Minor but you had to go through the second bedroom to get to the third bedroom but not a problem for us for a few days.

Amazing location (few minutes into Ventnor and maybe 10 max to the seafront and easy to get east or west on the island) and a lovely place to stay.

We had some issues with the hot water from the shower, but after few attempts, we discovered that by open the hot tap in the lavatory, the pressure created, was also feeding properly the shower water pressure, so all of us had a hot shower!! Maybe it would require the plumber to check?

Centrally located with a short walk to the beach, restaurants, supermarkets and antiques shops. For those coming with public transportation, it's closed to the bus stop! Parking space was convenient in front of the cottage, to accomodate two cars. The cottage is exquisitely decorated, and the kitchen is well equipped and spacious, good for chats and enjoying your meals! What we adored though was the sunny room and the outdoor space, where we enjoyed long chats, laughs and good wine! Neighbour is welcoming and even if the road is close to the cottage, during the night there was absolute silence even with the open windows. We haven't had the time to enjoy the up-backyard space, where there is also a convenient barbecue equipment and an amazing view to the sea! For winter season there is a comfortable sofa area with a fireplace! Excellent wifi - very well clean - very spacious for 5 adults Overall it was simply perfect, all of us loved it! [9 smiles, only for the issue with the shower]

Excellent location, comfortable beds,and a well equipped kitchen. The property has a character, a lovely garden, and all things that are required for a relaxing seaside break.

We loved everything.

Located in the heart of the village short walking distance to the beach with cristal-clear water. A local restaurant on the way to the cost treated us to a delicious meal. Tesco Express is round the corner, too. Very cosy cottage with prestigeous look, unique layout and private parking. Communication with the locely owner was flawless and we really enjoyed being there, even if if that was only for one night!

If the other rooms were refreshed in line with the sun lounge, it would feel brighter and more up to date- but then it is very old, and it would probably cost more! We had the misfortune that on our last night, sometime during the night, one of the trip switches tripped, with most of the lights and a lot of the sockets not working, and the trip wouldn’t reset. We coped fine, as we found a socket to use the hairdryer, and living in old houses ourselves, we know that the electrical circuits can sometimes cause problems. The owner got back to me and was lovely, tho as we were leaving, any fixes happened after we left.

Lobster cottage is quirky and very old- which means steep steps and higgeldy-piggeldy rooms. The first lounge is very dark, but we mainly used the sun lounge which was bright and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom was fine. The beds were comfortable, and tho very central, it was quiet. Parking was great, it’s good to literally park outside the door.

Beautiful characterful place to stay right in the heart of Ventnor though it feels like a lovely quiet oasis. Everything was spotless on arrival and we had everything we needed. We had a warm welcome from the lady getting it ready for us too and ready contact with the owner to welcome us

If this was my house I’d renovate the bathroom and kitchen, I’d do some thorough cleaning, plastering and painting and I’d fix all the doors (none is fitting). But that would be for permanent living because that is how unique this cottage is. For a short stay it is just amazing with all of it’s quirks and features.

What an amazing house! Old, very old, and very interesting on the inside. Way bigger then to be expected from the outside. Amazing location.

due to my mum being disabled we couldn’t get her up into the garden as this is accessed by the second floor in the house.

the property was lovely and really well equipped.

The only negative was the power of the shower.

Location perfect! The cottage had history galore and was quirky and interesting. The owner was charming and efficient when contacted. It was wonderful.

Garden was very dangerous - opened straight onto the roof of the property and was only accessed through a bedroom. Not very suitable for dogs or children.

Fabulous location. Lovely little cottage. Had everything we needed. Very enjoyable stay and excellent value for money.

Stairs

Good location Cosy

Stayed in June 2021

The Bathroom had black mould around the bath. The stairs were difficult to navigate (there should have been a warning) it took ages to open the key safe as we were given four different numbers. There was a lot of stuff stored in corners all over the cottage which made the place not very welcoming.

The kitchen and the dining room were nice. It was warm enough.
