Smuggler's Haven

Here for high tea? Wow! Food was amazing. In fact the whole experience was. Food, location, staff & atmosphere. Without a doubt the best on the island. If you're after a superb way to treat yourself then this must surely be at the very top of the list. To complete the package the owners/staff are exceptional. Friendly, cheerful, generous & most helpful. Simply the best!

The new owners have worked wonders in transforming the whole property into a thriving business in such a short time. I have been there 3 times in the past month and the Breakfast has been one of best I have had - eating out - in a long time. When you meet local people regularly eating in the same place - regularly - that speaks volumes to me. It was recommend by a friend and we are doing the same thing too. Give it a try, and if you have eaten there before this May then you will have a very pleasant surprise at the transformation of the whole place, the service, and the quality of the meals is very good. Try it. You won't be disappointed. Stuart.

A beautiful little tearoom tucked away above Ventnor. Lovely Gardens with seating areas and a terrace with amazing sea view. The food was delicious and, although we all chose differently from the menu, we all enjoyed our food & drinks. We even managed to squeeze in a delicious home made cake afterwards. A very tranquil setting. Staff couldn't be more helpful & informative for the vegan member of our group on what she could have. Dog friendly too. Has only been under new ownership for a week but everything was perfect! Highly recommended & looking forward to a return visit.

Well this little gem was a surprise as I found out that Paul and his lovely wife Vanessa have only been running it for 4 days cakes home made and scones tea was very good only downgraded on service as they where very busy and all taking on a new experience OTHERWISE 5STAR I wish them both joy in there new adventure
