  • "Property isn’t really ground floor as you have to go below street level."

    Excellent apartment.Everything you need for a comfortable stay.Very steep hill but only a short way up.Proximity to seafront couldn’t be better. We bought a weekly parking pass and parked in big car park behind Spyglass Pub. Pass can be used for most of the rest of the Islands car parks but look it up on website as a different code has to be used.

  • "Ideal for a short break for two."

    Great for us and we are a couple in our 70's but the steep incline up to the property will not suit those with any walking difficulties. It's about 30 steps up the hill from the promenade, which makes it very well situated. Parking will be difficult at peak times, although the long stay behind the excellent Spyglass Inn (about 200 yards) seems always to have space. The parking currently costs £2 for an overnight stay. If you were to park up all day allow at least another £10 - a bugbear of ours. The property is ok for two and well presented. This was our second visit and we expect to be back!

    The apartment was absolutely lovely and in a great location. We would definitely love to return. Highly recommended.

    Not one for anyone with walking problems, or cars with handbrake issues.

  • "We very much enjoyed our stay at Seaside."

    The apartment was very comfortable, well equipped and peaceful, and surprisingly quiet given that there's a flat above and neighbours next door. Being on the ground floor it was also very pleasantly cool which was especially welcome as it was an extremely hot week. It's lovely being so close to the sea and hearing the waves, and there are walks with beautiful views in both directions from the apartment. The drawback is that it's on a very steep hill and, if you come by car, you can't park outside or very nearby. We decided not to pay for a week's parking permit and instead parked, for free, in a road not too far away (Park Road) and this worked well for us. Another difficulty, (but this might be due to our ineptitude with such things!) was that we found the keysafe very difficult to open. On arrival we almost gave up trying after numerous failed attempts but then, miraculously, it opened! But no such luck when we left so we posted the key back through the letterbox instead. We've found keysafes tricky at times previously but have never before been unable to open one eventually. But, notwithstanding these issues, we loved the apartment and its location (in spite of the climb!) and wouldn't hesitate to return.

  • "Just right for couples."

    The facilities were good and very clean, with a thoughtful welcome pack as well. Very central to all the amenities that Ventnor has to offer, and only a few short yards to and from the promenade, all be it, up and down a very steep hill. But that’s Ventnor for you. People with severe mobility issues may find the access to the accommodation a challenge. Not withstanding this, we had a wonderful week and if we were returning to the Island, we would have no hesitation in rebooking ‘Seaside’. Regards, Robert.

  • "We really enjoyed our week’s stay in this property which is located close to the seafront of Ventnor and was an ideal base for exploring the island."

    We found the property clean, well maintained and comfortable. The premises are very well equipped with a en-suite, great kitchen/diner/lounge. The welcome pack could have included more information about the property and instructions for all appliances. Parking in not permitted outside the premises but is available in the nearby carpark. We purchased a 7 day parking permit giving unlimited parking at a cost of £52.90. The property is located on a steep hill and there are steps down into the property which did not bother us but it would be difficult for anyone with limited mobility.

  • "Superb apartment for a couple; very clean and everything you could need including a fan, hairdryer, airer and cleaning products etc."

    Delightfully decorated with a sea view and literally a few meters from the sea front. Would not be suitable for someone with limited mobility as there are a few steep steps down to the front door. We paid for a tourist parking permit for seven days and found this to be really convenient, especially when travelling around the island. You just use the code given on the parking machine. Usually parked at the car park above the Spyglass Inn if no space along the seafront, a very short walk away. Would recommend Seaside, fabulous location.

  • ""Seaside" is a beautiful apartment, spacious, comfortable, very well equipped and ideally placed for the beach and town."

    Although less than 50 yards from the prom, the apartment was peaceful with very few persons or traffic passing the door as it is situated in a no-through road. Whilst sitting at the breakfast bar you can see the sea and can also hear the waves breaking from the bedroom at night. Two bus routes stop within a 5 minute walk one of which runs every 30 minutes (with a night service at the weekend) so "Seaside" is ideal for those who do not have their own transport. There are walks from the doorstep towards Bonchurch in one direction - a flat, easy walk, and Steephill Cove in the other direction - an undulating walk along the coastal footpath. Penny was helpful and welcoming and I would recommend a stay at "Seaside" without reservation.

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!
