on the Isle of Wight!

  • Lisa

    Mattresses very comfortable, would have preferred mattress protective covers. Weather was awful with the storms, so we were inside majority of time, we discovered the knitting and both my 10 year old and 19 year old rediscovered knitting the younger one completing a scarf! So many thanks for that.

  • Nigel

    Property comfortable, although the seating in the lounge area only catered for 4. Parking on the road difficult, but free car park always had spaces.

  • Ian

    10 minutes walk to town or sea .A nice little suntrap garden with views to the sea .Only downside is the indoor stairs are very steep if you have mobility issues No parking but a free car park down the road .
