  • "Very comfortable property."

    Nice location, great value for money. A shavers plug socket would be useful. The property is listed as having a washing machine. We found the washing machine in the outside storage building. All plumbed in, but no power socket so we were unable to use. I texted the mobile number twice during our stay but received no reply.

    Hello James we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed the comfort and location of the property. A shaving socket would be a brilliant addition, thank you for that feedback we will add it to our list of modifications to make. We are sorry the washing machine wasn’t quite ready for your stay as we were moving it’s location. It is now fully plumbed and plugged in. I do apologise you didn’t receive a response to your messages, we have double checked our maintenance phone and nothing was received at our end. We hope we can welcome you back to stay again on the beautiful island. Property Owner

  • "The cottage was very nice."

    Good location, very clean and comfortable. Local information provided was really useful. Lovely welcome pack, very much appreciated. The only disappointment was the washing machine provided wasn't plumbed in, therefore unusable.

    We are so pleased you had a lovely stay Julie and enjoyed the cottage and local area. We’re really sorry that the washing machine wasn’t up and running, that was an oversight on our part and will be sorted very soon. We hope we can welcome you back for further visits to the island in the future. Property Owner

  • "We had such a lovely stay here."

    We found the cottage to be really clean, and the kitchen very well-equipped for anything that we needed. The best thing we found was the location. It was so peaceful, such a lovely area with the most gorgeous sea view. I think it's also worth noting that the beds were really comfortable. We would definitely recommend, and are potentially looking to book again next year (although, I was reluctant to write a review as it's such good value for money I didn't want to share my find...!)

    Thank you so much for your kind words we are so pleased you loved your stay and can’t wait to welcome you back. Property Owner

About the location

VENTNOR

Newport 10 miles; Cowes 15 miles.

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!
