Ventnor Hotel Guide - Isle of Wight Owl and Falconry Centre hotels in Ventnor, United Kingdom.

"Excellent location, friendly staff and superb good. "

"We recently stayed at The Ocean View Hotel from 13th–15th February and unfortunately were very disappointed with our experience. We chose this hotel specifically because of the facilities advertised on the website, including a swimming pool, bar, coffee shop, evening dining, jazz club with cocktail bar, and the daily “Happy Hour” promotion. These amenities were a major factor in booking what we hoped would be a relaxing weekend break. However, on arrival—and throughout our stay—we discovered that the swimming pool, bar, coffee shop, and evening dining were all closed. There had been no prior notice of these closures on the website or in our booking confirmation email. To make matters more frustrating, there were posters displayed around the hotel advertising “Happy Hour” from 4–6pm daily, despite the bar not being open. Breakfast was also an additional charge, and while convenient, we found that far better quality and more reasonably priced breakfast options were available just a short walk away in the town centre. The lack of communication felt misleading, as the facilities advertised were simply not available. Had we known in advance, we would likely have chosen alternative accommodation. While the stay itself may suit guests who only require a room, (if you don’t mind a bed without a headboard), we feel the hotel should be transparent about which amenities are operational. Clear and accurate information would help manage expectations and avoid disappointment. "

"Found the room quite claustrophobic with a very small bathroom and basin in bedroom. No food available as I was the only guest staying. Staff were very nice. Do not think I will stay there again. "

"Dawn was amazing help with our stay at such a fantastic place and beautiful location!THANKS x"

"Lovely and clean and very homely "

"Lovely well appointed house with generous welcome hamper filled with local foods and drink. Soaps and shampoos etc in the bathrooms and cloakroom. Lots to see and do in the local area and our host was superb, communicating well and greeting us the first evening to show us the ropes. A wonderful stay in all respects."

"We enjoyed the garden and were allowed to pick fresh plums, apples,tomatoes & figs. Our old dog also enjoyed the garden but I would have been more relaxed if there had been a barrier between the cottage and the busy main road."

"Great for large inter generational family holiday. Tennis court and pool brilliant. House not too precious that we worried about the smaller ones"

"Positives: Lovely place. We went as a family of five. It was deceptively spacious, the photos did not do the kitchen & living space justice, as we had an expectation that it would be a very small flat. It was very large and all the bedrooms had so much space. It goes without saying that the view was stunning, and the property had everything you needed. I was so happy to have access to the hoover to be able to clean up after my kids and put a wash load on before coming home.. much to my husband’s disapproval!! it was immaculately decorated and felt like a real home, rather than an empty soulless property. whilst Ventnor itself is a little rundown and outdated, where this property is located, you have some nice coffee shops & restaurants. We had dinner at all 4 of the restaurants, walking distance from home and were very pleased. Negatives: the main bedroom has a feather duvet, and it was so hot to sleep under. I would recommend bringing a thin double duvet if you come in the summer. I’m sure it’s lovely and cozy in the winter! The bunkbed mattresses were awful. It was like laying on a bed of springs, to the point where when I stripped the bed, the sheet was caught on one of the springs which was sticking out of the mattress! Would recommend replacing these. Very uncomfortable for anyone over the age of 3.Not a host issue but an app issue, VRBO has different check-in times. Host sent us the wrong key code,the old cleaner helped us access the key. "
