About this property

Large Victorian House With Games Room, Sea Views And Lovely Garden, Sleeps 10

This large Victorian house comfortably sleeps 10 people over four floors. Painstakingly furnished, it has a lovely, large open-plan living area split between lounge and games room. Board games, toys, books and a pool table are all available for guests to use, as well as a large garden with terraced dining area . The property has 3 x kingsize bedrooms, a twin/double room and bunk room. The ground floor has a shower room with WC, there are separate WCs on the 1st and 2nd floors and a bath/shower/WC on the 2nd floor. The kitchen/breakfast room is on the ground floor and has informal seating for 4 people plus a more formal dining area for up to 10.

After a day of exploring, you'll have the perfect place to sit and relax with a glass of wine or cup of tea. The Downs are literally at the end of the garden path and if you're a nature lover, you'll enjoy seeing our regular wildlife visitors throughout the seasons including a wide range of butterflies, birds and bees.

Ventnor really is the perfect location for a family break. The town has individuality, character and everything within walking distance; perfect for strolling on the beach or on beautiful downs, wildlife spotting, seeking out rare flora and fauna at the Ventnor Botanic Garden, water sports, sea safaris, tennis, golf and of course challenging cycling routes. Ventnor hosts its own carnival and several festivals throughout the year; the Isle of Arts in May and the Ventnor Fringe Festival in August. And with it's famously temperate climate, Ventnor is also ideal for a Spring or Autumn visit.

If you take the coastal path from Ventnor or walk down through the Ventnor Botanic Garden, you'll discover Steephill Cove, a hidden gem inaccessible by car. In the other direction, Bonchurch is also just a short stroll away and offers a wealth of pretty walks. You can relax in the Pond Café, visit the pottery studios, explore secluded coves along the coastal path, tackle the more challenging footpaths weaving their way up the undercliff or take the gentle stroll along the waters edge stopping at the SeaPot for fresh crab pasties at Wheeler's Bay.

While there's a lot to keep you in Ventnor, Bonchurch and Steephill Cove, you'll also be conveniently located for visiting other favourites such as Shanklin Chine, Godshill and The Needles plus events such as the Isle of Wight Festival, Cowes Week, walking and cycling festivals and even a Garlic Festival!

Family time at Cressingham
This is a lovely, large house that easily accomodated our party of 10. The family room provided much fun for everyone with the bar billiards table a big attraction. Sadly though, we found the property in a very dirty condition , with the impression ofnot having been lived in for some time. We lodged a complaint and were assured that someone would arrive to clean the house the next day, sadly , this did not happen and we had to do a basic clean for ourselves. I am still waiting for redress with regard to this. However, I am sure that the owner will address this issue and then Cressingham will be a wonderful place for a happy family holiday.

Amazing week at Cressingham!
We had such a wonderful stay at Cressingham with the most incredible weather. It is a beautiful house in a fantastic location with gorgeous sea views. We love Ventnor and Bonchurch and this is a great place to be based. House had everything we needed (apart from a jug!) and was comfortable and clean. The garden was lovely and shady and great space for evening bbqs and firepit. Thank you so much sarah and Marc for sharing your house with us. Highly recommend!

the garden
The garden was a nice open space but up various steps and not so useful for the children. Everything in Ventnor is on a steep hill - people need to be aware of that!
