About

A comfortable and cosy Grade 2 listed cottage, with private off-street parking, just a couple of minutes’ walk from Ventnor town centre and around ten minutes to Ventnor's sand and shingle beach. The cottage is ideally placed as a base to explore the island on foot, two-wheels or by car. 

Sensitively refurbished and fully equipped, India Cottage boasts an delightful terraced garden with splendid views over Ventnor Bay and the Victorian townscape. You’re bound to unwind and relax, whether alfresco dining, catching the sun or just enjoying a drink whilst watching the world pass by.

Built in the 1850's and Grade 2 listed, the cottage has some quirky features both inside and out giving it both special charm and real character. On the ground floor there is a well-equipped kitchen with round table seating for four. The kitchen has all the mod-cons needed including, microwave, gas cooker, fridge-freezer, full-sized dishwasher and Nespresso machine. Also on this floor the cosy lounge, with a modern comfortable ‘L’ shaped sofa, bespoke pine furniture and Freesat/Sky TV and Firestick.

Upstairs is the master bedroom with comfy king-size bed and door into the ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom (shared with bedroom two). Bedroom two with a sea view can either be configured as two full-width single beds or a spacious zip’n’link super-king.

Also upstairs is the back-door leading up to the lower ‘beachcomber’ themed terrace. This lower terrace has a comfy summer day-sofa and undercover food-prep area with fridge. Up from the lower terrace is a small mid-terrace with mosaic café-style table and chairs for two.

Continuing up you discover the lovely top-terrace, this has superb sea views across Ventnor’s Victorian townscape. Whether sunbathing in the comfortable loungers or dining alfresco at the French café-style table, you are bound to spend time up here relaxing, watching the boats go past. In the evening the solar lights come on, making it magical place to have a drink before retiring to bed.

NB: Please note India Cottage does have steep stairs inside and very steep steps outside, therefore it is not suitable for young children (under 10) or guests with impaired mobility. India Cottage is dog-friendly and has a fenced exercise area available on request.
