Totally charming quirky accommodation, the most comfy bed, quiet with a lovely 10 minute stroll to the centre of Ventnor. Met the owners who were just lovely and helpful. Stayed for a week and would definitely come back There is no tea,sugar,coffee,washing up liquid, salt and only 2 toilets rolls and 2 trash bags so you will have to go shopping as Read moresoon as you get there which is recommended the owners add to the accommodation.

Characterful, quirky property in a lovely location! Comfy bed, small galley kitchen, Sky Tv and wi-fi all good. Bathroom facilities perhaps not so suitable for older people with mobility issues. Good value for money.

Location was perfect and the owner was very pleasant. The only downside was the cleanliness of the house. Dusty and had cob webs. Roof tends to be leaking in corner. Windows very drafty and cottage can get quite cold. The boiler was not on when we arrived hence a very cold house greeted us. The cover on our Bed was stained. The toilet curtain over Read moreback door is very stained and kitchen curtain. Pity about the cleanliness of the property as the location was perfect. But don't think we return. Hide

Loved our relaxing stay and exploring all the quirky items. Very comfy bed and the little garden is lovely for outside meals and reading. Nice and close to Ventnor and Steephill Cove and right next to the park. We didnt see the owners during our stay but everything was straightforward.

Kitchen needs salt and pepper, sharp knives for preparation, new scouring pads, an identifiable recycling system. There is a potential safety risk where the gas hob is directly beneath the electrical sockets and heating timer. Self catering of this calibre should have a washing machine. It would benefit from a fixed shower attachment over the bath Read morewith appropriate curtain. The upholstery and cushions need cleaning. The Sky Box timer fails to record advanced programmes. Settee is uncomfortable. Hide

Would not recommend accommodation, which is a shame as position is very good and possibilities to improve endless. .Whole place needs thorough overhaul, (being careful not to spoil the quirkiness of the cottage.) Very little provided - no soap, washing up liquid , scourer, oven gloves or even a few tea bags.

Lovely location, near to botanical gardens. Nice walk through park to spyglass pub and ventnor beach. Walked to shanklin on coastal path and to Niton to The Bugle inn. The cottage has loads of character, plenty of room for two. Loved it.

An excellent retreat, quiet and secluded, but close to the Esplanade and town centre and to the coastal path, so good for walkers. Generous sized bath to relax after the walk. Comfortable and elegant furnishings. Very high standard.
