The Potting Shed
“Unique, peaceful and special hideaway. The takeaway meals and local beer were fabulous. Free access to Botanic Gardens when quiet was perfect for spotting red squirrels and lizards. Lovely short walk to a local cove and Ventnor beach.”
Colin Sept 2023
“Very special holiday home set in Botanical gardens with 24hrs access to gardens. Dog and children adored it. Steephill Cove is a fabulous beach and wonderful walk along costal path to Spyglass Inn at Ventnor.”
Mr P Ball.
