About this property

The Overlook - a house that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

The Overlook has been architect designed and has breathtaking sea views across the English Channel. There are two large double bedrooms, both with en-suite showers and doors opening onto a separate balcony facing south and looking out to sea. There is a further twin bedroom, and a family bathroom. The open plan living area is accessed down some internal steps and benefits form patio doors leading to a second large terrace with table and seating. The Overlook has been furnished to a high standard and benefits from ample off road parking.

It is situated only a few minutes' walk from the centre of Ventnor, a Victorian seaside town with buildings full of character. In addition to the main shopping street where you will find a selection of small supermarkets to include a Co-op and Tesco Express, there are parks and gardens, museums and the Winter Gardens - an entertainment venue with a growing reputation for theatre, concerts, comedy and dance shows and of course the restaurant/bar.

There are a number of great restaurants in Ventnor including Cantina, The Ale & Oyster, and the Smoking Lobster to name a few. The famous Spyglass pub sits right on the sea, and there are some great tea and coffee shops and Lady Scarlett's Tea Parlour (complete with 1940's theming) are favourites. Or if you fancy a take-away to enjoy by the beach, the Ventnor Haven Fishery on The Esplanade sell fantastic fish & chips, locally caught and prepared to order.

Ventnor Botanic Garden lies in the remarkable microclimate at the heart of the famous 'Undercliff.' This unique garden is protected from the cold northerly winds by chalk downs. In addition to enjoying the lovely gardens, it also hosts events and exhibitions and there is a restaurant and Café on-site for refreshments; lunch or coffee and cake!

From The Esplanade you can take the level walk, along the sea wall to Bonchurch, or walk along the cliff path towards Steephill Cove, a beautiful sheltered bay only accessed by foot.

Limitations: Children over 7 years old only

Perfect for sea views and sunsets.

Overlook is comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Steps from lounge are major trip hazard and shower trays too. This was mentioned in visitors book many times.

Fab house for a week on the Island

The property was light and airy. We loved the space and open plan area and the outside areas. Everything had been done to a high spec, the kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms were good with powerful showers.

We had a good week at the Overlook. The accommodation was to a high standard with lovely views and plenty of balconies to enjoy. We had mixed weather but on the warm sunny days it's just nice to relax outside on one of the chairs or sun loungers. The bedrooms were lovely and spacious and the family bathroom, the bath was fab. Some shelves in the showers might be a useful idea ? The kitchen was well equipped although we took a while to work out how to use some of the built in appliances. The coffee maker was a great idea although hadn't been cleaned before we arrived. We made use of the washing machine and tumble dryer but, again, found the filter for the tumble dryer to be fairly clogged with dust/fabric. One bit I was a bit disappointed in was, after travelling to get there, it would have been a nice thought to leave a "welcome pack" with some milk and tea/coffee. Just a small niggle but would have meant not having to find a local shop after unpacking. Otherwise, a really good holiday home and one I'd consider using again. Would recommend

Stunning property and views.

When you walk into The Overlook, it certainly delivers the Wow Factor. The huge windows, offering panoramic views, simply blew us all away. Overall, the accommodation is excellent. It is immaculately clean (apart from the pillows, which unfortunately were heavily stained). It is very comfortable and well equipped. It offers everything you need for a family holiday or a group of friends. We stayed as a group of six. There is enough space so that you can spread out and have some privacy, or get together in the comfortable lounge or large dining area. There are even three well furnished sun terraces to sit out on and enjoy those views. One couple reported that the bed in the second room was too firm, but everyone else found the beds to be very comfy. We did have a few equipment failures during our stay. The dish washer leaked and couldn't be used. The Washing machine would only wash in steaming hot water. The boiler went into fault mode on our last day. These things can happen so we did not stress over it. However, the response from the maintenance team was disappointing, in that nobody came to fix any of these issues, despite the first two being reported on Wednesday. I am informed that these issues were all being looked at and steps taken to improve the response. Overall though, we had a wonderful holiday at The Overlook and we have booked to go again next year. I can't wait!
