St Maur

Upon arrival we were welcomed by the owner David. Upgraded to a larger room in this very quaint B&B. Spotlessly clean we had a great view of the sea and a comfortable bed. The room was stocked with everything you would expect and a great shower. Breakfast was excellent with nothing being too much “just ask” Nothing is to far on the I.O.W. and ate on our first night at Masala Bay, again a great experience. The donkey sanctuary and Osborne house completed our short break to the Island with St Maur B&B in Ventnor being the jewel. Absolutely recommended

We loved our short stay here. The staff, without exception, were effective and welcoming, and it was a delight to meet David and sense his pride in the island, the town and this hotel, owned by his family for more than 50 years. The rooms are all immaculate, and outside the Mediterranean gardens are impressive (extending even to home grown lemons) When we started to plan our trip.we had no particular intention to come to Ventnor, let alone the St Maur, but we didn’t regret our choice

The accommodation was outstanding. David, the proprietor, and his staff were all very welcoming, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was excellent and varied. The cleanliness of the guest house was superb and our room was absolutely beautiful. The room was cleaned and ready every day by the time we returned from breakfast. Special thanks to Lisa and Tracey too, who really looked after us. We cannot speak highly enough of this beautiful location and will definitely be returning. Thank you David and staff for making our stay perfect.

We spent 4 nights here at the beginning of August & enjoyed our stay at this lovely guest house. It was a perfect location for us to explore the island. We were greeted by the friendly owner, David, who kindly carried our bags up two flights of stairs as we were in room 7 on the top floor. Our twin bed room was spacious & clean & we had a lovely large bathroom with separate shower. Shower gel & shampoo were provided but take your own conditioner & body lotion. Our beds were comfortable if a little small (2x 3/4 beds would have been better) & we had lovely views of the garden, sea & park from our Juliette balcony & the side window also. There was a fridge in our room with a small bottle of fresh milk & a kettle with plenty of tea, coffee & biscuits provided. We managed to find a parking space on the small car park each day & although we didn't partake in any drinks from the "Honesty Bar" during our stay, it did look well stocked. The one thing we found odd was that breakfast was only served between 830 am - 915 am, so not even a full hour. Not everyone wants to eat breakfast early & this short time allowance we felt was restrictive. That said, the cooked breakfasts were very good & freshly prepared, & there was plenty of choice. Nothing was too much trouble for them and Gina, our waitress, was pleasant & fun.

This a real gem of small hotel. We stayed for 4 nights and were made to feel right at home in this charming Edwardian villa, by David and his lovely staff. Everywhere was spotless and our room was surprisingly spacious, light and airy with it's own balcony and views out over the hotel's stunning tropical gardens. It was a very comfortable bed and the ensuite bathroom was huge, with separate shower and bath, and plenty of towels. We were very appreciative of the fresh milk provided in the mini fridge, for that early morning cuppa! Our room was serviced meticulously every day. Breakfast was always freshly cooked to order. Alice and Lisa, the waiting staff were lovely and recommended restaurants, pubs and places of interest to visit. This was our first visit to the IOW and we had a very comfortable stay at this lovely b&b, situated a short distance from Ventnor and easily accessed by walking through the nearby park and along the clifftop coastal path down onto Ventnor sea front. Thank you to David for the lovely stay for our anniversary. We couldn't have picked a more charming place, which definitely stands out from the rest!

We have to echo all the 5 Star reviews on this beautiful place. From booking with David to arrival and our stay it has been superb. The room is on the second floor, yes a few stairs but very much worth it. We stayed in room seven that has a Juliette balcony and views over the subtropical gardens and the sea. we had a super king size bed which was extremely comfortable. A very large room which was bright and spotlessly clean. The breakfast is fantastic beautifully home-cooked and good quality produce. The fruit selection was plentiful, far more than most hotels. The service we received with Alice was fantastic, polite and professional. We would definitely stay here again. Well done to David and all his staff
