Overview
Property code: LEESO

Characterful holiday home situated in an elevated position with outstanding sea views. Backing onto St Boniface Downs, this property is perfectly located to explore the island and for finding its hidden gems.

Featuring tasteful accommodation for up to eight guests, this is a wonderful holiday home for a group of friends or a larger family looking to enjoy the stunning beaches and countryside near the Victorian resort of Ventnor. Enjoying fantastic views across the village and out to sea, this is a delightful getaway in glorious surroundings.

On entering the property, you will find a cosy lounge which is ideal for relaxing in front of the open fire after a long day exploring. You will also find a charming kitchen/diner which is perfect for preparing your favourite meals, grabbing a snack or sitting round the breakfast table by the woodburner to plan the day. Family meals can be celebrated in the attractive formal dining room which offers a beautiful sea view and has been stylishly decorated and furnished. There are four bedrooms including a ground-floor twin bedroom with 2ft 6 beds.

Very comfortable and cosy house, just a stones throw away from good walks, the seafront and pubs. We had everything we needed for a lovely holiday! I'd especially recommend the Bonchurch Inn for dinner, and the lovely coastal path walk into Shanklin.

We had a really splendid week in the house and on the island - the weather was great for us too. The house is so well provided for in terms of cutlery, chinaware and items in the kitchen it was so easy to enjoy. The beds were really comfortable, so we slept well too - in the lovely large rooms. All of us had an enjoyable stay and we all said that wRead moree would like to return maybe next year or the year after. Hide

Leeson House is a beautiful, spacious house, quirky and full of charm well equipped and comfortable perfect for relaxing after exploring the Island. The hidden patio is a real gem, a sun trap with stunning views over Ventnor and out to sea.

We really liked this house. It is very spacious, plenty of soft seating plus kitchen and dining room for eating in. I found the hill to the house quite steep as we don't have a car, but there is enough room off road for two cars. Has sea views and also, woodland to the rear which is accessible. There is also the 'ww2 radar station' to the rear of tRead morehe house, but it is a very steep walk. It is a 10 minute walk into Ventnor, but is on a regular bus route. Good access to all areas of the Island. Hide

The cottage was spacious and well stocked. There is not much parking space, two cars maximum. Internet service was poor and didnt allow for streaming devices which wasnt ideal for the young adults in the group. The cottage is in an ideal location to explore the island.

A lovely rustic house. Really nice rooms, all a great size, high ceilings, log burners, we stayed 5 adults and 2 young children and all had a great time! Drive really only for 2 cars and a bit dodgy getting in and out. House smelt a bit musty when we first went in but that soon cleared once we got settled. Lovely beds, very clean. Would recommend.
