About this property

Baltija - a bungalow that sleeps 6 guests in 4 bedrooms

Baltija is a four bedroom bungalow situated in the undercliff of St Lawrence, located at the southernmost tip of the Isle of Wight, enjoying southern views with glimpses of the sea and a sunny mini microclimate. The property is located at the end of a quiet road with no passing traffic enabling you to enjoy the peace and beautiful surroundings in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in this part of the island.

The property accommodates 6 guests and is comfortably furnished with two double and single bedrooms, family bathroom and separate shower room, fully fitted kitchen and open plan lounge/diner. The bungalow also benefits from a large garden mainly laid to lawn at the front with a further grassed area to rear and a large rockery. There is a decked outdoor seating area at the front of the property and another seating area at the top of a rockery on the east side of the front garden. There is also plenty of parking.

From the bungalow you can take a pleasant stroll (10 – 15 minutes) along the footpath to Woody Bay. A 10 minute drive will take you into 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.

On the way to Ventnor town you will pass Steephill Cove where you will find a cafe and restaurant among the handful of cottages nestled behind this beautiful sandy beach. Unfortunately, most of the beach disappears during high-tide, however, during low-tide, there are numerous rock-pools for the kids to search. Ventnor Botanic Garden which 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 Cafe on-site for refreshments; lunch or coffee and cake!

Dated but comfortable

A large property that has not had much updating since it was built. Well equipped and most things worked well, although I suspect it might have taken an entire day to run a bath! Pleasant grounds. Would be a very economical place for a large family

A lovely family holiday home.

Baltija was a comfortable holiday home that was ideal for our 3 generation family holiday. A little dated in decor but very clean and well equipped. The bedrooms were spacious with comfy beds and nice quality bed linen & towels. A few more electric sockets would have been handy in the bedrooms, but we purchased an adapter which solved the problem. The bathrooms were very clean and served their purpose. The showers were not particularly powerful but again served their purpose. The lounge & dining area was very spacious with enough seating for all and a lovely outlook onto the garden and beyond (sea view!) Our grandson used the high chair and that was very handy! The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything and more that we required during our stay. We only used the outside decking area a couple of times but if the weather had been warmer in the evenings we would have used more! The bungalow is a little dated in decor but it didn’t affect our holiday. Overall we all really enjoyed our stay in this lovely quiet location and it was a great base to visit the many lovely places on the IOW. Thank you!

Needs a Bit of Updating and EV Owners Beware

The property was generally OK, quite clean and with relatively new kitchen appliances, but in need of some re-decoration and, on balance, rather expensive for its location and state of repair (see later). My main complaint however is that with 2 weeks to go to my holiday start date I was emailed by Island Holiday Homes and given a unilateral instruction that I was not allowed to top up my electric car on the property while staying there. There was no discussion or consultation on this, nor any indication they would be ok with top up charging if I paid an extra charge. I usually rent 2 or 3 holiday cottages per year and this is the first such restriction I have seen. I realise power costs are increasing but a top up charge would only have used approx 40kw or charge - say £15 - and I would have been happy to pay this. Instead I was forced to make a 2 hour trip to Tesco Extra/McDonalds near Ryde, on the other side of the island, to charge my car. I have also been advised that this last minute change to the holiday let was an illegal change to the contract and I would have been within my rights to cancel the let without charge if there had been time to do so. I would not have rented the property had this restriction been shown when I first made my booking via Cottages.com. I am not seeking any payback or compensation but I do feel that if a property is advertised on several sites then all those sites need to show the same details and restrictions and it is not acceptable to change those terms of contract unilaterally on just the one site. I must also say that the state of some of the property decoration, very, very low hot water pressure/flow in the bathroom (it took 20 minutes to part fill a bath each night for my Granddaughters to have a bath!) and the property having a selection of old dvds but an out of order DVD player meant I would not recommend it as a value for money holiday hire for other families.

3rd Visit

For us this has been the best property we’ve found on the island. The Undercliff is a beautiful, quiet area well placed for visiting the rest of the island. The coastal path close to the bungalow has excellent views. A very comfortable, spacious place.

Peace and tranquility

If you are looking for a relaxing place to spend a week or two, Baltija will certainly provide that. I have stayed at this property for several years, if you like walking there is plenty to choose from in the area, coastal or cliffs, I can recommend High Hat, where you can pick up the path from Seven Sisters Road, it’s a steep climb up but you will be rewarded with magnificent views.
