Thank you! Everything about our stay was amazing. The kitchen has all the equipment you need. The kids had fun in the playroom with all kinds of board games, my grandson with Xbox and table tennis and everyone with a Harry Potter room. They were all super happy. The adults admired the amazing garden with sea view, the garden is like in a fairy tale, congratulations. Thank you again for our great stay! We will be happy to visit you again and will certainly recommend you to friends.

Why they chose this property

I first saw Tall Timbers on a visit to the Island in 2014. The owner at the time had spent years developing the multi-level garden and the result was so spectacular, I fell in love with the place. The house itself is the perfect size for my family (six of us) to holiday with another family. The discovery of the cricket ground and Steephill Cove, both just a stone's throw away, was the clincher.

What makes this property unique

The house has some wonderful features, like the gardens that climb up towards the cliff at the back of the property, giving decking and patios on various levels. Thanks to Ventnor's microclimate, the garden is planted with palms, figs, cacti and all kinds of semi-tropical plants.
Another feature is the 'Harry Potter Bedroom' - the magical cupboard-under-the-stairs, which is great for any young fan of the books/films.
