About this cottage rental

Jan Dee Cottage has been lovingly refurbished.

It affords spectacular sea views across the English Channel which can be enjoyed from most of the rooms and sleep 6 guests. This charming cottage comprises of bright and spacious open plan living: lounge, dining room, a contemporary and well-equipped kitchen, family bathroom, double bedroom with ensuite shower, bunk bedroom and twin room with french doors leading to the balcony. Bi-folding doors from the kitchen leads to the patio and garden area with seating.

Jan Dee cottage is situated in a quiet location in Ventnor and yet is just a 5 minute walk from the town centre and Wheelers Bay seafront. Parking is on road and there is a free public car park in Wheelers Bay (conditions apply and subject to availability), accessed via Wheelers Bay Road.

This Victorian seaside town offers buildings full of character and is one of the sunniest spots on the Island. There's lovely sand/shingle beach and an esplanade which is all within a short stroll from the cottage. 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 its theatre, its concerts and comedy and dance shows. The renowned Ventnor Haven Fishery at the marina sells the daily catch of fresh fish and seafood; boat trips are also available from here.

There are a number of great restaurants in Ventnor or if you fancy a take-away to enjoy by the beach, the Ventnor Haven Fishery on the Esplanade sell fantastic fish & chips, locally caught and prepared to order.

Ventnor Botanic Garden 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!

From Wheelers Bay you can take the level walk, along the sea wall to Bonchurch, or walk along to the esplanade which leads to the cliff path where you can walk towards Steephill Cove, a beautiful sheltered bay only accessed by foot.

We loved Jan Dee cottage. While it's not particularly prepossessing from the road, inside it's been beautifully modernised and opens onto a back garden and a bedroom balcony looking out to sea. Handy for Ventnor (which is delightful), the beach and great cliff top walks. It was also a very generous cottage - the owners mentioned it was their own holiday home, and it felt like they really wanted to share it with others. Fantastic for kitchen equipment, and the bedrooms were charming, but note that while it sleeps six, the third bedroom has a bunk bed and is therefore more suitable for children. Would strongly recommend.

A really thoughtfully equipped and comfortable home with gorgeous sea views. The beds are really high quality and the state of decor and cleanliness really top rate. I particularly appreciated that a large cupboard in the kitchen is left empty for guests' food - so many holiday properties have every cupboard full of equipment and nowhere to store food other than the fridge. A lovely welcome basket with treats for all the family and plenty of good-sized towels. Minor points for improvement - the description of the house listing could be more detailed especially with respect to what equipment might be available in the kitchen. The shower in the main bathroom was very difficult to use for washing long hair - could be improved if a bracket for the handheld hose could be fitted at head height (or as high as the hose will reach)

Jan Dee cottage is in a lovely location on the IOW. The house is by far the cleanest property we have ever stayed in - absolutely immaculate. The layout of the property is perfect for children (ours are 5 and 7) and they were happy staying in the bunk room. The cottage is well equipped and everything we needed was there. The location is excellent for exploring the island - pretty much everywhere we went to was within a 30 min drive. We would really recommend the fossil hunting tours at Brook. Even in the week when mostly the tide was high in the middle of the day there was lots to explore. We didn’t get everyone done that we wanted to in 5 days. Parking for the cottage is in the nearby car park - this worked fine for us. The little cafe on the seafront straight down from the car park is worth a visit too. We enjoyed several takeaways delivered to the cottage - dominos from shanklin, Indian and Chinese locally - all super quick delivery times of less than 45 mins. The only thing to note is that in the town there is minimal Vodafone or EE signal - didn’t bother us as we were on holiday! We all could have happily stayed for another week and will aim to return again!

Lovely cottage. Beautifully refurbished and spotless. Location and access by car very challenging, but there is nothing that the owners can do about that.

Jan dee is a beautiful cottage with amazing views. It was a home from home. The welcome treats were a nice suprise on arrival. Loved all the extras such as parasols, buckets and spades and inflatables. It's location is perfect and only a short walk to the beach and the local shops. The only minor issue was no storage in the bunk bed room, but as we only stayed a week this was manageable. Would definitely book here again.
