The Terrace Rooms and Wine

A six-room Victorian guesthouse perched above Ventnor's esplanade, where a clawfoot tub sits in front of bay windows and someone has already thought about the view. The team runs evening wine tastings and a communal Friday dinner cooked entirely from island produce, so it skews more house party than hotel stay. There's an onsite wine shop if you need something for a picnic along the coast.
