Miss Ballard August 2019

“Should make clear it is up hill and takes longer to Walk than times stated I felt poss times given were for cars But bus stop outside in mornings and if lucky taxi back if have shopping .”

( taxis hard to find and do not seem to be available often) . We enjoyed walk but not good for people who can’t walk far , but great place to stay for peace and quiet .
Mr Churcher June 2019

“Jacks Hill wow what a fabulous place to stay, a luxury experience and would totally recommend this accommodation to everyone looking for that special rental property.”

Thank you
Mr Hobday-pepper June 2019

“Jacks Hill was a lovely home.”

More than just a place to sleep, it was extremely comfortable and great to relax in on rainy days. Kids were amused by the games and Lego and adults were entertained on the WiFi connection. Made some great memories.
Mr Howe April 2019

“Beautiful house in a warm friendly ideal location.”

From the long walks looking out at the gorgeous landscapes and the smell of the ocean..To the quaint village and friendly locals. For me only one word to describe this holiday is “awesome “.
Mr Catterall October 2018

“Lovely house, spacious in a quiet position.”

Only had one small thing to mention.....sky box was in the downstairs bedroom...it was inconvenient to keep going in the bedroom to switch it on or change channels. Only two of us stayed in the property. If someone had been using that room it would have been even more inconvenient We would certainly stay at Jacks Hill again and have recommended the property to friends and family. This is our second stay with Sykes Cottages Ltd..... We have been very impressed with the properties and the service you provide......well done. We look forward to choosing our next holiday with you thank you

“Jack’s Hill is such a beautiful house in a lovely quiet location.”

All mod cons and comforts and very spacious. I would just highlight that the description does need amending as it actually has four double bedrooms, one on the ground floor. Also, it no longer has the table football. We found all four TV’s in working order so must have been fixed since a previous reviewer. Kitchen very well equipped with everything you could possibly need, and also has a washer dryer, iron and board, hairdryers in every room and a bbq outside. There is also a good selection of board games and a big box of lego my son loved. Also plenty of books! They really have thought of everything! It is walking distance to Ventnor Biotanic Gardens and you can walk to the seafront and town. However, as Ventnor is a hilly place it is tougher on the walk back! We found the amazing ice cream at Crave helped ( they do ice cream for everyone, vegans, diary free, gluten free etc, delicious)! We can not recommend this beautiful, spotlessly clean, modern home enough, wish it was my house! We will definitely be booking on our next trip to the Island! Thank you so much for sharing it!
Mr Mills July 2018

“Very nice standard of accommodation and generally very clean.”

Only two small criticisms in that two of the four tvs do not work and should therefore not be in the advert and the cooker hood filters need replacing as they smell quite strongly of grease. Other than that I would highly recommend this property to others.

“Great house and location”
Mr Evenett June 2018

“We had a lovely stay at Jack's Hill , the house was very nice, well presented and high spec.”

Kitchen very well equipped. There were six adults in our party and we had plenty of room, all bedrooms very comfortable. There are a couple of things that need updating in the sykescottage description. (which the owner has advised them of). The additional lounge is now a 4th bedroom downstairs ( you will count four bedrooms in the accompanying photos ) and there isn't a football table on the first floor landing area. Ventnor itself is very hilly! so be warned if you venture out on foot, but there are some lovely walks along the coastal path starting at Steeple Cove, just a 15 min. walk from the house. Visited all the usual haunts, The Needles, Osborne House, The Steam Railway in Havenstreet was a good afternoon out and the Falconry display next to it was very good (and free). If you like a Gin, drop in to the Mermaid Distillery, Pondwell ( Wishing Well Pub) a nice setting and some great Cocktails. We will definitely be looking to stay there again in the future a great time had by all

“Jack’s Hill is a beautiful , immaculately presented modern house .”

All the furnishings , crockery , kitchen utensils and bedding are of the highest quality . And as for the showers ! They are amazing ! We ( 2 couples ) loved our stay there ., and would definitely recommend it . Total luxury !
Mrs Atkinson June 2018

“We had a great time at Jack's Hill and were really surprised at the quality of the fixtures and fittings and how well equipped the property was.”

I have stayed in many holiday lets and this has certainly been the best equipped - I needn't have bought my favourite utensils etc from home!! My only feeling was that a sun umbrella for the table would have been good, as we were lucky to have a lot of sunshine during our stay and there wasn't a lot of shade on the deck. My elderly mother (88) found the shower in the bathroom hard to work out, but we got there in the end, although the wooden shower board slipped around in the tray a bit and a small aesthetically pleasing grab rail would have been handy (fortunately I have a portable one)!!! None of us found the spiral staircase a problem, even though my mother & I have trouble with stairs generally. We didn't find these any more difficult than a straight staircase and with the benefit of a downstairs bedroom and a cloakroom, everything worked well. Mum did say she found the mattress a little uncomfortable and on inspection it didn't seem as supportive or as comfortable as the upstairs ones, but it was not a major issue. The house is in a great position and nowhere is that far to travel on the island. Would I return? - most certainly, there is still so much more to explore.

“Top Marks”

Stayed here mid Sept, 4 adults & 2 young children (1 & 3 years old). Lovely holiday home. Stylish, modern accomodation, light & airy. Clean & very well presented. Well equipped kitchen. Nice modern bathrooms. Main bathroom very big with bath & seperate double shower. Glass spiral staircase is stunning however not the best with young children but we knew this when we booked. Lovely location to explore the island. Close to Ventnor seafront. Less than 5mins drive & 20-30min walk depending on pace. Steephill Cove a short walk away. There are lots of cobwebs around the place which I feel could have been cleaned as otherwise the place was very clean. I could understand the odd cobweb or spider due to the wooded area behind the property but they seem to have built up a fair bit. Another issue was we were only left 2 dishwasher tablets for a weeks stay. As we don't have a dishwasher at home we didn't have any to bring. I feel 1 tablet a day would be a reasonable request if providing a dishwasher. Minor flaws which don't detract from this fantastic property. Highly reccommend.

“Great house for a family group”

We stayed here as a group of 6 adults and a 2 year old. On arrival we arrived at 3pm which was check in time but the cleaners were still in doing the last of the cleaning they said they would be 45 mins so we used the toilet and parked up the cars and a few of us wondered off to see the area Which is where we found steep hill cove which was very nice indeed. After about 45mins we walked back up to the house and was able to get in. The house itself was in a residential setting and as soon as you walk in you have a wow factor of the spiral staircase and the open feel of the house with the big bifold doors onto the decking area which we used for our evening bbq 's. We used 3of the 4 time provided and were all very happy with the size of the rooms which were huge the bathroom was of high standard. The only thing I may of done is in the upstairs bedroom with the balcony put it's own ensuite in as the room was so big and the bathroom was next door so would be easy to do. The kitchen was very modern and on trend and perfectly big enough for the family to use and not be in each others way. It came with all the necessary equipment for everyday use. We had a tesco delivery which was great for stocking up the American fridge ready for the week stay. The house is in a great location with all the major attractions on the ism of wight in easy reach we loved the monkey haven especially. The house in the evenings was great to with the table football area upstairs and the sofas downstairs for family only downside was the sky being in the bedroom for the main tv so couldn't change tv channels that easy. House all in all was fantastic for a family holiday with nice areas for everyone to be together or if you want some quite time there was areas for that to. We throughly enjoyed our week away here and would recommend to friends and family.

“Fabulous contemporary, well equipped, spacious property”

The accommodation was first class in every way and no expense had been spared with the fixtures and fittings. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with plenty of high class crockery (all Denby), cooking utensils and cutlery. Everywhere was spacious, extremely clean and the contemporary décor made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. It was by far the best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in, and so well equipped (with a large american style fridge freezer and quality range cooker) that we chose to stay in and cook several times rather than going out to eat. Two of the bedrooms were huge, and the light, airy, feel of the place meant that our party of 3 couples and 1 toddler had plenty of personal space. In fact we were able to invite another party of 5 people (who were staying nearby) round for a meal one evening, as there was ample equipment, space and seating plus a dishwasher to take care of the washing up. It was very untypical of a normal holiday let and it appears that it was not originally built, or fitted out, with the rental market in mind. It was slightly out of the way, approx a 25 minute walk to Ventnor, with a steep hill to climb on the way back, but this did not spoil our enjoyment of staying in this fantastic house. We would definitely return, if we holiday in this area again, and would highly recommend it to others.

“Lovely spacious and modern house”

We rented this property for 7 people which included 3 children aged 8-11. The property is very modern and spacious and well equipped. Good location although not within walking distance to anything, you do need to have a car. It is located on Steep Hill and it really lives up to its name so beware. We were particularly impressed with the amount and quality of board games, books and lego supplied for the children. The table football went down exceptionally well with the children and big kids (men). The garden is a lovely sun trap with the back of the house opening up fully, great for an afternoon or evening drink. It is a shame there isn't a view of the bay as this would make it perfect. Our only criticism is we had to wash glasses and cutlery as they were very greasy. There was even a spatula which had been used for frying and put back in the drawer without cleaning. This I am sure was an oversight by the cleaners and the remainder of the property was immaculate. There is a dishwasher but you need to bring your own dishwasher tabs and toiletries are not provided. We would return and we would recommend to others. The property would have received a higher rating had it supplied luxury toiletries and we did not have to do a lot of washing up before using some of the equipment.

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. A good variety of shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants line the esplanade, whilst the Botanical Gardens are within easy reach and well worth a visit. With plenty to see and do around the island for all the family, including 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.
