About this property

Idyllically positioned just a stone's throw away from the glorious sands of Ventnor Beach, in the popular resort of Ventnor, on the Isle of Wight, rests this delightful ground-floor holiday home, Cliffview. Renovated to a magnificent standard, with high-quality fixtures and fittings throughout and enjoying close proximity to the island's most desirable attractions, Cliffview provides an excellent base for a couple seeking a coastal retreat or a small family as there are two sofa beds in the living room. Park up on the roadside and make your way through the communal entrance leading to your new home-from-home. A day filled with adventure calls for rest, so move through the property and enter into the fabulous open-plan living area, flooded with light welcomed in through the traditional bay windows and thoughtfully laid-out with a pair of plush sofa beds taking centre stage, enticing you to put your feet up with a cup of tea. You'll find the well-designed kitchen equipped with all of the essential amenities to assist with your self-catering needs, and a sunny dining area idyllically situated in the window providing views out to sea; the perfect spot to enjoy a romantic meal for two. The bathroom exudes elegance, with eye-catching tiling and an exquisite freestanding bath; pour in the bubbles and indulge in a blissful soak at the end of another exciting day. The sumptuous double bedroom is positioned across the way, where you can catch your rest ahead of a new day of exploration. If you fancy taking a break from doing the cooking one evening, take the short stroll into the centre of Ventnor and treat yourselves to an indulgent meal at one of the many eateries on offer; tuck-in to a spot of pub grub at The Blenheim, or visit The Spyglass Inn, where you can dine with an unspoilt view of the glistening waters of Ventnor Bay. The Ventnor Haven Fishery rests close by, where you can see the fishermen go about their daily catch, or sample some of the fresh produce yourself. Soak in the spectacular scenery as you savour fresh fish and chips with a stroll along the esplanade or escape the excitement with a wander through the vibrant grounds of Ventnor Park and the Botanical Gardens. Spend lazy afternoons lounging on the sands of Ventnor Beach, or travel along the coast to Shanklin Beach, where thrill seekers can try their hand at surfing or standup paddleboarding. Come face-to-face with animals from across the world with a visit to the Amazon World Zoo, take a step back in time with a tour of the exquisite stately home designed by Capability Brown, Appuldurcombe House, or spend peaceful afternoons testing your swing at Ventnor or Shanklin & Sandown Golf Club. Striking coastline, breath-taking countryside, the Isle of Wight AONB and a number of superb towns are all accessible with ease from here, suiting all tastes and interests. A romantic retreat to the coast awaits at Cliffview.

  • Daniel

    The accommodation was perfect - fantastic location (minutes walk from town and beach including the infamous Ventnor paddling pool, restaurants and bars), well-equipped and beautifully furnished. We loved the sea view from the lounge, and also thought it was extremely well priced. Would definitely recommend.

  • Natasha

    Loved the sunny living area with sea views X

  • Roger

    As we had travelled by public transport the location was ideal, being near bus stops and shops.
