Chert, Ventnor

Along the southern coast of the Isle of Wight is Chert, a delightful holiday home that’s bright, airy and filled with character. This sleek and contemporary home away from home is ideal for anyone visiting the Isle of Wight for a relaxing self-catering holiday. It’s in the sleepy village of St Lawrence and offers captivating coastal views thanks to its clifftop location. 

Chert is a well-designed holiday home that’s sophisticated and impressive throughout. One of its key features is the balcony from which you can enjoy breath taking views of the coast. Another feature that’s worth mentioning is the large glass windows that let in a generous amount of natural light. Chert comes equipped with all the amenities you could need for a hassle-free stay. Because of its uncovered garden pond and steep metal spiral staircase, it’s not recommended for children under the age of 12.

The holiday home is well located for anyone keen to explore the Isle of Wight. Nearby is the charming town of Ventnor, known for its independent shops and eateries, not to mention its pleasantly warm weather. Half an hour’s drive away is the bustling capital town of Newport, which boasts a choice of lovely shops, restaurants and bars. Some of the most popular local attractions include Carisbrooke Castle, Butterfly World IOW and Monkey Haven – Primate Rescue Centre.
