Very comfortable - would stay again
Super friendly staff. Lovely room, very well prepared with all the facilities I'd want in a B&B room. Comfortable bed. The blinds in the room needed a bit of TLC... (they closed - which is the main thing!) Fabulous breakfast. Every choice you could ask for. Even my 14 year-old liked the outside play area.

Great place in the middle of nowhere
We were confused by the location as we expected it to be in the town of ventnor and it was actually in a tiny village 3.5 miles outside (still called ventnor). The place was lovely. Their restaurant, which looked lovely, was closed that evening. We walked for 20min to reach the buddle inn which was the only nearby place to get food other than a pizza place. Buses run about every 2 hours. We had an excellent night's sleep in a very comfortable unscented bed. The walk in shower and giant bath tub were in a luxurious bathroom. Full english breakfast was scrumptious.
