Gills Cliff House – a Ventnor 5-star Boutique Experience on the Isle of Wight

Gills Cliff House Ventnor Isle of Wight


This beautiful house on the Isle of Wight was built in 1850, and is in an enviable position, high on the hill overlooking Ventnor Park and with panoramic views over the English Channel. Most of the bedrooms, as well as the ground floor rooms, have floor to ceiling windows to fully appreciate the view. The windows in the living and dining rooms open to access an al fresco dining terrace – imagine family breakfasts or sunset drinks on the expansive decked terrace with the most amazing vista in all directions.

Although in a quiet location, Gills Cliff House is only a short walk to the town’s array of quirky shops and the beach, as well as the many and varied excellent eating and drinking establishments which are increasingly putting Ventnor on the map. Buses from the town centre for Backgang and Newport stop only 20 yards from the house.

Designed for families, with four bedrooms sleeping seven, including a spectacular master loft suite and a fully enclosed garden for the children, Gills Cliff is the perfect setting for multi-generational reunions. The loft suite, on the second floor, enjoys particularly fine views as well as having its own en-suite bathroom. There’s off-street parking for one car (or two smaller cars) but there is easily available on-street parking for several more cars within 50 yards of the house.

The dining terrace at the rear of the house has a large outside dining table with benches and chairs.   There are also sun loungers to fully take advantage of this sun-trap.  Steps lead down to a fully enclosed garden which is mostly grassed.

This property is thoughtfully equipped with everything you will need to make this a “home from home” setting for a lively family holiday or somewhere for a group of friends to chill, getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life – though with free WiFi there’s still the opportunity to keep in touch.  Click here for more details of Gills Cliff House, room by room.

Ventnor is a charming Victorian coastal 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 built on terraces tumbling down to the sea and is noted for its sunny summers and mild winters.
