Description

´We can´t believe our good fortune, finding this place quite by chance - it was wonderful. Thank you so much.´ Mike and Lynn Werrett, Whitland, South Wales. The Enjoy England Quality Scheme have awarded the Hermitage Country House 5 Stars Gold Award -its highest grade for serviced accommodation. The inspector reported: ´The Hermitage Country House continues to offer an exceptionally high quality of accommodation, in a peaceful, relaxing location.

The guest experience is enhanced by high standards of housekeeping, friendly personal service and a hearty breakfast before departing. This really is a special treat that will not be forgotten any time soon.´ The Hermitage Country House, 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.

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. ´A bit of Heaven on Earth. Fortunately open for sinners. A wonderful week.´ Bill and Brenda Humphreys
