Woodlands, a well furnished and equipped property, commands spectacular sea views, and is set in a resort with a climate mild enough to attract visitors almost all year round. Charming, this GradeII listed Victorian villa was built in 1842,and boasts a 1/3of an acre walled garden.Detached, it is just half a mile from Ventnor - a largely unspoilt Victorian seaside resort, where attractions include the Botanical Gardens and several museums. Nestling beneath the 800ft St Boniface Downs, this small town is built on a series of terraces and is protected by steep surrounding hills, with its roads zig-zagging down to a sandy beach; Woodlands is perched on the edge of one of these terraces commanding uninterrupted views of the English Channel from the garden and every room.In addition to Blackgang Chine and the coloured sands of Alum Bay, there is a vast array of attractions within a 30-minute drive. There are local, as well as island-wide, facilities for tennis, golf and riding, and miles of spectacular cliff and downland walks. Two Heritage Coast footpaths follow the best of the shoreline, one running from Totland to St Lawrence on the south coast, the other from east of Yarmouth to west of Cowes along the north coast, each taking in a surprising variety of landscapes and coastal scenery.For formal dining, the Royal Hotel, where Queen Victoria occasionally took afternoon tea, is just 200yards away. Only a 5-minute walk to the sandy beach, with its small boat slipway and haven, and close to the heart of the town - where promenade pubs serve locally-caught fresh fish dishes, it is perfectly placed for an Isle holiday.
