Bayview is a quiet haven from the pressures of modern life with fine views over Ventnor's harbour and blue flag beach, which are only two minutes walk away - a walk that takes you alongside Ventnor's renowned Cascade Gardens and there's freshly caught fish, crab and lobster available daily from the harbour fishery when you get there. The shops in the town are even closer. The apartment is on a private road with a dedicated parking space directly outside.

This modern and comfortable apartment has two bedrooms, a double and a twin, and sleeps up to four people. The light and airy living, dining and kitchen area is at the front of the building overlooking the sea and the double bedroom has a view of the highest point of the island, St Boniface Down immediately behind the town. Bayview has been recently renovated and is the top floor of historic "Millers Rock", a converted Victorian period villa in one of the best know streets in the town, Alexandra Gardens, which stands on the site of the original Ventnor Mill and Pond, dating back at least as far as 1300.

Within ten minutes walk there are numerous pubs, cafes, bars and restaurants. These include the only Michelin starred restaurant on the island, the Hambrough, about 100 yards away, the Royal Hotel which has two AA Rosettes for its food, and the Spyglass Inn known for its fine ales, and waterfront location.

Spectacular coastal walks can also be enjoyed from here, to Bonchurch, the undercliff and Shanklin in the east and to the lovely Steephill Cove and the renowned Botanical Gardens to the West. Outdoor pursuits include walking, cycling, riding, golf and water sports.

Ventnor is a charming Victorian spa town built on the sheltered undercliff on the Isle of Wight's south coast and dominated by the island's highest point, St Boniface Down. Known to the Victorians as "England's Madeira", the town is noted for its sunny summers and mild winters.

Bayview is available as a holiday cottage let all year round - for whole weeks in season and for short or weekend breaks and whole weeks outside the main season.
