The Hermitage Country House, Ventnor

The Hermitage is a nineteenth century manor house that nestles within its own grounds of about twelve acres of gardens and woods, situated on the top of St Catherine's Down at the southern point of the Island. The remote setting offers the ideal retreat for those wanting a restful, memorable break.

The gardens and grounds offer quiet seclusion and the setting is ideal for those who enjoy country walks. Footpaths abound in all directions and the top of the downs is National Trust land providing panoramic views across the Island.

A study on the first floor overlooking the gardens offers guests a selection of books and magazines as well as being an excellent vantage point to admire the flora and fauna.

Several public houses serving food are a short drive away and several Island restaurants are highly recommended.

All bedrooms are non-smoking, but ashtrays are provided on the patio. We regret we cannot accommodate children or pets.

Supplements apply if booking certain rooms. Book 3 nights or more and we will include the cost of your car and passenger ferry which represents a saving of up to £143.
