Positioned in the centre of Ventnor, a beautiful Victorian, coastal town in the Isle of Wight is 1 Tulse Hill Cottages, a delightful, two-bedroom dwelling. Just paces away from a whole host of eateries, the beach, shops, and great transport links, whilst enjoying a country-style interior, and a rear, decked garden, the cottage welcomes four guests and two furry companions, offering the ideal base for a family break near an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Unload your luggage on the roadside, before parking up in one of the two nearby public car parks, or hopping off the bus, before taking a short walk to the cottage, firstly entering the dining room, where you can enjoy formal meals as a group. Continue through to the lovely sitting room, featuring plush seating, a Smart TV with DVD, and an electric log burner style fire, offering the perfect setting to unwind and settle into your break. The kitchen is well-equipped with a range of appliances to ease your self-catered stay, where you can rustle up delicious meals, before dining alfresco upon the sunny elevated decked area. When sleep calls, select between a double and a twin room, both with Jack-and-Jill access into the sleek shower room. Come morning, stock up on the essentials at one of the nearby convenience stores, or stroll to Toni's cafe, on Ventnor beach for coffee and croissant. For lunch or evening meal, plan to dine out at Cantina, the Drunken Lobster, the Spyglass inn, or one of many other great nearby pubs and restaurants, or stroll to the harbour and buy some locally caught fresh seafood. Before heading to the beach, practise your swing at the local golf club, tour the Ventnor Heritage Museum, or ramble through the Ventnor Botanic Garden, dotted with exotic plans and pretty blooms, or enjoy one of the many coastal walks. Within proximity you'll also reach the magnificent grounds of Appuldurcombe House, Devil's Chimney, a breath-taking vantage point, and Amazon World Zoo, a family favourite, among many others nearby. Towards Newport, enjoy a tour of Carisbrooke Castle, discover the Monkey Haven - Primate Rescue Centre, or brush up on your local knowledge at the Museum of Island History, whilst Cowes offers a delightful coastal setting, where you can follow the Red Squirrel Trail, to reach the harbour. Experience all of this at 1 Tulse Hill Cottages.

At the southernmost point of the island, the small Victorian beach town of Ventnor is reachable through a number of winding, hilly roads that are surrounded by stunning landscape. This picturesque hamlet, which is protected by St. Boniface Down, one of the island's highest points and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, has a very warm microclimate that encourages the growth of exotic and tropical flora all over the place. While the harbour provides a wide variety of fresh fish and locally caught seafood, the gently sloping sandy and fine shingle beaches and coves give good facilities for watersports and offer a variety of breath-taking coastal routes to explore. With a good selection of top-notch eateries, bistros, bars, and stores along the esplanade and close to the town centre, Ventnor is one of the Isle of Wight's most prominent dining destinations.
