  Fab-u-lous !

  The Culver Down Manor exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we were warmly met and shown around by the lovely house manager Sara, until the moment we regretfully closed the door for the last time, behind us, we had the most amazing weekend. The house is beautiful and spotlessly clean. It is evident that so much care and attention to detail of this period property has been made by the owners Laurence and Sharon. There is a wide choice of stunning bedrooms. I can certainly recommend bedroom 4 with en-suite facilities and panoramic views of the garden and the sea beyond. Everyone commented about how comfortable the beds were. You will be equally amazed by the communal facilities of the drawing room, dinning room and kitchen. I have never seen such beautiful stained glass windows in a house before. We were lucky enough with the weather to sit out and appreciate all that the garden has to offer. Without doubt our stay at the Culver Down Manor has created such wonderful memories I don’t think anyone in our party will ever forget. If only I could give it more than 5 stars I would.

  A real privilege

  When I was looking for somewhere to have my sixtieth birthday celebration, I came across this house, and from the description seemed perfect, but just too good to be true. But I can now say that not only did it live up to expectations, but amazingly exceeded them. The setting is stunning, in beautiful grounds on the the clifftop, but it is the house itself that is the star. Big light and airy rooms, with wonderful furnishings and fittings and decor, all in keeping with the Art Deco theme, made you feel you had stepped back into a bygone age. It felt a real privilege to be staying there, and trusted with this amazing place. The big dining room was a perfect setting for my birthday dinner, and the kitchen had everything you could possibly want to prepare and serve the meal. The owner was very helpful and responsive, and on his recommendation we had food for the meal supplied by Deli Tramezzini, which was great, and a cake from Wight Vintage, which was also wonderful. So it was very memorable weekend for us all, topped off by the lovely warm and sunny weather the whole time.

  Magnificent art deco house

  We are a multi-generational family (13 people ranging from 2-70) celebrating a special birthday. The house was perfect for us all with plenty of bedroom and living space and a lovely big dining table. The bathrooms worked even well even thought not ensuite. Loads of hot water, crockery, glasses, etc. we all slept upstairs and didn't need to use the downstairs bedroom. The gardens and outdoor space were fabulous, we just needed better weather. The location is excellent, there is a locked gate straight onto the cliff path with a very popular cafe metres away and steps down to the beach (quite steep return). The owners and manager were extremely helpful. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

  Beautifully furnished, comfortable sleeping, magical stained glass windows

  A house full of the 1920's but a 21st century experience. Beautifully furnished, comfortable sleeping, magical stained glass windows and a classic large private garden. We were 17 with 3 of us fanatical cooks and although the kitchen surfaces need some updating the facilities were ideal and the kitchen well equipped. Given the plethora of art deco ornaments, decorative items and original antique furniture this may not be the ideal place for boisterous children but for well behaved families it makes for the perfect large family/friends holiday. Recommended day out is Osbourne house, gardens and beach - not sure the bottles of Mead are worth it though!
