About Ventnor
The Guardian says:
"The place is a delight: the beaches are clean and sandy,the shops independent and thriving, the countryside steep and downy - ripe for blustery walks - the cafés, pubs and restaurants good, and there's a self-contained community spirit. The place feels apart from the Isle of Wight, let alone the UK. I tell you, if I had any inheritance, this is where I'd buy my little hideaway. "

The Telegraph says:
"Ventnor finds its va-va-voom...With the same micro-climate that attracted Victorian writers, aristocrats and convalescents to the Isle of Wight, the rich history, architecture, scenery, food and live music scenes, means there’s plenty to fill a weekend... "

The Independent says:
"A special hat-trick on a special island, the countryside is lush, green and as unspoiled as Dorset must have been 30 years ago. The short-cropped downland in particular is exquisite: I stood on Bonchurch Down above Ventnor and watched Adonis blue butterflies flutter about my feet"

The World Travel Guide says:
"Ventnor, Isle of Wight...its hippest resort is Victorian Ventnor, with its dramatic cascade of terraces down a cliff, sheltered beach, and boho cutting-edge shops and restaurants."
