The view out to the sea was really nice. Things to do plenty- and lot of fun for all the family. The lookout is a really nice Idea- enjoyed sitting there at nighttime with a glass of wine, watching the moonlight dancing on the sea. Cooking was a bit of a challenge as the cooker is really weak on power- and the mattress upstairs bedroom could be changed. Any little problems could be communicated with the ownerâs which are very friendly. We also really enjoyed lots of hikes- starting from the cottage.

It is close to all amenities. The coastal path and beach is five minutes walk away..For children the property had lots of things to entertain them including a putting Green, a football goal, table tennis.badminton net and a play park. The outside seating area was nice which had barbecue with all the coals and equipment provided.The property owners were very friendly and helpful. We couldnât have wished for a better place to stay.

We really enjoyed it. Location is brilliant, setup fantastic, quality of the accomodation was very high, setting was bliss. Ventnor is a delightful town. Only real downside is the beds could have been better. I've returned with a sore back.
