“The hotel's Victorian bones house a blend of charm and modern updates. I especially note the sea-view dining terrace and the curated wine list. It stands out for its direct beach access; a real draw in Ventnor.”

fresh breakfastgrubby carpetworn decor

The room had a balcony facing the sea. The breakfast was prepared fresh each morning, and it offered a good selection.

The carpet looked grubby, it seemed like it had not seen a vacuum in ages. The decor was not just vintage, it was worn. I think new carpeting would have been nice.
