Lovely family holiday home in sunny Ventnor
This is our family holiday home ideally situated between the pretty village of Bonchurch and the Victorian seaside resort of Ventnor.

There is a huge sun terrace on the first floor, a sun room/living room on the ground floor and a large south facing garden. A playhouse to meet every child's dream is a popular feature with younger families. An outdoor table tennis table to keep older ones amused.
