The Isle of Wight region

The Isle of Wight is a county and the largest island of England, located in the English Channel, 3–5 miles (5–8 km) off the south coast of the county of Hampshire. The island is known for its natural beauty, its sailing and its resorts, which have been holiday destinations since Victorian times.

It was home to the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, and to Queen Victoria, who built her much loved summer residence and final home Osborne House here. It is home to the Isle of Wight International Jazz Festival, Bestival and the recently-revived Isle of Wight Festival, which, in 1970, was the largest rock music event ever held. The Island has some exceptional wildlife and is one of the richest locations of dinosaur fossils in Europe.

The Ventnor area

A Victorian town with a Mediterranean feel, Ventnor is one of the sunniest spots on the Island. Built on a series of terraces beneath St. Boniface Down the town's roads zigzag down to the sea past the beautifully planted cascades.

The seafront enjoys a surprisingly mild climate due to sheltering cliffs and southerly aspect. The Western Esplanade has a part sand, part fine shingle beach, good for sunbathing and swimming and adjacent to pubs, cafes, amusements, paddling pool and seafront car park.

Ventnor attractions include:
- Esplanade (beach, amusements, paddling pool, cafes, restaurants)
- Various coastal walks
- Organised boat trips
- Surfing & watersports
- Donkey Sanctuary
- Fishery & Yacht Haven
- Golf course
- IoW Studio Glass
- Maritime & smuggling museums
- Botanic Gardens & Park

“Great break !” We had a really good time staying in Seashells over Easter holiday. Perfect location, fantastic views from our apartment, great pubs and coffee places near by. The only disadvantage can be parking as there is only 2 spaces for 3 apartments. We were very lucky as one of the neighbours allowed us to park next to their property, otherwise we would have to leave the car by the sea front and that would be additional cost as from 1 st April parking is not free of charge.

“Sheer Relaxation” My Wife and I stayed at this wonderful flat after the New Year. Having stayed on the Isle of Wight previously, and particulary enjoying Ventnor, we knew this was the area we wanted to stay, and we were not disappointed! Getting here was no issue and getting inside the flat was easy, as clear instructions had previously been e-mailed by the owner. The flat is lovely and spacious, with ample room for the 2 of us. The view from the living room window is wonderful, with uninteruppted views accross the channel. Although very quiet in January (just as we like it; we've previously ventured here in peak season and parking can be difficult), the Spyglass Inn pub is open and is lterally a 2 minute walk away. This serves great food at sensible prices. Not that eating in was any hardship, as great cooking facilities are offered The only downside I would say would be parking. 2 spaces are offered for 3 - 4 flats, and is strictly on a 1st come, 1st served basis. This wasn't problem to us, as even when the spaces were occupied, parking on the sea front was available FOC. The only time I could see it being an issue is in the summer months when parking is at a premium We had a great week and will definately return again and would recommend this gem of a property to anyone

“Excellent Location and Nice Accomodation” The location and view from Seashells is excellent and highly recommended. The property itself has been nicely prepared and has good facilities. It's a wonderful location for a restful holiday. The seafront at Ventnor is great and there are a range of nice cafes and pubs. There are also some very good walks to be had. The main town centre is not far away and readily walkable (albeit up a steepish hill). Access to Seashells is via a steep (but short) side-road from the shore road. Seashells also has private parking which is a big plus in a popular location such as Ventnor. However, access to the parking space can be made difficult because of the parking habits of neighbours. However, for a small / medium sized car, this should not present a problem. Overall, I would strongly recommend Seashells as a quality holiday rental for a couple looking for a short-break or a more relaxing longer vacation.

“Sit back and enjoy the view........” An Autumnal break for my husband and I, and a re-visit to the Isle of Wight after our lovely holiday in May of this year when we stayed in Niton. This time we wanted - and got - a sea view...... This is a real gem...well appointed and kitted out, comfortable furniture, restful decor....and lovely to lie in bed in the morning with a cup of tea watching and listening to the ocean! Although we had a lot of rain during our stay, to sit on the balcony or in the lounge and watch the dogs playing pn the beach was a joy. Lovely walks, and an easy-ish walk into town for essentials! The Spyglass Inn nearby is superb for food and ambiance. Now the down side...we have a very large car, and although there is a designated parking space for the apartment, it is small with very little room to manoevre. Unfortunately, thoughtless neighbours park in such a way that on 3 occcasions we had to leave our car on the promenade at the bottom of the VERY VERY (and I do mean that!) steep hill.....husband not at all happy. I imagine this would be a nightmare place to park in season. For this reason only, we would not stay here again. two minor gripes...no non stick small frypan for omelettes, and no hairdryer supplied.....Otherwise, a very nice break.

“Good appartment with excellent sea views” Spacious and comfortable appartment well equipped, very close proximity to sea and town. Was not as clean as we would have liked and there is a potential issue with parking though we did not have any problems due to having only two spaces and three appartments. Balcony views were excellent where we enjoyed meals and drinks. Would have stayed again, but noticed it was being advertised for sale! Response: Seashells is always spotlessly clean ,as quoted in all other reviews ? It is the cheapest holiday accommodation on the Seafront ....and also has parking where others have none at all. The property is not on the Market and is taking bookings for 2013.

“MAGICAL - ROMANTIC GETAWAY!!!!” This rental was exactly as described on the web site and so much more. All the home comforts that you would ever need and it is the personal touches which makes the difference as you feel at home the minute you walk through the door. The decoration was lovely and clean. Very well equiped kitchen. Location couldn't be better as the views from the balcony were amazing - lovely to hear the sea. So relaxed and didn't want to leave and can't wait to come back again next year Lovely costal walks

“Beautifully relaxing break!” This was a truly relaxing break even with 3 children in tow. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. It's beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The views from the apartment are uninterrupted and I could never get tired of listening to the waves. Everyone we met in pubs, restaurants and cafes were very friendly and the sandy beach was a hit with everyone. While in Ventnor we visited the Zoo, Blackgang Chine and Robin Hill and all were great value for money and great fun. Morrisons was the closest big supermarket that we found which had everything that we needed. All in all a great holiday and we will definitely visit again.

“Excellent accommodation that ticks all the boxes” Everything we needed for a perfect stay in this clean, modern,comfortable, apartment. Good location overlooking the sea at the quiet end of the Esplanade. Despite intending to make good use of the excellent kitchen we succumbed to eating our evening meal out at 'The Metro' a friendly restaurant two minutes along the street; their good value-for-money tapas & mix and match dishes plus reasonable wine list were perfect. Plenty of other restaurants in town and lots of info. in the apartment on ideas for trips out; we particularly enjoyed the Botanic Gardens and Osborne House. Must add a warning to take care on the steps down to the apartment front door - especially if you've shared a bottle of the Metro's excellent Rioja!!
