Littlehaven

Ventnor sits on the Isle of Wight's south coast, a working town with independent shops, restaurants and beach access. Littlehaven is a ground-floor annexe just outside it, close enough to reach by foot or an immediate bus stop. The property sleeps four: a double bed and single bed in the bedroom, plus a sofa bed in the open-plan living space. One bathroom serves the whole place. The kitchen has what you need to cook properly—electric cooker, microwave, fridge and washing machine—and there is a breakfast area to eat in. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included; there is also parking for one car on site.

The real draw is the outdoor space. A decked balcony overlooks the garden with patio and furniture for sitting out. The garden opens onto the Downs with access to walking routes across the higher ground. Nearby cliff-top paths offer views along the coast, and cycling is possible on quieter routes around the island. Ventnor Botanical Gardens is a short trip away. Families will find beaches within reasonable reach, and various boat trips and excursions run from different points on the island. One small dog is welcome. The property does not permit smoking.
