This was my second visit to bishops retreat, having been there in April 2023 for a girly weekend.
This time I have brought the hubby and kids to show them the delightful property as well as the delights of both the Isle of Wight and ventnor itself! The island has so much to offer. We highly recommend west wight alpacas and llama walking, off the rails cafe just outside Yarmouth, the needles landmark attraction, donkey sanctuary (free entry but donations warmly welcomed), garlic farm, the gin distillery (has good grub), Besty and spinkyâs, the spyglass inn for its amazing views, masala bay has amazing Indian food and my personal favourite a walk along the coastal path to steep hill cove and the botanical gardens. We have had two fabulous days on the beach in the glorious sunshine (rather different to my rather wet 2023 experience!). And now to the host Holly, what can I say, exceptional hospitality, helpfulness and from Prosecco on arrival (and milk!!) to donkey sanctuary biscuits and leaving body boards, buckets and spades out, to treating us to an icecream from the amazing crave (opposite tescos) for being return guests, we have been made to feel so welcome and I feel like I have know Holly for years!! The kids also were thrilled to have access to the Disney channel for a movie night and throughly enjoyed the big nickel bath tub, as did I with a glass of bubbles! Some people might be put off by having no dedicated parking but Iâve easily found a spot on both of my trips and the bus is the best way to travel around and see the sites anyway! Totally 5* thank you and see you again next time!

I stayed here for a few days and immediately wished I'd booked for longer.
The cottage is beautiful. I loved the layout and the decoration was very welcoming to make one feel 'at home'. We had absolutely everything we needed within the cottage and it was easy to find. The welcome pack of information was very helpful - we went to the cafe recommended for breakfast with the best coffee and weren't disappointed! They also advertised the local Indian restaurant which we were so pleased with. One staff member in particular took a shine to our baby girl which made the experience so lovely with fantastic customer service throughout and gorgeous food. The cottage is in a great location with just a short walk down hill to the beach and pool type area. We loved that it was more quiet where we were with the option to walk a little bit further to the busier area of the beach. Ventnor is a great place to stay - we thoroughly enjoyed exploring and will be back again so explore more and hope the cottage is available for us to stay in when we do! Suzanne the owner, was very easy to get in touch with and was so helpful letting us know an event going on and the parking situation. Thank you so much for a lovely and regrettably short stay in your lovely cottage. We felt so welcome and relaxed and enjoyed the garden area in the sun, it was so peaceful. Added bonus of having netflix and prime available for settling down in the evening with a glass of wine! Thank you again for a wonderful experience

I cannot recommend this property strongly enough.
It is very central in Ventnor with supermarkets. chemists and pubs literally. 2 minutesâ walk away. 5 more minutes takes you along Pier street to the breathtaking spectacle overlooking Ventnor Bay and the unbroken horizon of the Channel . I visited in early January and the property couldnât have been cosier. The gas central heating was quick and efficient, It is controlled with a portable device so you can start it off in the morning from your bed. Very handy! Thereâs also a very efficient electric log effect fire in the lounge. To the rear there is access to a charming area of decking with nice views of the Church and Ventnorâs subtropical palms . In January it felt a little like Madeira! Out of season thereâs loads of free parking 5 minutes away on Park Avenue. I also commend the owner whom i contacted when I managed to confuse the heating controller. She was very patient with me and tried to solve it for me but then asked a handyman to pay a visit. He was there in minutes and was polite and helpful and didnât point out it was all my fault! So if you want a central well-equipped home in Ventnor, 1 Tulse Hill is the place to be! Fantastic! I forgot to mention the great wi-fi, comfy beds, en-suite bathroom, quiet neighbours and two loos!

5 ladies came for a stress free weekend for a 40th birthday!
Blown away by the stylish decor but more importantly by the warm welcome and hospitality of Holly (and cleaner Tracey!). Nothing was too much trouble and so accommodating! Walking Llamas and Alpacas in the rain was something we will never forget and so much fun thanks to West Wight Alpacas! The challenging but beautiful coastal (not all coastal) walk from Ventnor to Shanklin was a highlight and was finished off with a lovely sandwich at Pencil Cottage (highly recommended)! Plus the bus service back to Ventnor for our aching feet meant we saw even more stunning views from up high on our return. Swimming in the freezing cold sea being watching by onlookers from the infamous Spyglass Inn made it even funnier! Garlic bread with cheese at the Garlic farm is a must and the IOW gin distillery is worth a visit and purchase or two! Ventnor itself has many pubs, lovely little shops and places to eat, there is even live music along the esplanade in the afternoon/evening bringing a lovely atmosphere. The IOW has so much to offer everyone. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Holly and Bishops Retreat to anyone! Thank you Holly From Amy, Cat, Beth, Jenny and Collette x

Very clean, super spacious, well located & so peaceful. Comfortable seating, excellent beds & linens, quality crockery, great internet speed, masses of storage, quick/efficient heating, gorgeous hamper on arrival & generally top-notch across the board. The only drawbacks were the very tight, rocky driveway on exiting the property which scratched our wheel. This beautiful house is ideal for families, but not quite equipped for family-sized cars. We also had an issue with lack of hot water in the ground floor en suite shower which our elderly parents were using. However, the housekeeper was very quick to respond & offered to bring in a plumber to look at it. It would have been amazing if the TV upstairs was connected for broadcast rather than just gaming, as it was a lovely space to sit & just chill out. Totally recommended if you want everything for a relaxing stay in one place.
