The nearby town of Ventnor (2.5 miles) is on the seafront and has plenty of eateries, shops and attractions to explore – including botanical gardens and two museums.

Had a fantastic stay at this wonderful property. Clean and tidy, kitchen well stocked and a lovely lounge area. The king bed is very comfortable. The dining area is cozy, so be prepared to not plan for a feast if five people staying for dinner. Learn how to reverse park efficiently before you arrive. Road is quite and not a nuisance

Our comments would only cement what a beautiful property you have here....If I give my honest opinion you will end up fully-booked for the next 10 years and I wish to return ......therefore I will leave the curious guessing and let them decide for themselves.

A lovely cottage in the village of Whitwell, we explored the island from coast to coast from the location. The accommodation was clean and well equipped with a nice patio area with a table and chairs.

The Old School House is in a perfect location for exploring and the local pub is excellent (they will even do you a take away if you ask nicely). The house was perfect for us as a couple. It will sleep 5 most comfortably but there is only seating for 3 in the lounge and 4 at the table. The driveway is extremely tight to get onto but just enough spaRead morece for 1 car with a confident driver. We had a couple of issues but the owner was very responsive and dealt with it promptly. We enjoyed our stay. Hide

Great location for exploring Ventnor and getting to our favourite beach at Compton Bay. Quirky and characterful accommodation with a nice little garden and deck.

A very pleasant property in a convenient location. We always stay in the South so Whitwell is an ideal location to travel to and from across the Island. The School House has everything one needs for a break on the Isle of Wight. Off street parking, comfortable fittings, smart TVs, good WiFi/Broadband, an equipped kitchen and a secure rear garden.).Read more The owner is really helpful and obtainable for any issues or queries; they provide all info required and left a lovely welcome pack for us.

Great location with convenience of lovely pub. Although parking, was really for a confident driver as a very tight squeeze. Kitchen is dated, peeling in places where veneered, some doors loose. Be aware very thin walls with property next door.
