Muddy misfortune brought our party of three to St Catherine's House during the 2012 Isle of Wight festival. Our soily sadness was instantly dissolved by the warmth of Shelley and Duncan's welcome. So much so that we longed for our lodgings whilst at the festival and had we not paid a small fortune for our tickets we'd very happily have... More

St Catherine's house is one of the best B&B where we ever stayed. The house is very cosy and could be shown in a magazine for its delicious decoration. It is surrounded with a magnificent garden fitted out with comfortable sofas where we can relax. Our room was very comfortable with an extra-large bed and a superb bathroom. The breakfast... More

St Catherine's house is located beautifully in Ventnor, very quiet and with a lovely garden where you can sit outside in the sun and enjoy your cup of coffee or tea. The beach front (check out the Ale & Oyster restaurant there) and the high street with a few shops, pubs/restaurants, supermarket are both in walking distance, only about 5... More

If a house is what you make of it, then Shelley and Duncan have definitely made the best out of theirs. This sweet and beautiful bed and breakfast is exactly what you need when you're on holidays: perfectly located within walking distance from the beach, it is a warm and welcoming place with true character that comes from the heart...

Nothing was too much trouble and their attention to detail is unsurpassed.

Many thanks to Shelley and Duncan for a warm welcome into their beautiful home; St Catherine's House is a wonderful home with a fantastic double room and a great view. We really enjoyed our time here and Shelley's choice of breakfasts was fantastic – I particularly enjoyed the kippers!! Nothing was too much for our hosts and we received good... More

St Catherine's House is the most comfortable, friendly and beautifully furnished guest houses I have ever stayed in. It is excellently located within Ventnor with the town centre a short stroll in one direction, and the beach a short stroll the other way. Shelley made us feel really excited about staying there from the moment we booked and we weren't... More

St Catherine's House is by far the best B & B I have stayed in, in many years. The garden was quite beautiful and restful to laze about in after my usual afternoon walk down to the seafront, which one can clearly see from the front bedroom. The accommodation was excellent lovely light and airy bedroom beautiful furnishings and extremeley... More

When i first enquired about staying at St. Catherine's House, Shelley was so enthusiastic in her description of the B&B and Ventnor that i had no trouble in deciding that this was the right place to stay. I'm pleased to say that our three nights spent there confirmed it. It's very obvious that this is Shelley and Duncan's home and... More
