Nice spacious room and well appointed. Stuart was very welcoming and outlined the facilities available.
As well as in-room coffee & tea facilities there's fresh milk and sodas in a fridge in the lounge. There's an optional continental breakfast which is delivered to your door at a time of your choosing in the morning and can be enjoyed in-room, in the lounge or in the garden. Alternatively, if you prefer a cooked breakfast, there are a couple of nearby cafes recommended.

A fantastic BnB, the owner has done a great job creating a really nice property here that also has a cool laid-back vibe as well as all the amenities you could wish for. Couldn’t have been more helpful as a host too - wish we’d stayed longer but as we were on a tour round the island we only had one night!

We stayed for 4 nights at Cornerhouse with Stuart and Linda and found them to be extremely helpful and the property convenient, comfortable, clean and well organised, you could go down for a continental style breakfast or it could be delivered to your room. Parking spaces were fine also their recommendations were great for local pubs alternative breakfasts etc.

Hidden Gem.

I chose Cornerways as it had excellent reviews, having stayed there a week I can fully concur. The proprietors, Stu & Lin couldn't have been nicer or anymore helpful.
The situation was great to, with views of the sea from our bedroom and also from the garden. There was a guest lounge and separate breakfast room where for a small extra you could have a continental breakfast, which was so good we had it each day.
What a lovely place can't wait for an opportunity to return.

Comfort with wonderful sea views

Cornerways is a comfortable, welcoming and spotlessly clean place to stay. The continental breakfasts served in a picnic basket to your own room were generous and delicious. Chilled water and milk are freely available for making drinks and there is plenty of parking either on site or on the road outside. Stuart couldn't have been more helpful. Highly recommended

Relaxing B & B with wonderful amenities

Our recent 2 night stay at Cornerways in Ventnor went very well indeed. Linda & Stuart made us feel very welcome and were relaxed and friendly. The accommodation is in walking distance to the seafront and town, so is very convenient. The room had a partial sea view and was spotless. Tea & coffee facilities and TV. The breakfast are optional but were excellent, healthy (muesli, nuts ,seeds and other choices too ) and eaten outside with a view of the sea.
It is a peaceful location and Ventnor itself is lush with flowers, trees and magnificent ocean views. We used this as a base to travel around the whole island.
I would recommend this B & B in a heart beat and hope to return ASAP. Thanks to you both Stuart & Linda for a wonderful stay.

Great stay whilst working nearby

A comfortable two night stay whilst working away. The hosts were polite, attentive and welcoming. The room was clean and comfy with plenty of tea and coffee. The breakfast basket was a nice touch too. Only thing I would have liked is a little more water pressure from the shower but otherwise I can’t fault it. I would happily stay here again and will likely do so in the not too distant future.

Faultless!

I spent three nights at Cornerways and they kindly let me store my bicycle panniers inside the premises as I arrived before the check-in time. This meant I could explore Ventnor with my belongings secure.

The B&B was in a lovely quiet location. My room was huge; I had a sea view towards Monks Bay, a large comfortable bed, ensuite bathroom AND, unexpectedly an ensuite dressing room.

I was able to leave my bike safely in the front, private garden.

Whilst breakfast was not included in the room rate the b&b offered a breakfast basket with a choice of contents for £6 which I opted for on the first day. Mine included orange juice, flask of filtered coffee, cereal, a fresh fruit pot, nuts, a selection of small rustic rolls and a banana - very good value for money and I kept some items for snacks whilst cycling around the island during the day.

There was a small garden to the front of the property with table & chairs for guests to enjoy at any time and I had two al fresco breakfasts purchased from a supermarket and I was kindly offered a cup of coffee which was lovely.

COVID precautions extended to no room servicing for short stays, however, fresh towels were available, fresh cups and glasses with replenishment of tea/coffee etc. There was a fridge with a good supply of cold water and room for the odd bottle of wine!

A wonderful stay and wholly recommended

We were travelling by bus and the hotel was convenient for public transport down a quiet road with a good view of the sea and a level walk into Ventnor. Breakfast was served in a bright airy dining room and offered a range of options including a lovely fresh fruit salad and freshly cooked breakfast. We would certainly use this hotel again.

Stayed in better

When we saw the reviews for this B&B we were expecting big things. Sadly we were left a little bit disappointed.

The room was average. It had everything you needed, but lacked any sparkle. The bed was in the way of the mirror so you couldn't stand in front of it. The bath mat smelt really bad. Hotel staff we found to be a little curt.

Ventnor is nice. Quite quiet.

By all means not a bad B&B but didn't really live up to 4.8 out of 5.
