About this property
A studio apartment, close to the beach, located in the village of Ventnor. This neatly presented accommodation is laced with charm and makes a lovely setting for couples to enjoy a romantic getaway. Walk down the steps and wander inside, where you will find a far reaching open plan sitting room. You can sit back and watch TV on the comfortable sofa or dine overlooking sea views. A couple of steps take you to the well equipped kitchen with a grey finish, accompanied by a breakfast bar where you can enjoy a coffee in the morning. Joining the layout, a relaxing double bedroom sweeps across from this, the perfect space to unwind.
A shower room completes the accommodation. Outside is where you will want to be. Victorian architecture surrounds you, and a beach lies almost on your doorstep - you can take a stroll whatever time of day you wish to. The seaside resort of Ventnor provides great walking and cycling opportunities, being on the Isle of Wight coastal path. The beautiful Botanical Gardens are well worth a visit and just a short drive away. Seaside is a wonderful cottage which can be enjoyed throughout the year.
The Victorian seaside resort of Ventnor is located at the southern end of the island and accessed via an array of steep winding roads set amidst scenery. Sheltered by St. Boniface Down, one of the island's highest points and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this town has a mild micro climate. A good variety of shops, pubs, cafe's and restaurants line the esplanade, whilst the Botanical Gardens are within easy reach.

Excellent apartment.Everything you need for a comfortable stay.Very steep hill but only a short way up.Proximity to seafront couldnât be better. We bought a weekly parking pass and parked in big car park behind Spyglass Pub. Pass can be used for most of the rest of the Islands car parks but look it up on website as a different code has to be used.

Great for us and we are a couple in our 70's but the steep incline up to the property will not suit those with any walking difficulties. It's about 30 steps up the hill from the promenade, which makes it very well situated. Parking will be difficult at peak times, although the long stay behind the excellent Spyglass Inn (about 200 yards) seems always to have space. The parking currently costs £2 for an overnight stay. If you were to park up all day allow at least another £10 - a bugbear of ours. The property is ok for two and well presented. This was our second visit and we expect to be back!
