  • "Lovely cottage in the town."

    Would definitely book again. Could the owner let people know where free car parks are as parking all over the island is expensive.

    Thank you Mark for your great feedback. I will take your advice and put details in the guest information pack on areas with free parking. It would I’m sure be very useful for those who do not wish to purchase the tourist permit. Property Owner

  • "Our 2nd stay at 1 Tulse Hill Cottage & as before we loved it!"

    The cottage is perfect for a stay in Ventnor. Close to shops, bus stop & car parks, it is ideal for exploring locally, or further afield. Perfectly dog friendly, the cottage was great for 3 adults & our 2 pups. It is clean, cosy & well equipped. Suzanne is responsive & helpful. We wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you!

    Once again thank you Jen for such a wonderful review. It really means a lot to get such great feedback. Hopefully we will see you back again in the future. Property Owner

  • "Super little cottage - very cosy and extremely well presented."

    A lovely deck in the back garden - perfect on a sunny day. Close to the High Street and only a short walk to the Esplanade. Parking a car at the property is not possible and so there is a need to add the cost of using one of the nearby public car parks. We found the IOW tourist permit (£70) ideal as this allowed us to park anywhere on the island for the whole week. Only slight problem is that the cottage is located at the bottom of a very steep hill and this could make things difficult for those that may have walking difficulties.

    Thank you so much Chris for such a lovely review. I’m so glad that you enjoyed your stay. Best regards, Suzanne Property Owner

  • "If you are a family who may want to save money by catering for yourself, this cottage is not for you."

    The kitchen was so narrow and small it made any form of cooking tricky. Apart from the fridge there is no where to store food There is a toilet at the far end of the kitchen which can only be accessed if there is no one else in the kitchen. The cottage is quaint and cosy but space is at a premium which can be over powering at times. The hill from the town is short but very very steep. Not for the faint hearted.

    Dear Ms Nicholls, I am really sorry to hear that 1 Tulse Hill wasn’t quite right for you. It is a traditional two up two down fisherman’s cottage, in fact one of the oldest in Ventnor and we have tried to make use of the space in the very best way we can. I will add some information to the description regarding this and the fact that it is on a steep road. Best wishes, Suzanne Property Owner

    Spotlessly clean and comfortable, we've been to the Isle of Wight three times now but this is the first time we'd go back to the same house. Very close to all the amenities, but generally a quiet spot. Lots of nice places to eat nearby. Host is really responsive and helpful.

    The cottage location is superb for all the great amenities in Ventnor, which made our holiday so easy. The decor and cleanliness of the cottage is five star ! It felt like home from home and everything had been thought through to ensure maximum comfort. The outdoor deck area is lovely and added an option to sit in the sun whilst there too. We would return to stay here as cannot fault anything at all ! A great place to stay !

    Everything had been anticipated by the owners. The photos online don’t really do the cottage justice, especially the garden which is lovely and not at all too steep. Ventnor has some great places to eat out and we loved the microclimate.

    Thank you Suzanne for such an amazing review. We really do appreciate it. :) Property Owner

    It is charming, comfortable and clean, and the location is excellent for the high street & bus stop whilst being very quiet. Beach is only a short walk away.

  • "We spent a very happy week in the cottage, which was well presented and generally very comfortable."

    We also enjoyed the fact that we were very near the town centre shops, and the beach and buses.The only slight drawback was the Jack and Jill bathroom, but in an old character cottage this was a practical solution.

    Thank you so much Christine for your review. You are right, being such an old cottage, we had to find a good and comfortable solution for the bathroom and a Jack and Jill bathroom ticked all the boxes. All the best, Suzanne Property Owner

  • "Really lovely and cosy holiday cottage."

    Just the right size for two people. Had everything we needed for a few days. Parking never a problem in the town car park. Tourist permit was really good price compared to their hourly charges for parking. Only negative is the bedroom curtains and blinds. Even with the blinds and curtains closed the light still comes in as they don’t really block the light.

    The cottage was in a great location close to shops, pubs and the beach front. Even though we had to park on a nearby carpark this was quick to walk to and there was always a space available. The cottage itself was a great place to stay, well kept, and clean. We had everything we needed. There were lovely little touches from the host such as a bottle of Prosecco on arrival (the trip was for my husband’s birthday) and she even messaged to check we were ok with the weather - storm Ciaran Overall great value for money and highly recommended

    Parking isn’t a problem in one of the towns car parks. Cottage is well equipped and very clean. If I had to find any criticisms, the tv in the lounge had very limited channels, but really no reasons to be sat in front of the tv as ventnors scenery is far more appealing!!! Would definitely book the cottage again!!! Thank you for looking after us so well.

  • "I stayed here for a few days and immediately wished I'd booked for longer."

    The cottage is beautiful. I loved the layout and the decoration was very welcoming to make one feel 'at home'. We had absolutely everything we needed within the cottage and it was easy to find. The welcome pack of information was very helpful - we went to the cafe recommended for breakfast with the best coffee and weren't disappointed! They also advertised the local Indian restaurant which we were so pleased with. One staff member in particular took a shine to our baby girl which made the experience so lovely with fantastic customer service throughout and gorgeous food. The cottage is in a great location with just a short walk down hill to the beach and pool type area. We loved that it was more quiet where we were with the option to walk a little bit further to the busier area of the beach. Ventnor is a great place to stay - we thoroughly enjoyed exploring and will be back again so explore more and hope the cottage is available for us to stay in when we do! Suzanne the owner, was very easy to get in touch with and was so helpful letting us know an event going on and the parking situation. Thank you so much for a lovely and regrettably short stay in your lovely cottage. We felt so welcome and relaxed and enjoyed the garden area in the sun, it was so peaceful. Added bonus of having netflix and prime available for settling down in the evening with a glass of wine! Thank you again for a wonderful experience

The property

Positioned in the centre of Ventnor, a beautiful Victorian, coastal town in the Isle of Wight is 1 Tulse Hill Cottages, a delightful, two-bedroom dwelling.

Just paces away from a whole host of eateries, the beach, shops, and great transport links, whilst enjoying a country-style interior, and a rear, decked garden, the cottage welcomes four guests and two furry companions, offering the ideal base for a family break near an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Unload your luggage on the roadside, before parking up in one of the two nearby public car parks, or hopping off the bus, before taking a short walk to the cottage, firstly entering the dining room, where you can enjoy formal meals as a group.

Continue through to the lovely sitting room, featuring plush seating, a Smart TV with DVD, and an electric log burner style fire, offering the perfect setting to unwind and settle into your break.

The kitchen is well-equipped with a range of appliances to ease your self-catered stay, where you can rustle up delicious meals, before dining alfresco upon the sunny elevated decked area.

When sleep calls, select between a double and a twin room, both with Jack-and-Jill access into the sleek shower room.

Come morning, stock up on the essentials at one of the nearby convenience stores, or stroll to Toni's cafe, on Ventnor beach for coffee and croissant.

For lunch or evening meal, plan to dine out at Cantina, the Drunken Lobster, the Spyglass inn, or one of many other great nearby pubs and restaurants, or stroll to the harbour and buy some locally caught fresh seafood.

Before heading to the beach, practise your swing at the local golf club, tour the Ventnor Heritage Museum, or ramble through the Ventnor Botanic Garden, dotted with exotic plans and pretty blooms, or enjoy one of the many coastal walks.

Within proximity you'll also reach the magnificent grounds of Appuldurcombe House, Devil's Chimney, a breath-taking vantage point, and Amazon World Zoo, a family favourite, among many others nearby.

Towards Newport, enjoy a tour of Carisbrooke Castle, discover the Monkey Haven - Primate Rescue Centre, or brush up on your local knowledge at the Museum of Island History, whilst Cowes offers a delightful coastal setting, where you can follow the Red Squirrel Trail, to reach the harbour.

Experience all of this at 1 Tulse Hill Cottages.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

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!
