The Hermitage, nestling within its own grounds of about 12 acres of garden and woods, is situated at the top of St Catherine's Down, the Isle of Wight's second highest point, on the southern most part of the Island. The remote setting offers the ideal retreat for those wanting a restful break.

The gardens and grounds offer quiet seclusion and the setting is ideal for those who enjoy country walks. Footpaths abound in all directions and the top of the downs is National Trust land with panoramic views across the Island.

All bedrooms feature fully restored antique beds to add a touch of class to your stay. All rooms are furnished with antique furniture and equipped with remote control television with teletext, tea and coffee making facilities, clock radios and hairdryers. As well as full central heating, each room has a wall mounted convection heater. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms or shower rooms with heated towel rails. Breakfast is served in a large attractive drawing room overlooking the patio.

A study on the first floor overlooking the gardens offers guests a selection of books and magazines as well as being an excellent vantage point to admire the flora and fauna. Several public houses serving food are a short drive away and several island restaurants are highly recommended.

All bedrooms are non-smoking, but ashtrays are provided on the patio. We regret we cannot accommodate children or pets. The English Tourism Council have awarded the Hermitage 5 diamonds gold award - its highest grade for serviced accommodation.,br>
