Overview
Property code: IC065

Ventnor is a delightful small seaside resort with a range of interesting shops, excellent restaurants, public houses, wine bars and charming gardens. It has a secluded beach where you can enjoy swimming, paddling and fishing, and fresh fish can be purchased daily from the harbour. The location is renowned for its microclimate which allows exotic species of plants to grow and a number of these can be seen in the renowned Botanic Garden. There is a lovely coastal walk linking Ventnor with Shanklin and there are many beautiful walks further inland. The larger sandy beaches of Sandown and Shanklin are just a short drive away, and you can also enjoy such hidden gems as Bonchurch and Steephill Cove.

Our stay was just what we needed ,the house is very comfortable . I was pleased there was a table and chairs in the kitchen as it it difficult to climb up the stairs with a hot meal in your hands. The beds are comfortable so sleeping was easy. Beautiful bathroom .Parking was a problem some days as like everywhere on the island, but managed to park Read morein walking distant. I should have read about the amount of stairs but we managed. Hide

Huish house is impressive. Full of character with lots of interesting original features, although not suitable for small children or people with mobility problems. Maybe we were just lucky but we had no problems with parking. Parked 50 yards away on arrival and then directly opposite the house for the rest of the week. There is a bus stop very closRead moree by with regular buses. We went to two lovely dog friendly cafes in Ventnor (Shells and Two Cooks) and can recommend both. Hide

Not suitable for young children or people with mobility issues as there is a lot of stairs which are quite narrow, also as there is no outside space the property opens straight on to the busy main road and there is not a pathway on the same side as the property, this also makes it difficult for dogs. Parking outside the property or in the immediateRead more vicinity was impossible, therefore unloading when we arrived and loading when we left proved difficult. Hide

Lovely views from the house and house very comfortable. It is a very tall house so a lot of stairs to get up to the bedroom so kept us fit. The only issue was lack of any outdoor space and straight onto a busy road which was a bit of an isdue for the dog. Would definitely recommend.

Well-equipped and nicely refurbished property with sea view (and plenty of stairs!) and in a lovely seaside town. Parking was challenging and the hills very steep but overall we had a brilliant family holiday with The Needles, Carisbrooke Castle, Osborne House and beach days as highlights.

The very poor quality of this accommodation didn't completely spoil our Christmas break, but it nearly did. We accessed the property on Christmas Eve at 5 pm. We found a cold, damp house, no starter pack for the wood burner, no Christmas decorations. We understand that not everyone celebrates Christmas, correspondence on this issue would have been Read moreappreciated. Huish House is desperately in need of attention - in terms of property maintenance and decoration. Hide
