Property code: IC065

Brimming with charm, this striking stone and flint property is ideally situated in the Victorian coastal town of Ventnor. Sleeping six guests across three bedrooms, this homely escape is perfect for families or small groups of friends holidaying with their favourite canine companion. Beach-loving pups will delight in scrambling over rocks and crashing through waves on the dog-friendly shores of Steephill Cove (1.5 miles), before curling up for an afternoon snooze in the roar of the wood burner.

Set over four floors, this delightful seaside property boasts a spacious interior. Enjoy wooden textures, bright social spaces, and sweeping sea views. Unravel outer layers and towel off sandy paws in the gothic-style entrance. Pad into the lounge and flop down onto the plush sofa to graze through a nibble board. Throw another log on the wood burner to chase away the winter chill then set the mood with a crowd-pleasing playlist on the music system. Step into the airy dining space and slide onto the leather chairs to enjoy a feast with all the pack. Venturing downstairs, sneak a treat to your hungry hound in the kitchen then freshen up any sandy doggy gear in the utility area. Upstairs, indulge in a restorative evening soak in the claw-foot tub before turning in for the night. Choose from a spacious king-size with sea views, an elegant king-size, and a twin. Outside, discover an abundance of coastal paths and hidden coves for dewy morning walkies.

Embark on a saunter along the rugged coast to glimpse the towering structure of St Catherine’s Lighthouse (5 miles). Set Fido’s senses alight as you sniff out the tropical plants of Ventor Botanic Garden (1.5 miles) then perch on an outdoor terrace in Ventor Haven (1 mile) and admire the fisherman’s boats bobbing in the harbour. ?

This property was lovely. Great views of the sea from the bedroom, well equipped, and the best power shower! Parking was a little tricky but this is stated in the advert. Very lovely cottage, would stay again

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 property is on four floors with some steep steps but 3 yr old and 9yr old got up and down them fine yes, property does lead out onto main road but, with careful crossing wasn't an issue.

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

We really enjoyed our 4 days in the Isle of Wight. First time we had been in 21years! The house was lovely, spotlessly clean, lots of quality furniture and plenty of all the necessary items, Mollymimi-our Dachshund, was very happy with her dog treats!! Will definitely be back again.

The cottage was clean, it's close to a bus stop which makes getting around easy. However because it is right by the roadside the traffic does interrupt sleep. One of the beds needs replacing other than that great views and walking up and down Ventnor hills are gorgeous.

In dire need of tlc! Bathroom great but the rest quite poor. Not suitable for children, pets or over 60s. Really steep walk to town and parking difficult. More than 3/4 people would be falling over each other.
