David and his staff were excellent hosts. We were greeted by the owner upon arrival and were given an upgrade to a larger room. Very clean and well stocked room with all one would expect from the corporates. Breakfast was equally excellent with nothing being too much, absolutely recommended.

Nice place

We had a great stay at St. Maur. Very cozy Victorian hotel with large and clean rooms, which sits on the hill, overlooking Ventnor and the ocean. A beautiful garden in front of the building. Check-in and check-out very simple. The owner is very responsive to requests. The parking is limited in front of the hotel, however lots of space for street parking. Lots of options for breakfast.

Traditional comfortable small hotel, nice location

St Maur is a spendid Victorian villa with lovely gardens and views, now run as an 8-room guest house. We stayed for 3 nights B&B in the 2nd floor family room, which was comfortable and just about big enough for 4 of us. The owners and staff were very welcoming and friendly. The breakfasts were excellent. We enjoyed our evening walks to Ventnor, with the main beach, Ventnor Park, the Botanic Gardens and Steephill Cove easily walkable.
