Fabulous 7 night stay at Gilmerton. The cottage had everything - a real home from home. Lovely comfy beds and sofas. Smart TV. Lovely little balcony with plenty of deckchairs provided. Walking distance to Ventnor centre - could easily manage without a car as bus service very good.

Gilmerton is a fabulous place to stay. A spotlessly clean and airy Appartment. It is deceptively spacious apartment, with all the facilities one could wish for. Wonderful sea views from the living room and kitchen, with a fabulous terrace to sit and take it all in. Definitely recommended

Gorgeous and very comfortable apartment with everything you need and more. We were still finding things on the day we were leaving that we couldve used. The views are incredible and a lovely short walk away from the charming town of Ventnor. There were only a couple of times we couldnt find parking straight away ( waited a few minutes) and only oncRead moree did we have to park in the car park at Wheelers Bay which is free and a very short walk away from the apartment. We will definitely return! Hide

Accommodation is exceptionally comfortable with many stylish accessories, which fitted the interior design. Lovely large rooms. The view from the kitchen and living room is spectacular. The balcony is an added bonus. Easy to walk into Ventnor or to the Esplanade. Several lovely local restaurants too, which are dog friendly.

A lovelly cottage in a great location. Very peacefull, well equiped and comfortable. Amazing views from the balcony and kitchen window. The cottage is very spacious, much bigger than it appears in the photos. Some reviews have mentioned parking being an issue, we never had a problem finding a space on the Madeira road closeby.
