The Old Radar Station, St Boniface Down, Ventnor NY LISTE
Ligger på øyas høyeste punkt, har du muligheten til å bo i et ekstraordinært stykke britisk historie. Denne nylig konverterte WW2 mottakerstasjonen utgjorde en kritisk del av Storbritannias Chain Home Radar Early Warning System.
"Jeg tror vi kan si at slaget om Storbritannia aldri ville blitt vunnet ... hvis det ikke var for radarkjeden" MRAF Sir William Sholto Douglas
I dag ligger huset på St Boniface Down, i det vakre National Trust-landskapet, og tilbyr komfortable, moderne rom med spektakulær utsikt ut mot havet og mot den nærliggende byen Ventnor. I første etasje er det 4 sjenerøse soverom (3 store dobler - 2 med eget bad, og 1 med to senger), verktøy og familiebad. I den nye første etasjen er det en stor åpen planløsning som inneholder stue, spisestue og kjøkken. Sørvest er det fantastisk utsikt ut mot bukten og havet utenfor. Fra kjøkkenet er det tilgang til en stor vernet takterrasse med utsikt rett over øya og tilbake til fastlandet. Besøk National Trusts hjemmeside for entusiastiske turgåere
Vær oppmerksom på: den historiske naturen til denne bygningen og dens nasjonale liste skaper unike rom. Selv om soverommene i første etasje er luksuriøse, tror vi, og alle har vinduer, og de har ikke utsikt, ettersom de er plassert i de originale områdene i Radar-bygningen. Vi føler utsikten over salongen og terrassen i første etasje mer enn å gjøre opp for at dette gir noen av de mest spektakulære utsikten på øya.

A wonderful place to stay for a long birthday weekend with friends! Sarah was an excellent host and the property really has everything you need. Such a fantastic location with the shops and restaurants of Ventnor just a few minutes away! Would highly recommend!

The property is perfect for two families to stay in. Sarah was extremely helpful and accommodating.
It is not the most luxurious place in the world, but perfectly comfortable and sympathetically designed to blend with its setting and the original

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.
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.
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!
This fantastic re-working of a unique historical WW-II radar station is simpy unique. Its outlook alone is great and complete with the book written about the history of the site and its re-working make it complete. Go!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
I booked this property nearly a year ago as a celebration Tamark my 40th year with a group of friends including my sister and cousin.
The property looked extremely quirky and perfect for what I was wanting.
Having just returned home today I really cannot put into words what a fabulous weekend we have had! The Radar Station is utterly breathtaking and I don’t think any amount of photographs would ever do it justice!
The most remarkable spot with such incredible history and uniqueness.
The view is utterly breathtaking and again it is only when you are there you really can appreciate how special this place really is!
Everything about our weekend was five star!
The decor of the property was also impeccable and everything has been thought through with great thought.
I recommend you read the little book which is provided which gives you an insight into the history on this remarkable property.
All I can say is we were very sad to leave and very much hope that one day we can return and recreate magical memories which I know will last a lifetime.
There’s not a bad word I would have to say about the property only, I wish it could’ve been longer!
We had lunch at the smoking lobster down in town and would go as far as to say it’s one of the best meals we have ever had - so I would highly recommend that
Many thanks
Kate
