The Potting Shed

“Unique, peaceful and special hideaway. The takeaway meals and local beer were fabulous. Free access to Botanic Gardens when quiet was perfect for spotting red squirrels and lizards. Lovely short walk to a local cove and Ventnor beach.”
Colin Sept 2023

“Very special holiday home set in Botanical gardens with 24hrs access to gardens. Dog and children adored it. Steephill Cove is a fabulous beach and wonderful walk along costal path to Spyglass Inn at Ventnor.”
Mr P Ball.

 

DESCRIPTION & LOCATION

Tucked away in the Upper Nursery at the sub-tropical Ventnor Botanic Garden, The Potting Shed is a tiny home perfect for a couple’s short break. The Potting Shed’s floor to ceiling window provides an uninterrupted view across the Upper Garden.

The Potting Shed is the two-room little brother of The Cabin. Inside, the quality kitchen has all the basics you will need for your self-catering retreat. With an outside wood deck and a BBQ at your disposal you’ll be relaxing into your stay in no time.

The Potting Shed sleeps 2 in a double bed.It has a full kitchen with induction hob, fan oven, toaster, fridge, and, of course, a kettle.

Shared washroom and digitally controlled shower facilities are very close to The Potting Shed consisting of an Eco Conscious composting toilet and a  digital shower with a roof light to let the sunshine in. Toiletries are not provided.

The Garden 

You can even order meals from our chefs, enjoy a barista coffee or breakfast in The Plantation Room Café, and dine at edulis, our restaurant which features Ventnor Botanic Garden-grown produce.

All stays at VBG include complimentary (Yes, free!) access to Ventnor Botanic Garden and its Shop, Café, Restaurant, Studio, and Garden Gallery. See for more about “What’s On.” Staying at Ventnor Botanic Garden gives you a great base to explore the Coastal Path, Steephill Cove, and The Undercliff.

Guest access

Guests can enjoy complimentary access to the whole of the Garden – even when the Garden is closed to the public. The Potting Shed is also easy walking distance to the picturesque Steephill Cove.

The neighbourhood

Ventnor Botanic Garden sits right on the Coastal Path which runs along the cliff top to Ventnor to the East and St Catherine’s Lighthouse to the West – a particularly beautiful area.

Ventnor is a charming Victorian town with many boutique shops, superb eateries and a family friendly beach.
