Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Ventnor

A civil parish situated on the coast of the Isle of Wight, Ventnor is a place that is both gorgeous and truly unique. Sheltered by the chalk downs of the magnificent St. Boniface Down, Ventnor has an advantage – protected by the cliffs, Ventnor sees more sunshine and warmth than its surrounding areas. This difference means that certain tropical plants can be grown in Ventnor, which the colourful Ventnor Botanical Garden boasts. Rent a cosy holiday cottage in Ventnor with your loved one or friends and enjoy all this magical place has to offer. Admire the waterfall at the Cascade Gardens, and walk its full length from the town to the beach. Once there, you can go for a refreshing dip or go bathing, always surrounded by natural views. There are many charming independent shops in town – spend an afternoon digging through antiques and finding souvenirs.

Once a small fishing settlement, Ventnor soon grew into a Victorian seaside resort, seeing flocks of people come for the excellent air and water – even Charles Dickens lived in Ventnor for a spell! The elegant Ventnor Towers Hotel still stands from that era, nestled between luscious greenery. Ventnor Park also offers thriving wildlife, ideal for a sunny afternoon stroll with your partner. Visit one of many welcoming pubs, such as The Spyglass Inn, and just a few minutes' walk from the seafront. Keep your eyes peeled for locally-brewed beverages, as the ales made at the Ventnor Brewery use water from the St. Boniface Well. A yearly Fringe Festival takes place in Ventnor, filled with creative acts and entertainment for all ages. Alternatively, there is a traditional carnival each year in August, giving you an authentic taste of Ventnor's life. Ventnor has remained a Cornish gem and seaside resort for over a century after its establishment and promises to this day to leave all visitors with smiling faces.
