Fabulous location for a reunion/birthday

We are a group of university friends coming in from Japan, USA, Germany and Switzerland for a reunion and celebration of 50 year old birthdays. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms allowed for ample privacy and comfort. The silence and remoteness was exactly what we needed to unplug from our personal/work lives. We were also blessed with good weather to enjoy the wonderful views from the property. Ventnor is a quiet spot that also matched what we were looking for, and the house served as a convenient location for our hikes.

The Old Radar Station is a unique and very fun place to stay. The views from the main living area are stunning. It’s a great place to stay with a group of friends or family with perfect spaces for socialising together. Sarah kept in touch and shared plenty of helpful information via email. The area around The Old Radar Station is perfect for walks to enjoy the scenery.

Christmas at The Old Radar Station

We spent Christmas at The Old Radar Station, an unforgettable experience at this unique, fascinating home in the most outstanding location on St. Boniface Down. The accommodation is extremely comfortable, with everything you could possibly need for a luxury stay in this unusual property. Sarah, our host, went the extra mile to make our Christmas experience wonderful and provide advice and recommendations for restaurants and places to visit and was always available should we have any questions. Highly recomended!

A fantastic and unique place to stay.

Sarah was a helpful and attentive host and the house has the most amazing view. Probably worth flagging that the house isn't on the mains water so you need to be careful to conserve water, it wasn't a problem for us but I may be an issue if you like long frequent baths! Overall we had a fantastic time and wouldn't hesitate to return, thanks Sarah!

A Unique Place to Stay

What a privilege to stay in this piece of 20th century history. The highlights are the amazing views down to the coast at Ventnor and the sea beyond as well as the awesome night sky in this area protected from light pollution. The building itself originally a utilitarian radar station has been. reimagined for modern living with an Inspired open plan living area and kitchen on the upper level to supplement the existing downstairs offices, converted to bedrooms and bathrooms. Sarah’s communication was excellent and we felt very much at home in this glorious space.

Amazing

The Old Radar Station is amazing and the views are breathtaking. If you are looking for somewhere away from it all this is the ideal place. Complete peace and quiet. We stayed for three nights and didn’t want to leave. The location is incredible and the surrounding National Trust land is perfect for walking and taking advantage of the wonderful views. A remarkable amount of thought has been given to the renovation of this historic property and the blend of new with the old is very clever and beautiful. It is a unique and very special place to stay. An interesting book which explains the history of the property and describes the renovation process is available to read on site.Sarah is the perfect host, very friendly and helpful. She made us feel extremely welcome and at home. Thank you so much, Sarah, we’re looking forward to returning again soon.

A real must see - stunning property and views

Really loved our stay here! The only reason I gave two 4 stars rather than all 5 stars is that the property was behind schedule as we were the first ever guests. We knew this in advance and Sarah communicated to us what was going on. They were kind enough to offer us to come back again some time soon at their expense too so looking forward to seeing their final loving renovation of the Old Radar Station. A fantastic experience, awesome views and a stunning property. What more could you want?

Sensational retreat setting for a two-family rendezvous

Two families from different continents, friends for over a decade, convened at the Radar Station House for another annual rendezvous. The house is amazing! Sleeping rooms were comfortable and quiet, and allowed for ample privacy with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The upstairs area was well appointed, with stunning views and really nice gathering spaces for meals and connection. As a surprise, the weather was exquisitely cooperative, and we hiked at different parts of the isle most days, enjoyed lunches at pubs or inns, and retreated back to the house for more time together. Sarah is a responsive and kind host, and our entry and exit from the property were easy. We highly recommend this gorgeous unique property!

Amazing place!!

From the initial enquiry right through to our stay at The Old Radar Station, we were thoroughly impressed. Sarah kept us constantly updated with info and answered our queries quickly and efficiently. When we arrived at the property, we were blown away. The place is absolutely stunning and has been sympathetically renovated to a very high standard whilst keeping the history of the place in mind. It was spotless and they had thought of everything. It is well appointed with basic provisions and lots of crockery and cutlery and cooking facilities. The views are out of this world. Even the kids found themselves looking up from their phones quite a lot!! I would recommend this place to anybody. Whilst it is situated on it's own, you feel very secure. Delphi and Sarah were both very helpful and quick to respond as necessary. I hope we can come back and stay again as I'm already missing the quiet and the views. Outstanding property and highly recommend.

Fantastic, away from it all, break with my husband, his parents and our spaniel. What a find! Tv doesn’t get a good signal but loads of dvds to choose from. (I enjoyed not having a telly). The views are amazing - so is the silence around you. The walking is some of the best I’ve done straight out of the front gate. There are quite a lot of cows but easy enough to avoid if you have a frightened dog, like us. The water supply is rainwater (uv filtered on site) and this did wonders for my hair 😝. The host provides ample bottled water to drink because it tastes better. Plenty of provisions left for you to use, if needed, just replace them before you leave. And a lovely bottle of welcome champagne. We will definitely be booking again.

Amazing house, amazing location!

We enjoyed two wonderful weeks in this unique house. The views are to die for and - even on the few days the clouds came down - being on the top of the down was a really atmospheric experience. The house was full of thoughtful touches and immaculately clean. We appreciated the welcome and local advice from the housekeeper - and enjoyed the chilled bottle of fizz waiting in the fridge. Ventnor is full of fascinating and fun places - we'd especially recommend Crave ice creams at the Ventnorian and the Smoking Lobster restaurant on the seafront.
