Nineteenth century ex guesthouse at the western end of Ventnor Esplanade in a superb position overlooking the English Channel. The inn has considerable character and boasts a large collection of seafaring memorabilia. Wisely, the temptation was avoided to knock all the rooms into one; instead they have been skilfully incorporated into the overall layout. Local seafood is a speciality and there is a small beer festival every year. Regular entertainment most evenings and on a Sunday lunchtime the piano with some foot tapping melodies. Families welcome with five ales summer (four winter). One of the apartments is dog friendly.
