The Botanist Rest, a charming flint cottage dating back to the 1840s, is situated in a tranquil side street of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, often referred to as the 'English Mediterranean' due to its unique micro-climate. This delightful property is inspired by the renowned Ventnor Botanical Gardens, making it an ideal retreat for families or couples seeking relaxation after exploring the stunning surroundings of the Isle of Wight. Accommodating up to four guests, the cottage features a botanical theme that permeates the entire space, including a private kitchen garden for guests to enjoy during their stay.
Upon entering the cottage, visitors are greeted by a Victorian-inspired lounge filled with plants, books, and curiosities, providing a cozy atmosphere for relaxation. The seating arrangement includes a three-piece leather Chesterfield sofa and an armchair, perfect for unwinding. Guests can indulge in their love for gardening by tending to the plants, or enjoy entertainment through the Bang Olufsen smart TV equipped with Netflix and Amazon Prime. A small workspace is also available for those who may need to catch up on work or find inspiration amidst the beautiful setting.
The dining area, featuring a lovely Victorian fireplace, creates a warm space for guests to share meals and reminisce about their day's adventures. The well-equipped kitchen includes modern appliances such as a toaster, kettle, microwave, oven, and a Dualit coffee machine for coffee enthusiasts. Guests can step out onto the private garden patio to enjoy al fresco dining, utilizing the herbs and fruits from the kitchen garden. The enclosed garden, adorned with a grapevine and fruit trees, provides a serene setting for evening relaxation with cocktails and a selection of herbs and spices available for culinary exploration.
As the day winds down, guests can retreat to the inviting bedrooms upstairs. The larger bedroom boasts stunning views of St Boniface Down, a king-size bed, and ample storage space, while the smaller room features a full-sized bunk bed suitable for children or smaller adults. Both rooms are adorned with the cottage's botanical theme and include freshly laundered linens. The bathroom, with its charming quirks, includes a shower over the bath and a towel warming radiator, although taller guests may find the shower head slightly low. With its picturesque views, quirky features, and proximity to local amenities and attractions, The Botanist Rest offers an enchanting getaway on the Isle of Wight.
