This is a great property - well equipped, superb location (walking distance to the beach & coastal path if you are willing to brave the steep slope!) with amazing views from virtually every room. Ventor is a lovely picturesque town and the house is well placed to explore the town and island. Thoroughly recommend! ...

One of the loveliest places we've stayed on the island - gorgeous views from almost every window despite having poor weather. Very clean and is well-equipped for 8 people (we were a party of 4). Felt very roomy with lots of storage, nice to have 2 separate lounge areas. Balcony was our favourite aspect, comfy lounger chairs and spent the evenings watching the ships (under a blanket!) Walkable to Ventnor beach and the gardens. Easy to park once we found the space (at the bottom of the garden which is technically on another road!) Garden has different levels with a couple of drops - would need to be cautious with a toddler and the steep incline of the garden might be difficult for those with mobility issues as was quite slippery underfoot. Beautiful outside area though and lovely benches, fruit trees and even lizards! Friendly homeowner. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, thank you. ...

A very special house which is in a fantastic location. The panoramic sea views are really stunning! The garden is absolutely beautiful. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. It’s the perfect place for a holiday and within easy reach of many of the island’s attractions. We would love to return....

Perfect base for a family holiday with one of the best views on the island.

The house is immaculate, and sits in the most stunning location looking out over the sea. I don't think the photos do it justice. I'm sort of tempted to keep this place a secret, so we can stay there again, but the owner Richard was so friendly and helpful with his recommendations and local knowledge, it wouldn't be fair to keep it to myself! The house sits high up above Ventnor and has fabulous gardens on both sides, which my children really enjoyed. There is a lovely area outside for BBQ-ing and dining and the balcony off the living room is perfect for watching the moon come up over the sea. I saw shooting stars one night! The bedrooms are comfortable and well appointed, the views from the rooms are just amazing. It's tricky in these Covid times to find good eateries that are actually open at the moment, so do your research before you go and book restaurants. Personal fave is Pavarottis in Shanklin for real Italian food. There's a nice fish place on Ventnor seafront - Smoking Lobster - which gets really booked, and we couldn't get a table even trying to book one week ahead. If you decide to stay in and eat at the house, its well equipped with everything you need... except for a coffee machine! I should have packed mine, but there is a coffee filter jug instead if you need it. Amazing week we had here, we definitely plan to go back. Huge thanks to the owner for helping us have a fantastic holiday in his home....
