About this property

Englefield - a bungalow that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Englefield is located in Ventnor, which is situated on south coast of the island positioned above Bonchurch on the eastern fringe.

This chalet bungalow has 2 double bedrooms, twin bedroom, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, lounge and sunroom with a large bay window with fantastic sea views.

At the front of the house, there is a car parking bay (for one car) and a stunning terrace where you can soak up the spectacular seascape and to the rear, there is a beautifully maintained garden that leads onto downland.

Situated on the outskirts of Ventnor, Bonchurch is a beautiful village, nestling on the side of St Boniface down, leading down to the sea. The seafront has a safe shingle/sand beach with rock pools, ideal for children. From the shore you can take a level walk along the revetment towards Ventnor, passing Wheelers Bay and ending in the harbour where you can purchase the catch of the day. In the village itself is a large wildlife pond, home to ducks, herons and carp, surrounded by trees and plants and floodlit at night, this is a magical place to sit and relax. For dining out within the village The Bonchurch Inn offers excellent cuisine.

Old St Boniface Church in Bonchurch dates from the 11th century, with the bell cote dating from the 16th century as does the bell. The south porch was added in the 19th century. It was replaced by St. Boniface Church in 1848. After the new church was built the old church went into a long sleep and wasn't used for decades.

The Victorian town of Ventnor benefits from a main shopping street, with a range of shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs. The Esplanade has a crescent shaped sand and shingle beach and a small harbour, where fresh seafood can be purchased. There are several cafes and pubs; the popular ‘Spyglass Inn' enjoys outstanding sea views and family entertainment. The Smoking Lobster with its Asian seafood fusion food is a great place to relax and enjoy the superb views across the English Channel. Alternatively stroll along the Cliff Path to the famous Ventnor Botanical Gardens and down towards the picturesque Steephill Cove with its delightful seafood restaurants, whilst admiring the magnificent coastal scenery.

There are a number of great restaurants in Ventnor including Tramezzini, The Bistro, Smoking Lobster, Tour du Monde and Cantina along with Chinese and Indian restaurants and fish and chip shops. Many of the cafes provide take-aways.

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 serving local produce, and Café on-site for refreshments; lunch or coffee and cake!

Please note that the access to Englefield involves a number of steps and a sloped pathway so may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.

A home from home with a view
A spacious bungalow with a huge front view of the sea and a rear view of the Downs. On a bus route if you dont want to drive each day, and within a short walk or drive to Bonchurch Inn where we had a lovely meal. A little old fashioned in some of its fittings , but this added to its charm for us and we have never stayed in a self cater which provided so much in the way of those small but helpful bits and pieces. Beautiful walks on the doorstep. Accessibility good apart from a slope up to the property, take it steady if mobility issues.

Great stay at Englefield
The best part of staying at Englefield was the view, uninterrupted sea views were perfect. These view meant that the house was up some steep steps and a steep path, it was ok for us but others with mobility problems might find this difficult. The house itself was very nice and the most has been made with the use of space, this did mean that the downstairs loo and bathroom were small as was the kitchen although well stocked with everything you need to comfortably be able to cook proper meals. We loved the lazy susan on the dining room table. The beds were what you expect in a holiday house, mattresses were a little hard but for some that is probably fine. The duvets on the beds were too thick for summer months (even this summer!) It would be good if alternatives were provided like a thinner quilt because the bed shams were not suitable. The house contained interesting but rather too many (for my liking) nik naks which need to be dusted to avoid the odd cobwebs being missed. Overall we spent a lovely week at Englefield.

Fantastic Property
I've rented holiday homes on the island for many years and thisnis absolutely my favourite. It's a great size for 6 people, perfect location to head any direction on the island and has stunning views. As an added bonus, the host had baked a lovely cake for us and left a pint of milk so we could make a brew. Great touch! Have rebooked for next year already!

Lovely accommodation, wonderful views.
Englefield is the perfect place for a self-catering holiday on the Isle of Wight. The accommodation is superb and regularly updated (we have stayed there for several holidays) and has everything you need for a lovely, relaxing break. The bungalow overlooks the sea and we spend a long time identifying the many boats that sail past. The town of Ventnor is just a walk away, with several good places to eat. Bonchurch Inn is close by and the food there is excellent.
