Castle Cottage is very attractively situated within a pleasant ten minute stroll of the beach of Ventnor and the quiet cove of Steephill. At the rear of the cottage is Ventnor Park and paths lead through these lovely gardens to the Esplanade. These gardens also adjoin the Botanical Garden of Ventnor which is renowned for its mild climate and rare plants.
Castle Cottage is one of a small group of cottages which have been converted from what was originally the stables of Steephill Castle - this used to be only a short distance away. A wonderful clock tower still stands above the cottages. Castle Cottage has recently been renovated with great care to provide very attractive and comfortable accommodation for 3 people. It has been furnished and equipped to a high standard and is centrally heated. All the accommodation in the cottage is on the ground floor apart from the pretty single galleried bedroom which is approached by a staircase leading up from the sitting room. There are glimpses of the sea from this bedroom which is on a mezzanine level. On the ground floor there is a lovely spacious open plan sitting room with a feature fire place, attractive sofa and chairs, colour television with DVD and Sky. There is a pleasant dining area and a modern fitted kitchen equipped with an electric oven and gas hob, microwave, refrigerator with freezer section, and washing machine. The pretty double bedroom has French doors which open directly into the garden and an en-suite shower room with W.C. There is an additional bathroom on the ground floor which has a bath, W.C and basin. A delightful conservatory with attractive Victorian tiles provides a very pleasant place to sit and relax. Heating and electricity at no extra charge. WiFi available.
The cottage has a sunny south facing walled garden. Garden furniture is provided so that meals can be enjoyed outside. There is a private courtyard at the front of the cottages and a car can be parked beside Castle Cottage. Shops, restaurants, a public house and telephone -10 minutes walk. Regular bus service - 1 minutes walk. This links with Shanklin railway station for Ryde ferry and trains to London.
