Loved this charming holiday home. Spacious comfy rooms very nicely furnished, well equipped relaxing house and garden. Quiet location with delightful walks from the house. The driveway is indeed narrow. There was a problem with the drains that I expect will be fixed by the time you read this.

The location of the house is lovely, as is Ventnor. Both the owner and the caretaker responded promptly to my requests and questions, and kept in touch and updated us of any changes. The driveway access to the house (and parking) is quite challenging and I don't think could accommodate more than two cars.

A beautiful house situated in a magical garden in the most beautiful part of the Island. An easy walk into Vetnor along the coast with some brilliant food and drink spots to explore. The house was perfect for two families, loads of space, fully stocked and a really authentic vibe. We were slightly worried about the driveway but managed to park two Read morecars without too much hassle. Id highly recommend and we cant wait to return x Hide

We all loved the house and garden, it was a very comfortable house to stay in, great location with plenty to do within walking distance. Would recommend The SpyGlass Inn in Ventnor and the delicious ice cream!

We had such a fantastic week at the house with our friends and children. The layout downstairs worked perfectly for us with the snug room for the children to play in and the main living room we kept for the adults. The location was perfect with everything we needed in walking distance which was ideal with lots of us. Thanks very much!

Lovely, characterful house and quirky, artistic decor. Beautiful gardens. The driveway needs to be widened, as it was very narrow and awkward to negotiate. The shower had very slow drainage and on first use it was going to overtop the shower tray. We phoned the contact person, who sorted it out the next day. However, these are minor quibbles and weRead more really enjoyed our holiday with 3 generations in wonderful spacioius house and lovely gardens. Hide

Beautiful, peaceful setting with a view of the downs behind and a lovely garden to enjoy. It's easy walking distance to the town, the seafront. Ventnor Botanic Gardens and nearby Steephill Cove as well as the Downs (for the fitter!) so we could enjoy the holiday with minimal use of the car. We love it here!
