A delightful two bedroom apartment nestled on the outskirts of the bustling town of Ventnor, this apartment is ideally placed to not only explore the delights of this vibrant seaside town, with its local bars and restaurants and the island's southernmost holiday beach, but some of the other tourists destinations that are a little further afield from Shanklin to Freshwater Bay. If you're more of a chilled-out visitor, then the apartment is well equipped; from enjoying a game of chess to reading a book on the apartment's balcony.

On arrival, you instantly feel how charming this apartment is, from the footbridge style gravel path that leads you to the front door. Once inside you are welcomed into an inviting, peaceful and lovingly maintained property. Both bedrooms can be found leading off from the hallway. The master bedroom with super-king size bed is a bright and airy, stylish space, with en-suite shower room, with twin beds in the second bedroom boasting its own en-suite shower room. Wonderful sea views can be enjoyed along the front of the apartment from the kitchen window to the balcony off of the sitting room. The kitchen is well-equipped with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher; the washing machine can also be found here along with the dining table which is large enough to seat your whole group. This apartment's sitting room is the most fantastic setting, complete with TV, DVD and Xbox; many a holiday gathering can be enjoyed here.

Head out onto the apartment's balcony through the patio doors to truly appreciate amazing sea views. Panoramic vistas of the water can be enjoyed from here - why not take the opportunity to sit out and enjoy a cup of coffee at the break of dawn, or take in the sunset with a chilled glass of wine; this aspect is ever changing, with no two day's sights being the same. Limited on street parking with a public car park 0.4 miles away.

Fabulous spacious apartment with home from home comforts and the balcony creates the wow factor. Great location & although no dedicated parking, there was never a problem with parking on the road close to the property.

Gilmerton is a beautiful and comfortable apartment with amazing sea views from the living room, kitchen and of course the balcony. I felt at home as soon as I arrived. There are lots of characterful touches, relevant books and artwork which enhance the apartment and give it a personal feel. The kitchen is well equipped and there is everything you mRead moreight need to self cater and the king size bed is very comfortable. The apartment is easy walking distance to the town centre and esplanade, where there are a number of great restaurants to choose from. Also an easy stroll away heading in the opposite direction upon leaving the apartment is the village of Bonchurch. Bonchurch has a great village pub that serves really good food at a decent price. Also there is an 11th century church, a pottery and access to the coast path that leads you back to Ventnor. Although there is only street parking, I found a space on the road without problem and I used the car most days to explore the island. When I had a query during my stay I was able to contact the owner easily and he was very happy to help. I had a very enjoyable holiday and would definitely stay at Gilmerton again. Hide

Beautiful and comfortable home, well equipped and made the most of the balcony/bi-fold doors!! Great location for getting around the island! Whilst no dedicated parking had no problems finding a space close to the house.

Super cottage in a beautiful location. The cottage has everything you need for your stay and is very clean and full of interesting nick nacks and lots of interesting books on the local area. Ventnor has a lovely small beach with a wonderful pub serving lovely food. The location is a half hour drive from anywhere on the island. The only issue is parRead moreking is very limited and the local road is very narrow. Hide

Perfect location to explore the whole island. Stunning views from the cottage. Has a very homely feel because of the decor and the range of items to use /read and enjoy looking at. Superbly equipped kitchen for 4 adults. In fact all facilities were excellent and very clean. Will definitely come again!

Couldnt recommend this apartment highly enough. It was very spacious and very well equipped with lots of handy surfaces to plonk things on! And of course the cute south facing balcony overlooking the sea for coffee or breakfast was a treat. Handy little corner shop a couple of mins walk away and only a few more mins walk into the centre of Ventnor.Read more Parking outside but in much demand! We used the double decker buses to get round the island so left the car there. Hide
