Guest Reviews

• Stenhouse (10/5): This was our first time on the island, we would love to return and cannot recommend Seawinds highly - Seawinds is a fantastic place to stay, the welcome pack and fresh fruit were a lovely personal touch and greatly appreciated. The owner was very friendly and checked in on us on our arrival, which made us feel extremely welcome. Also the dedicated parking space and outside area were a real bonus.
• Laura (9/5): - Seawinds is located in a beautiful area and is a great base for exploring the island. The owner was very friendly and checked in with us on arrival and departure to ensure everything was ok. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable with plenty of towels and essentials to help make for a great stay! If returning to the Isle of Wight, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
• Pam (10/5): Perfect accommodation - Everything was fantastic, so beautiful and also clean, perfect location. Lovely fruit bowl, milk and bread on arrival. Very comfy bed. Very spacious. Lovely water pressure. Could not have asked for more.
• Angela (10/5): Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect spot for our visit - Loved its location, perfect for our visit to family Very comfortable Really appreciated the breakfast supplies that were provided
• Anne S (10/5): - We love staying at Seawinds, a comfortable and well equipped apartment in a super location 😌 Close to the lovely Steephill Cove and within walking distance of Ventnor Town, with it's shops, pubs and restaurants accessed via a lovely walk across the Downs, fabulous Nothing to dislike
• Agnieszka (8/5): - Clean apartment, well equipped kitchen and helpful owners. The only criticism is the armchair in the living room which should have been retired a long time ago.
• Francis (8/5): Host very friendly, great welcome pack Excellent location - Good pre arrival info
• Mark (10/5): Seawinds Ventnor - highly recommended - Beautiful location just a short walk to the beaches. Upon arrival a welcome pack had been left for us with milk, bread, butter , fruit etc...a great touch after a long journey to be able to immediately grab a much needed cup of tea. Super clean accommodation that had everything you could need for your stay. There was an information pack on the coffee table detailing walks to the beach and places to eat. Nice little outside seating area for the warmer evenings - and apart from the cheerful whistling postman it's very very quiet there....just perfect. We were so glad we chose Seawinds, and we will definitely be booking another stay there soon. The only thing we didn't like was having to come home again!
• Sharon (9/5): We had a great week exploring the island - Great location for exploring the island. Very clean accommodation - very nice host All good
• Richard (9/5): -
• Crow (9/5): Great landlord; beautiful, well-appointed and spotlessly clean apartment 5 mins from Steephill Cove - perfect location for a short stroll to Steephill Cove to enjoy the quaint beachside cafes and a quiet bay for swimming. Easy walk into Ventnor along coast path, road or through the park Nothing!
• Nick (8/5): -
• Frances (8/5): Very kind an thoughful host - Quiet location Long distance to walk tobyses and shops
• Wilcockson (10/5): Lovely setting, very clean comfortable accommodation. Would thoroughly recommend for a couple. - Extremely comfortable, well equipped accommodation. Darren was so helpful and provided a lovely welcome pack. He was on hand for anything we needed.. The bed was very comfortable and the shower powerful. The setting of Seawinds is perfect for exploring the island and Steephill Cove is a very short 5-10 mins walk. Its a lovely walk to Ventnor from Steephill Cove and the Botanical Gardens is only a short walk away. Would thoroughly recommend. We would love to return. Nothing everything was lovely.
• trinamary (10/5): - Nice area to explore from lovely apartment everything you need for your stay. A lovely welcome pack to start you off.

• Kim (8/5): Very good -
• Davies (10/5): The best ever ! - The property was one of the best we have ever stayed at, Darren our host was fantastic and had provided a welcome pack with fresh fruit, bread and milk. Everything you need is provided, shampoo, soap, etc. highly recommended nothing, every thing was fantastic ! !

Very comfortable bed, great shower, comfortable lounge and kitchen with all the amenities. There is also a patio and car parking. Darren is a great host and he left lots of extras including fruit, milk and butter. N/A
• Nick (10/5): Second stay at Seawinds. - This was our second stay at Seawinds, and it was just as nice as the last. It's perfect for us. Great location, and the accommodation is lovely.
• Deryk (9/5): Superb -
• Lorna (10/5): Highly recommended - Perfect location, perfect for our needs, clean, tidy with a lovely landlord. Would highly recommend Parking was a bit of a tight space, but it wasn’t a problem.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Clive (8/5): Very good -
• David (10/5): Extremely enjoyable. - It was really excellent. All the rooms are beautifully decorated, everything works , it is very quiet ,very comfortable and totally relaxing. The host left us a basket of fruit, sourdough bread with milk and butter in the fridge. If you are having a stay in Ventnor look no further than Seawinds! There is nothing wrong about Seawinds- but we would not recommend the crab pasties at Steephill Cove!
• Matthew (10/5): Pleasant, relaxing and cosy annex - Rally nice location, flat and convenience. Was all very clean and even had Netflix. Road up can be a bit steep and my oldish car did not like it on the clutch. But there is a parking below in case if need.
• Susan (10/5): Perfect for a relaxing getaway - Cosy, homely, and well equipped. We had a lovely 3 night stay here. Out all day, then somewhere nice to come back to. We arrived to bread, milk, butter and a basket of fruit plus tea, coffee and sugar. In the bathroom was body lotion, soap and hair conditioner so take shower gel and shampoo. It was lovely and clean and the bedding and towels smelt amazing. It was well located for Ventnor. We left the car and walked along the cliff top to Ventnor than walked back as far as Steephill Cove (which I thought was a bit scruffy tbh). It is VERY hilly so be prepared for a.good workout! Thank you Darren for the dash to Tesco! And for being so welcoming. A minor, personal thing......the shower could have done with more oomph.
• Grant (9/5): Superb -
• John (8/5): Very enjoyable stay in a comfortable and pleasant flat - NA Nothing
• Dean (10/5): peaceful relaxing and very enjoyable - Beautiful place to stay all the home comforts and the owner was so accommodating cant wait to go back for a longer period of time. There was nothing not to like
• Fiona (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tina (10/5): One of the best properties we've ever stayed in. - Host left essentials for breakfast, lovely host welcoming, freshness of property. Couldn't get any public transport or taxi, so had to use car when going out.

Would definitely recommend and cannot wait to return!
• Denise (10/5): Fabulous apartment in an amazing location - Everything was perfect, the apartment was sensational, so well equipped and every detail had been thought about. The welcome pack was a lovely gesture which included a loaf of bread, a whole pack.of butter, marmalade, a bottle of milk and assorted fruit. The location was fabulous, a great 7 minute walk every morning took us to Steephill Cove which was just magical with three cafes to choose from, two opened at 10.00 am and one at 12.00. The crab pasties were amazing! The owner even text me to find out if there was anything he could help us with. There was nothing to dislike.
• Tina (10/5): Excellent would highly recommend - Everything Nothing
• Perry (8/5): We really enjoyed our stay and could see that the building was well maintained. - Exceptionally clean and very well appointed. I didn’t like the fact that Darren didn’t return any of my 3 calls on our day of arrival to help us locate the property. I’m afraid to say that,although when we found it the experience was excellent, the street side signage was poor. There was a lack of visible signage to help me find 1) which of the building in the lane was Seawinds and 2) where to park. More, larger and well positioned signs would have been a great help.
• Gary (10/5): Exceptional - Superbly equipped accommodation in beautiful, quiet surroundings. First class, friendly host. Nothing
• Peter (9/5): A lovely bolt hole - Lovely hideaway close to an enchanting little cove. Thanks for the little hamper ! Easy access to the cliff paths and a short walk into Ventnor. Steephill cove nearby has a couple of laid back cafes and a small sandy beach. Going home
• Marlene (10/5): We thoroughly enjoyed the property, location and lovely hosts. - Breakfast items supplied. Nothing to dislike, it was all good.
• Nick (10/5): Perfect stay - We really enjoyed our stay at Seawinds, everything was perfect. It's in a great location, just a short walk from Ventnor, and minutes away from Steep hill cove. Darren is a great guy, and a lovely host. The accommodation is well equipped to a high standard, and has everything you might need. As others have said, lovely to have a welcome pack of bread, butter, serial, milk, tea, coffee, and fruit... Seawinds is a cosy retreat, and a perfect base for exploring the island. We will be back next year, thank you Darren.
• Cheryl (10/5): Superb :) - A super apartment :) A real home from home property. Spotlessly clean and modern with everything provided for a very comfortable stay. Lovely hosts who very thoughtfully provided much appreciated ‘welcome goodies’. The bed was very comfortable .. loved the bedding. Lovely fluffy, plentiful towels. We have been visiting the IoW for 40+ years and this property is among the best. Perfect location, we love Ventnor, but nowhere is too far away on this lovely little island, especially with a car. We are familiar with the area, so we personally didn’t have any issues finding the property and, although up an incline, didn’t have any issues parking in the little private parking space outside the property. We look forward to returning :) Nothing !
• Vanda (10/5): Bliss - Everything was perfect. The Host made our stay wonderful and the apartment was immaculate
• Frank (8/5): IOW is a beautiful place to visit and this place makes an excellent base for the visit. - Super clean and lovely views. The host Darren was very nice and helpful. Milk, butter, bread and corn flakes were left for us which was a nice touch. Highly recommended Freeview tv was a bit limited, something with an opportunity to use apps from Netflix or Amazon prime would be useful
• Joe (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vladislava (10/5): An amazing place to stay! - The property is newly refurbished to a high standard, spotless clean, warm and comfortable. It has its own outdoor seating area and a little garden with a swing. Parking space is available too. Kitchen is fully equipped and we had tea, coffee, milk, bread, butter, cereals and fruit left for us. What a nice treat! Thank you. There is a hairdryer, iron and vacuum cleaner as well as some toiletries and many fluffy towels in the bathroom too. And if you have any problem, the owner of the property is very helpful and right there, living next door, but definitely not intrusive. Thank you for being such an amazing host! We would love to come back.
• Rob (10/5): Lovely, clean, self contained apartment close to a beach and 20 mins walk from Ventnor town. Excellent place to stay for - Clean, modern and well equipped. N/A
• Hayley (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic location, very cosy but also lots of natural light, excellent facilities, wonderful host. We had everything we needed and more! The whole place feel very well loved and homely. After days out, coming back to a nice warm apartment really was the cherry on the cake of our minibreak! Highly recommend!
• Mark (10/5): Perfect stay, location and host - Fabulous property, wonderful host, lovely welcome items.

• Aranu (10/5): Amazing Hosts,friendly population.extraordinarily beautiful sights. Felt like relocating to Ventnor. - Everything. Perfect Hosts. The most beautiful house. Well thought of decorations. Nil
• Gillian (9/5): Overall it was lovely, very relaxing, all mod cons and warm once i'd mastered the heating. - Got a little lost finding the property so i would say if there was more specific directions to locate the property as it is up a steep road and only a small sign to say where it was. I made a note it was where the lamppost with 3 balls was so easier to find. Its a minor thing but had i been travelling alone and it was dark would have been a little worried.
• Julie (10/5): Fabulous comfort - Very comfortable, well equipped, warm house including a welcome pack Loved everything
• Paulene (10/5): Everything we had hoped for and more . - Cosy, comfortable , well equipped and very clean . A lovely little garden area .
• Alan (9/5): Superb - Great location, quiet and peaceful. Fully equipped with everything you would need.10 minute or so walk to town or 5 minutes to the Botanical Gardens. Just that the pillows were a bit high and firm for my taste. But that's just me my wife loved them.
• Neil (10/5): My awesome stay in Seawinds - I found it an absolute privilege to stay in such a lovely place in an awesome location. Peace and quiet and very close to steep hill cove with a great walk along the coastal path to Ventnor. Upon arrival I had fruit, milk, bread, butter and cereal which I haven't had previously on many trips in self catered accommodation. The hosts were absolutely wonderful with great communication and care. The accommodation was spacious with great attention to detail with toiletries and thoughtful additions to lift the stay. I will certainly try to come back again and stay here in better weather to take advantage of the lovely private garden provided. My thanks to the hosts for a wonderful trip.
• Ian (9/5): Great place. Clean and quiet. - It was comfortable, well appointed and quiet. Kitchen well equipped and generous offering of fruit and breakfast goods. Nice shower. Really friendly host. We loved it.
• Susan (10/5): Excellent - Very comfortable, well equipped apartment. Generous welcome pack much appreciated. Steep drive and a little tricky getting out of car parking space.
• Cate (10/5): Lovely little place - Spotlessly clean, comfortable, lovely outside area Only Freeview TV but not a huge deal!
• Oliver (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rachel (10/5): Amazing accommodation and hosts. A bundle of provisions left for us which was very thoughtful. Appartment was in a good - Everything we couldn’t fault a thing. Nothing
• Khalid (10/5): An amazing stay, comfortable, clean and the host were very accommodating. We really couldn’t have asked for more, we wil - Really like the decor and cleanliness. It would have been good with the pouffe but that is being picky.
• Leah (10/5): Cozy hideaway in scenic Ventnor, a short walk from botanic garden & coastal walks. - Everything you need, nice extras ie fruit, milk, cereal, bread all supplied, ice in the freezer is a win for me. Really good value for money and hosts were attentive & available if you needed anything. Location walkable to the botanic garden was a plus for me too.
• Lyn (10/5): Fabulous short break in first class accommodation. - Lovely location. Super clean. Great attention to detail. Some very thoughtful and much appreciated extras provided. Nothing not liked except difficulty with finding a taxi for non drivers.
• Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lynne (10/5): Great first visit to the island - Lovely location having space for the car allowed us to leave the car and use public transport. Welcome pack gratefully received, along with all the extras to make a great comfortable, clean and good value for money holiday accommodation. After a day of travelling finding the accommodation was a slight challenge, this could be rectified by cutting back overgrown bushes obscuring the sign.
• Josephine (10/5): Pleasant and comfortable stay, great location and value for money - I really like the location that's close to everywhere but away from all the bustles. It was really quiet at night, the mattress and pillows are really great! Darren has showed great attention to details, making the place very cosy, like a home away from home. Will definitely stay there again if we get the chance to! nothing
• Beatrice (10/5): Very relaxing - Close to Ventnor ´ and many other nice places . From home to home , very comfortable
• Susan (9/5): Very enjoyable - Very well equipped and generously provided with food & toiletries Enjoyed the outside seating area. The hosts deserve success Problems with making the T.v work. Couldn’t get Wi-Fi connection for the phone

• Marie (10/5): Lovely clean equipped apartment - Absolutely everything there is nothing bad about this property or host. There wasn’t nothing I didn’t like x
• John (10/5): Marvellous stay on the Isle of Wight - Darren's apartment was fantastic. Very recent renovation of a spacious flat just next to the botanical gardens at Ventnor. Darren did a great job - all mod cons, even usb phone charging slots next to the bed - and a few breakfast nibbles thrown in. (There's also a great breakfast place on the beach 10 mins walk from the flat) Best value stay we've had in years on Booking.com. He helped us rent ebikes, and dropped in to see if all was well. Strongly recommended! Nothing - perfect stay!
• Maureen (9/5): We liked the cleanliness and the spaciousness of the property. Just a bit stressed as we did not receive the key code u - It was clean, private and quiet There was too much air freshener r which gave me a headache.
• Helen (10/5): Superlative accommodation and host. Everything thought of! - Host provided a lovely welcome pack of fruit and cereal, bread, milk. Everything we needed for our first morning - the fruit was a lovely touch. The property was immaculately clean and so thoughtfully presented. It felt like a real effort had been made to welcome us. Host was so pleasant to talk to and he let us know what was on locally. i can’t think of anything I didn’t like
• Richard (10/5): Fantastic little place, an undiscovered gem. - Seawinds was fresh and clean, well equiped and comfortable. Ideal for a couple who like home comforts. Darren was available to answer any questions. Super quality towels and linen. To be honest there wasn't anything we didnt like. The TV set box was a bit difficult but then technology isn't our strong point.

• Mark (9/5): Superb -
• James (9/5): Great apartment in a good location. - Good location. Well equipped accommodation. A very minor issue was the patio door lock, which would benefit from being upgraded.
• Anne (10/5): A lovely, comfortable stay 🌟 - A lovely comfortable apartment with everything you could possibly need for a holiday including parking. Lovely views and a very nice outdoor space close enough to Ventnor Town and a short walk to Steephill cove. Darren is very helpful and available if you need anything, so good we have booked for another time. Nothing to dislike
• Andrew (10/5): Perfectly quiet and relaxing, loved the place and would definitely book again - Darren is extremely helpful to. - Clean, tidy, very well presented, tea, coffee, milk and everything for your 1st morning awaiting. Abundance of towels and well stocked kitchen for utensils etc. Property is all new in side, great layout and view to the downs. Perfect outside space to sit and relax in, location is perfect for exploring the local area with access to a beach 2mins away. Be prepared for the steep drive (but that’s ventnor for you), well worth it once you are at the top.
• Simon (10/5): I need more than a short sentence to describe how lovely this place is - The whole place has been beautifully decorated. Very modern and luxurious. Darren has put a lot of work in to this wonderful little gem. Nice little touches like a coffee machine, fresh fruit, milk, cereal and more but I won’t ruin the surprise. I was made to feel very welcome by Darren. Perfect host. The fact that I wasn’t there for longer
• Karen (9/5): Beautiful holiday home, idyllic location. Super hosts - Fantastic location , so close to Steephill Cove and great walk along coastal Ventnor. An array of places to explore! The apartment is beautifully decorated with high attention to detail. Very well stocked kitchen ware to cater for indoor and alfresco dining. Sunny and shaded outdoor areas with a range of seating . Thoughtful welcome package with local produce. Darren is on hand to respond to any questions whilst ensuring your privacy is respected. We had the most amazing time . Thank you Nothing.
