The Terrace Rooms and Wine, a boutique bed and breakfast in Ventnor, has been recognised with two prestigious accolades by the Good Hotel Guide. It has received the Editor’s Choice award, as well as being named a César Winner for the best B&B in the UK.
The Césars, named after Swiss hotelier César Ritz, are among the most respected awards in the hospitality industry.
What Makes a César Winner?
Only 12 Césars are awarded annually to hotels, inns and B&Bs that stand out in their category. The selection process begins with trusted reports from readers, which highlight exceptional establishments.
When a property garners consistently excellent feedback, an anonymous inspector visits to experience the service firsthand. The Good Hotel Guide’s editorial team then makes the final decision.
These awards are highly valued by hoteliers and travel writers for their independence and credibility.
A boutique experience at The Terrace
The Good Hotel Guide describes The Terrace as offering a unique twist on traditional B&Bs: “Forget bed and breakfast and make it wine, bed and breakfast.”
Ashley and Tom Fahey have created a distinctive guesthouse in their Italianate Victorian villa, which overlooks Ventnor’s promenade.
As reported by OnTheWight when the venture first opened, boutique-style bedrooms feature custom wood panelling, modern furnishings and original architectural elements.
Wine, food, and coastal views
Guests can enjoy complimentary wine tastings in The Terrace’s wine room, which boasts shelves of carefully curated bottles. During the day, cheese and charcuterie platters pair perfectly with sea views from the villa.
The Terrace’s combination of fine wine, local food and beautiful design has set it apart in the UK’s competitive B&B scene.
Tom told OnTheWight,
“We’re so proud of this. The Good Hotel Guide is independent and judged by expert inspectors so it really means a lot to Ashley and I.
“We genuinely see The Island as a year-round destination, not just somewhere for summer sun, hopefully being Britain’s best B&B gets us that bit closer to spreading the word!”
Ventnor shines again
This latest recognition for The Terrace further highlights Ventnor’s growing reputation as a destination for unique and high-quality hospitality experiences.
With awards like the César, Ventnor remains firmly on the map for discerning travellers.
